Canon A720IS flash problem/low battery indicator




By davebcampbel on Mar 13, 2009

" "
I have a Canon A720IS that is just a couple of months out of warranty. I noticed that recently the low battery indicator pops on much sooner than it used to. Even with fresh alkaline batteries the flash indicator just blinks and it refuses to take a shot in any flash mode (auto or on) unless the batteries are removed and reinserted a couple of times. The battery contacts are clean and the memory battery is >3 volts. The camera used to work with cheap & dirty NiCads down to well under 1.2 volts and now is fussy with anything under 1.35 or so.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

-   Over the past 6 weeks, my camera has been developing the same problem, until now it doesn't take a picture at all with fresh batteries. It simply shuts down. I have tried different types of batteries, all brand new or freshly charged, and my camera is now nothing more than a paper weight.

Any suggestions?

-   when using flash when I take a picture the orange light blinks and screen goes black. It takes awhile to turn back on so I can take the next picture.-   Guest

To resolve the annoying "change the batteries" problem. Goto menu, choose yellow menu, select
file No. reset to ON. Turn camera off and back on.

Voila fixed.
