" "
I have a Canon digital camera...occasionally my camera will stop taking pictures, I can take them manually or with the flash shut off. when I press the button, the flash symbol blinks on the display and the red light on the front comes on. The camera makes a noise but wont take a picture. Its a powershot A720 I think...

Same Problem

-   This just started happening recently. Whenever I try to take pictures with flash, the flash symbol flashes (and the red light goes on), but doesn't actually take a picture. Pictures take fine w/o the flash, but they are blurry (as usual). Fresh batteries don't fix this problem. Also, I have tried taking out the batteries, and turning off the camera and "resetting" it which only works for about 2 or 3 pictures before it is back to not working again. I have a Canon A720 IS. -   Guest

Check your battery level; try a fresh set. That may do the trick.
