S 570 WORKS ON VIDEO MODE, BUT DOES NOT WORK ON IMAGE MODE

The error e:61:10 signifies a stuck internal lens. Shut it off and tapping it on the side might work. If not you could have it repaired. In that case you may as well buy a new camera. Sorry.

This projector has a very short throw distance of approx. 7 1/2 feet to 9 1/2 feet. Anything over or under that distance will be out of focus.

1. Try cleaning the lens with a soft dry cloth. Do NOT blow on the lens first. 2. You could be experiencing camera shake - if you are in shutter mode and if your shutter speed is too slow for the light available you get a blurred image.

sounds like the operating mode is at a frequency or refresh rate that is outside the viewsonic operating specifications when in normal mode. possible solution: in safe mode access control panel, system, devices (hardware) and look for display. do a right click and uninstall. repeat right click and "scan for hardware changes". That might reset the monitor operating modes but it also gives you a chance to reinstall drivers. If this does not work, try other monitor crt/lcd to see what happens.

Need to install video drivers.
go to the make of your computer's website
click on support. find your computer and reinstall your video drivers.

The most common cause of this is a failed image sensor. Usually the playback mode will let you view pictures taken before the issue happened just fine and you will also be able to view the menu system just fine. When viewing the screen in an image taking mode, however, there is typically discolorations, horizontal or vertical lines, image bluring or distortions, or simply a black screen.

This situation, if caused by the image sensor, has to serviced and cannot be fixed by the user. If you are within your one year warranty and no user damage has been done to the camera, the camera will be fixed at no charge. If beyond the 12 month period however the customer may opt to have the unit repaired at a cost or take advantage of the Canon Loyalty Program and upgrade to refurbished S3 IS at an alternate discounted price.

Hope this helps.

ok see if the settings are correct if they are try the pic mode or mabey the camara lens is smuged or the inside lens maybe smuged, there should be a 1 800 number, or take it back and see if the new one works it could just be a product default

Try an external monitor if the same persists then its the original drivers for the monitor that needs  to be replace normally Windows should adjust automatically.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:

Applicable cameras include:
A40, A60, A70, A75, A80, A85, A95, A300, A310, S1 IS, S60, S200, S230, S330, S400, S410, S500, SD100, SD110

It's probably not a matter for adjustment, it's probably in need of electrical troubleshooting to find and replace defective components. It may be the CRT itself. One way they often fail is to show or lose one particular color more than another. These days a common 15" CRT monitor is probably not economical to repair by a brick-and-mortar service shop.
