I have a canon digital ixus i zoom but everytime i take a photo outside in the sun the photo is to bright?can you tell me what settings i need to go on ?

Check the information on exposure in the manual

There is no way you can delete the date stamp from the photos you have taken.
For future photos you can either correct the date or disable insertion of date stamp.

Go to settings and change the lens exposure time or just set a focus point for the picture on a darker spot to change the white balance

Its exposure problem you need to take canon service center and tell them to adjust exposure and shutter speed.

The optical zoom goes to 4x but then the camera shifts into digital zoom. Sounds like you need to increase your resolution (fewer pix/mem card or more megapixels per photo) in order to reduce the fuzziness. On the other hand, it could be a problem with you specific camera. If it is still under warranty, ask Canon if this is normal...it may be covered if it is a quality problem. Once you get into the digital zoom range, the quality of the pictures will decrease with any digital camera.

Make sure its not set on Macro thats the flower ( tulip) icon no zoom will be in focus on this setting for average or long range shots
please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

They are normal.

your camera is defective and needs to be sent in for repair. you could try changing the batteries

It sounds like the camera exposure system is out of whack and may need to be serviced. You may want to ensure that exposure compensation is set to 0. Check one of your overexposed images with the display in the 'Detailed Display' mode (two lines of information at the bottom of the LCD). If the second item on the top line is not ±0, the exposure compensation is not at its default value. To set, put the camera in M(anual) shooting mode. Press the Exposure/White Balance button until you see a scale along the bottom of the LCD from -2 to +2. Use the left or right button to set it at 0. If the value is already at 0, you will probably need service.

Shuter is dirty and do not open correctly, or doesnt close.
