Same Problem

Dec 07, 2008

-   Same issue. Runs good some days then on other days it will show a staticy flickering when shooting photos or video. Seems to me the only way to get it to work some times is by using the "Fonz" tap ("Happy Days") on the side of the camera.-   Guest

Your ccd is messed up, which can be replaced but is way expensive. You are better off getting a different, better camera. My one camera does the same thing and sometimes if you just play around with it and make sure the camera is clean inside and that you have a good tape and a charged battery then it ends up working, but still it has colored bar-type images appearing in brighter areas of the shot at times. Other times it just works on a good day then stops working the next. There really is no way to change this issue on your own unless you have a good warranty for the camera.

Hey guys...did you know that Canon actually put out a recall on this and will fix it for free if you contact them? They put it out several years ago but just fixed my this past month. (laziness on my part). They literally had it back to me within one week of me first contacting them.
