I have the same problem. Only records sound.

    Same problem with ZR50MC developed recently. Appears to be the widespread CCD image sensor failure with Canon devices. Canon includes ZR60 but not ZR50 in recall ending 12/31/10. I emailed Canon on cost to fix.

Have a Powershot S2 IS, and when turn camera on in record mode, there is no image appearing. No image appearing when looking thru view finder either. any ideas on issue?

this means there is a problem with your lens system. If Lens system seems ok then problem may be with the CCD/CMOS repairing which will be pretty costly and will need a expert hands to fix it.

Turn on camera..view finder and/or display screen

The s7000 has three different display modes: Screen, viewfinder, and off. Screen is for looking at the big screen, viewfinder is for looking through the digital viewfinder, and off should turn off all the displays. Try pressing the DISP button once. That should reactivate the screen and make it possible to use the camera again.

My camera screen is completely black...

most digital cameras have the option of either viewing either thru the large screen OR thru the regular old view finder. There should be a small button that will let you toggle between the two. Hope this helps!

dear kwilsey,
just turn on your camera and look at the front side of camera.i.e just note tat your lens shutter is opened. if lens shutter is opened then prob is with your ccd devices. Contact the nearest authorised service centers.

Blank view finder fe-190

try switching your camera on in a dark room (do it at night with the curtains closed and the lights off).

if the screen lights up (should still be black or a very dark green),
then the lens or light sensors might not be functioning correctly.

if the screen stays conpletely black, then the actual screen might be damaged.


note- you might need to let your eyes adjust to the darkness before you switch your camera on.

Camera mode recording/displaying right

what is the model number? if it's 10 years or older you are most likely dealing with bad surface mounted capacitors.

Nikon coolpix 5700

at the back of the camera next to the view finder (bottom right hand corner) is a button and icon marked SEL. pressing this button toggles the lens image from the view finder to the lcd screen and back again. IF neither view is available then I suspect your camera needs some TLC at a repair shop. hope this helps.
