20 Most Recent BenQ DC E41 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Hi there:Some symptoms of a defective CCD include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.A CCD problem would explain the lines on your pictures and the lines on the LCD (since the CCD is used to feed the live image). CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras.When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an analog-to-digital converter.In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details:Bad CCDs.

Hi there please follow the steps and let me know the result.
1. Ensure batteries are fully charged & clean the battery connector point in side the battery compartment.
2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for any sand, dirt or any damaged etc.
3. Try turning the camera with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck
4. Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 5 minutes and refit the battery only.
5. Now turn on camera( with out card ) and see ,if working then fix the memory card & again turn on the camera. If working then fine . Otherwise format the memory card and fix back in camera again & try. Make sure before format the memory card take a back up all photos in your computer then format. If no luck then reset or restore the camera setting by pressing Menu key for 2 sec .. in not done the press both Menu & self time key for 2 - 4 sec.
i hope it will gives you success.

1.) Format error means that the camera cannot read the card.
2.) It is quite likely that you will be able to recover the majority of your pictures with an image recovery program. There are many programs available but there is a list of freeware ones at the following page:-

3.) After recovering your pictures, or if you decide to discard them, you could 'Format' your memory card in the camera menus, or do it by right clicking the icon of the card in PC, to bring down the format options. Then format the card again in the camera, to ensure compatibility

All you need it to connect the USB cable that came with the camera, hook it up to the computer.

Sounds like you broke it. I doubt it can be economically repaired. Get a new one, and don't drop it.

Hi Beshoui, I believe your zoom lens is not extending when you power on. In most cases like this, there is likely a foreign body (sand) or similar objects lodged between the lens tubes or the camera has been subjected to a knock (dropped, bumped against a solid surface) that caused the lens tube to miss-align. All you need to do is: 1. as you switch on the camera, give a little knock/ tapping with your fingers around the lens. 2. if that fails, apply a little pressure to the sides of the lens ring while powering on your camera. Lets hope that will help to dislodge the foreign body or the lens tube miss-alignment.

Battery problem. Check state of charge or replace.

Please. When an electronic device is start acting strange, a software update is the worst thing you can try to solve the problem. Updates are only allowed if the system is working without an error. If it is not working correct, you can't be sure it will load the update correct and you never know what happens when the update is started. For every update there is a condition, the electronic needs to work perfect and the battery / power supply must be capable of delivering enough power during the whole update process. I'm sure there will be no update for the Benq camera.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Always when your camera acts strange, switch it off. Wait a few seconds, till you are sure it is not accessing the memory anymore. Then remove the battery (ies). If possible first charge the battery (ies) Than replace the battery and switch on the camera. If the error comes back, you have to assume something serious is going on. In which you should contact a service centre or repair shop.
