20 Most Recent Canon PowerShot A570 IS Digital Camera Questions & Answers

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

Cameras do not typically have fuses for protection as they have specific batteries that will not damage the pcboard in the camera. If any components were damaged you would probably need to have it replace.

Rosalie, try re-charging/replacing the battery. Although the lens comes out and retracts, the battery may be weak. good luck

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.

I'm afraid you are looking for a thing that is not in the camera. There are no fuses in a camera. Sometimes electronic equipment has a diode, to prevent damage by connecting the wrong way around (reversed battery or so) but a fuse in a camera? no!!

Take a look at your memory card. 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.

Hi

Firstly digital cameras are notoriously hard on batteries especially if you are using normal alkalines. NI-MH rechargeables are a much better option and usually provide around 300 shots before they require recharging as opposed to alkalines which can be as low as 40 to 60 shots.

The A570 is also known to have an overly sensitive low battery warning and gives this warning off well in advance of the battery fully loosing its charge. However it does also have a tendency to "eat" AA batteries.

Recommendation - if you are not already on rechargeable NI-MH batteries move over to using them and you will not regret it. Despite the initial outlay on buying the charger and rechargeable batteries themselves you will definitely end up saving in the long run.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

You may download the manual from here and print it yourself or have an office supply or printing shop print and bind it. If you really want the original manual you can contact Canon and request it, though I doubt they'd have one considering the age of the camera.
