Today my Canon Pro1 refused to go into playback mode, then woldn't turn off. Finally had to remove the battery to get it off. anyone have this problem, this is the first time it has happened, I have used it since June. thanks
I'm about to return this pro1 to future shop thanks to buying the 3 year warranty!! Love this camera "when it works" but lately it turns off by itself after I shoot (with a full battery) and I have to take the battery out to turn it back on. Then it will turn itself off again after I shoot and obviously I have lost the photo. I have not seen anyone else's complaints like mine. Very very frusutrating!! My powershot is almost 2 years old. I found it odd that canon only kept it in inventory for a year before replacing this model.I'm about to return this pro1 to future shop thanks to buying the 3 year warranty!!

Did you switch to Tv (shutter mode) and took pictures for several seconds? like in the dark? Because saving the picture can take as long as the shutter time was.
Before panic. (Actually you never should panic) check your camera in automatic mode. And make sure you did not select any power save action, that puts your display on dark while shooting.
But always be sure your battery is charged and check its capacity. In the menu yo can check under the wrench symbol, when you select Battery info. Page 268 of the manual.
Working with a bad battery can damage the camera in the end.
Check the card to make sure the little tab on the upper left side is not in the down (lock) position. If not, look at the pictures in playback. If they show a key, then you will have to unlock them in the playback mode. there is an unlock option in the menu. You will have to unlock each one.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.
Ok, Guest @ solution #1 and #3 solved this for me.
Step 1. remove battery pack.
Step 2. Plug in to outlet.
Step 3. Insert desired disc.
Step 4. Toggle down on the "mode" lever for "Play-back" mode.
Step 5. Press "function"
Step 6. Scroll to and select "menu"
Step 7. Scroll to and select "disc options"
Step 8. Scroll to and select "Finalize"
Step 9. Scroll to and select "Yes"
Follow prompts from there.
This worked for me.
A new camera will fix problem perfectly. LOL
Did you drop it? Seem like there might be a short or something similar.
