Question about Canon PowerShot A80 Digital Camera

Redness in images

Hello You, Recently, all images from my camera are having a red color bar on top and all corners are red color (http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=canonpowershota80uz9.jpg). This color defect even shows up on the LCD screen. There is also a black spot that comes up sometimes (marked by red circle in image). If anyone know if this is a major issue or something ... please let me. Thanks in advance, Himanshu

Looks like the same problem with my A80... Canon accepted the unit under warranty/recall review to be sure. Cool support group.

Hello,
Open the menu of your Samsung phone. Click on the "Edit" button on left corner top corner of the screen.

As soon as you click on the edit button, you will see a red colored icon on the installed apps.

Click on the red remove icon on the installed apps to uninstall them. Once you are done uninstalling the apps, click "Done" on the top left corner of the screen.

That's it you are done with the process of uninstalling apps in Samsung phone.

I recently purchased a canon powershot sx20 15 and it is slow!

You need to do two things. 1. Take a Q-Tip dampened in rubbing alcohol and clean the battery contacts inside the compartment. Clean the battery and the charger also using the same method. 2. Go into your main menu and restore all factory defaults. You should be all set after these steps are taken. Thank you, Dana

Distorted color on image

You might have "color filter" settings. Turn the digital filters off. Here is what manual at p72 says. "You can take pictures using digital filters. The filters consist of color filters such as red, blue and green, a soft filter that produces a fuzzy effect. Color filters Eight colors, black-and-white, sepia, red, pink, violet, blue, green and yellow, are provided for the color filters. When you select a color filter in the Digital Filter mode, the display on the LCD monitor is filtered with the selected color, and the pictures are taken in that color."
