Question about Canon PowerShot A80 Digital Camera

1 Answer

Won't turn on

My A80 won't turn on. There is absolutely no reaction from the camera (like trying to turn it on with the the batteries out) despite the batteries being 100%. This happened during the warranty period and was fixed for no charge. Since then it worked for a year or so and has since done the same thing . Any suggestions as to what this might be and whether it is worth fixing. I do like the camera and think it takes better pictures than a lot of the other compacts around. Thanks...Bones

Get onto canon - this is a manufacturing fault. Tll them how long the cameras been operation since the repair- but dont mention the repair- you may get lucky.

Batteries run out fast
If the recharageable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and graduallythe charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The batteryshows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops offto zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptablecharge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

Check the contacts for the battery. They may be rusted / making poor contact. Did you leave a leaky battery in there for some time?

If you can get an Emory board or small file in there it might help to clean up the contacts. If clean, try bending the clips up to make a stronger contact with the battery.

I used to be able to download ppictures from my Canon Powershot A80 onto my computer with Vista O/S, using the cord that connects the camera to the computer's USB port. It doesn't work anymore.
Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


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.
