Question about Canon PowerShot SD100 / IXUS II Digital Camera

1 Answer

Works sometimes other times not

Will work perfectly sometimes but will not take photos or video at other times - there is a black or distorted diplay when looking at a bright light source. The playback mode works all the time. Can you help?

After some homework, I am thinking perhaps the problem is the T-CON board? Do you think that is likely the problem?
Hello... No, it a Main board. If the T CON was the cause, all video would be affected, including the menus. This is not a guess... I work on TVs for a living, and have seen this symptom several times. It's always the Main board. I hope this helps!

Flaw on LCD monitor
This is normal. It may be distracting, but what it is is light. If you notice, it happens when there are bright spots, lights, reflections. These distortions will show up in video so try to avoid aiming at bright things while in video mode. Another type of flicker will happen mostly in florescent light.

Before CCD image sensors, video camera used tubes and aiming them at the sun or bright objects would burn the tubes permanently so cameras have come a long way, but by the nature of cameras being devices that record light, it is hard to eliminate that effect altogether (similar to red eye...just can't be a perfect science due to human nature of having blood vessels in the back of their eyes that when bright light is shined into them, their pupils open and the red color is reflected and shows up as red eye...this is best fixed in a photo editing program. It is hard to totally prevent, but changing angles and not shooting directly head on at subject helps). But I digress...

If it is really distracting for you, here is the one thing I found helpful; recompose the shot slightly by moving yourself, the camera, the angle (doesn't have to be dramatically different, but try to have the sun or light source behind the camera). As you move around, continue to push the shutter halfway down (each time not continuously) to bring subject into focus (getting your green box or boxes that indicate proper focus). Sometimes the lines will disappear if you change your shot even very slightly.

Hope this Helps!
