Good Day, my Canon Powershot A470 maybe had a bad problem, because every time i took a shot the image appears white. You cannot see anything to it. what should i do. please help me. Thank you!

If the images are on the memory card OK then it's a screen problem Either a connection problem or a broken screen.

This sounds like there is a problem with your camera's shutter mechanism and won't be resolved by changing your settings. You'll have to get your unit serviced by an authorized Canon service center. Hope this helps!

i have the same problem here. had it first in 2009 just about 8 months after purchase but had it fixed under warranty. It took them about 4 months to return my cam. they still have to send it to malaysia( im from philippines).

Now, 2 years later, it's back to the old problem. probably this has to do with the model considering that i saw lots of similar complaints

Hi would you tell me how kind of white image? First of all, can you see menu list on back of LCD? If yes, then you have shutter unit or ccd unit defective. Please let me know more and detail. Thanks and best regard!

my canon Power shot A470 gives fade white photos but the movie is good it's normal what can i do for pictures.

The shutter flex cable inside the lens is broken. Happens to all cameras from Canon A4xx series. At day the images will be overexposed with horizontal lines on it, but it could look better at dark / night. The FLEX has to be replaced. Canon doesn't supply new flex cables for these, but there are some cheap copies on ebay. But as these brake very often, I wouldn't suggest you investing money in this camera, because it will brake again sooner or later.

This sounds like a stuck shutter, with the shutter stuck open. See this link, trying Fix #5A. If Fix 5A does not work, your camera is then likely experiencing a broken ribbon cable to the shutter control. Unfortunately, repairing that cable would be more costly than the value of the camera. Also, repairing the cable yourself is not recommended as finding a replacement cable would be just as costly, and the actual repair is very difficult.

When I take a photo from Canon A470 the horizontal lines are appear in all over the picture pl. give me the solution
