After resetting to default settings, the shooting mode screen is black

try restoring your camera to the default settings, in most cameras theres a option for this in the menu, or there may be a reset button to press to get it to reset everything back to factory defaults.

lets see how the things are after this

If you are shooting in Auto mode with flash, this should solve your problem. Make sure you are not dictating any of the settings, i.e. choosing a longer shutter speed, a very small aperture setting, or a very low ISO (sensitivity) setting.

Typically the vibration warning icon will appear when the camera is trying to use a long shutter speed without flash in order to get the right exposure for a darker scene. Your outdoor (bright light) photos are probably OK.

In dim light with a point and shoot camera, you can have your choice between 1. blurry (using a relatively slow shutter speed), 2. dark (using a shorter shutter speed but no flash), or 3. a good photo with flash (which uses a medium shutter speed and added light from the flash)

Issue: How do I reset the camera to its default settings?
Solution: Procedure for resetting the camera to its default settings PowerShot SD750 and SD1000.

Resetting Settings to Their Default Values - PowerShot SD750 and SD1000. 1. Turn on the camera and press the <MENU> button to open the menu. 2. Using the button, highlight the yellow (Set up) tab. 3. Using the button, select [Reset All..] and press . 4. Select [OK] and press .

• Settings cannot be reset when the camera is connected to a computer or to a printer.
• The following cannot be reset:
• • Shooting mode
  • The [Date/Time], [Language] and [Video System] options in the (Set up) menu
  • White balance data recorded with the custom white balance function
  • Colors specified in the [Color Accent] or [Color Swap] modes of My Colors

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).

To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see the following for further info and a simple fix that may help:

I'm not sure if you are talking about the quick view of a picture just taken, or using playback mode to view shots taken. Either way, I suggest changing batteries so they are fresh.
There are 3 different LCD choices when in "Shooting Mode."
Press "DISP."
The display mode will change each time you press this button.
1- Standard (no info displayed, just pic)
2- Detailed (infor displayed)
3- Off
If you have tried this, then you may want to perform a reset to the cam. This will reset any screen/LCD settings that may have been changed.
Goto the Setup Menu and select "Reset All." Select "OK" and press "Func. Set."
This reset WILL NOT reset the following:
-Current Shooting Mode
-Date/Time, Language, & Video System settings
-White Balance Data (of you have custom settings changed in the custom white calance function)

If you shoot in the P mode setting and then go to the Menu and set the option for All Reset to OFF. The camera will retain those settings when powered off. If you are shooting in the AUTO mode the camera will always default back to the factory setting of OFF when the camera is powered off. The All Reset function is not able to be set in the AUTO mode because the camera is already using factory default settings.

The reset option is located when you hit the Menu button when in shooting mode - it is on the left hand side of the screen. You would click Reset and press Ok. It will show Reset Yes or No. Select Yes and press Ok. The camera will now be in factory default settings.

You are in Program mode most likely, with some sort of white balance setting that is not sunlight. Go into menu and try to change back to auto mode,or reset all or default. Sometimes removing the battery for 12 hours gets it back into default mode. the HQ is just the resolution that it is shooting in.

Hello, please try to reset the camera and check your settings according the user manual. If you need more info please advice. Arpi
