Canon Powershot Problem
I have a Canon Powershot A70. I used it for two years without problems. But
just since last week, my Canon Powershot A70 adds red horizontal lines to all recorded images. I reformatted the memory and reset the camera without success. Does Canon have an issue with their Powershot cameras that shows up roughly one to two years later, which is, of course, beyond the warranty period? So far, I was convinced that the Powershot is a neat, little camera. But if this model just lasts for roughly two years, I would consider this type of model rather expensive. Gregor |

Gregor That sounds like a sensor fault to me. Are the lines always in exactly the same place? |

Canon Powershot Problem
The lines are better noticeable around highlights or areas that are slightly
overexposed. They are aligned horizontally and appear as alternating lines of purple and pink color. It could suggest that the Bayer filter got slightly misaligned with the CCD. Maybe an aging effect with the A70. In a way, it looks like a color fringing effect. Gregor "Smudger" wrote in message ... "GTO" wrote in message om... I have a Canon Powershot A70.

Go to the Canon site. I believe there was a recall on some A series camera CCDs. Not sure if yours is included.

Canon A70 uses a Sony CCD with known fault, and has been listed by Canon as possibly faulty. The CCD problems mainly arises in high humidity. These lines may also come from faulty capacitors. I have experienced something similar once on my A70, and have heard of several others. -- Frode P. Bergsager |
