Canon PowerShot A560: Lid to battery compartment broken

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 01:27:16 -0700

I love my Canon Powershot A560, especially as it has a viewfinder, as when sunny the screen is impossible to see.

However, the hinged cap that conceals the battery compartment has broken.

Can it be repaired?

Regards

Canon PowerShot A560: When I turn my camera on I do not have a picture in my screen.

Thu, 08 Aug 2019 06:15:07 -0700

When I turn my camera on I do not have a picture on my screen. Did I inadvertently change a setting? After I take a picture I can view it, so I know it is taking pictures.

Canon PowerShot A560: Lens opening/closing seems labored; need cleaning and/or lubrication?

Tue, 22 Aug 2017 19:39:56 -0700

On a Canon A560 I've owned since new, the opening and closing of the lens sounds louder, more labored, than when new. I'm fairly sure the camera hasn't been used enough to be worn out and it has been carefully treated so no dust, dirt or grit should have gotten in to create the problem. Is cleaning and/or lubrication likely the solution and if so, where can I find a procedure for getting into the lens mechanism and what lubricant, if any, is recommended? Any other suggestions would be appreciated too.

Canon PowerShot A560: Dark / Black Line Down the right side

Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:16:17 -0700

I have this camera. When taking pictures, there is a dark black line along the left side from the top to the bottom. It's not straight. When I zoom out it is thinner. When I zoom in , it gets thicker. The edge is blurred. This does not appear on playback of pictures taken with another camera nor during menu operations. It does show up on pictures I take with this camera. It's on the left edge.
