Canon Powershot A70 - screen suddenly went purple wiggles - new batteries - now shows nothing. Downloaded photos OK but new ones are just black.
Please??
PS Just reloaded with old rechargeables & the purple striations are back.
Tim, I think you're describing a very common problem associated with the A70...
Have a google on 'Canon A70 problems' or a variant of that, and you can read the full user reports - a lot of unhappy people.
Seems the camera lasts a year or two, then either the E18 fault (indicating a 'dropped' camera) appears, or the screen (purple/hazy purple) goes haywire, shortly before the camera pegs it. Is it under warranty?
Thank you. So sorry not to acknowledge that sooner -Â what with the camera & the freezer packing up, I've been going round in circles!
Warranty - sadly no! Pity - I like the camera!
Isn't it amazing what you can find on the net??
