Canon Powershot - Won't take a picture

belle_bottoms — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 01:56:05 GMT

Hello! I can turn on my Canon PowerShot S5IS and all the functions appear to be working fine.

However, when I try to click the big silver button to take a picture, nothing happens.

I have tried in other modes (manual, etc), and still nothing.

The button clicks when I push downward but the camera doesn't do anything.

Please help!! Thanks so much. 🙂

Hi Belle_bottoms,

Thanks for posting.

Please try this: Remove the batteries from the camera and close the battery compartment. Next, turn the power switch to the "Camera On" position and hold it there for 5 seconds, then release the power switch. Replace the batteries and turn the camera on.

If your camera works normally, you're ready to start shooting.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Technical Support Team. For contact options, please use this link: http://Canon.us/ContactCF
