Viewfinder image fades while taking pictures

I have a Powershot SX60HS.  While taking pictures my viewfinder image fades and the image recorded is faded.  I can turn off the camera and then turn it on again and the image is normal -no longer faded. It seems to happen when I shooting toward a light source -not directly at the light source.  This is new a occurrence--do you think there is a problem with the camera ( about 3 years old).  Any insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi SueL56,

 

Yes, that doesn't sound like anything that a change in settings would affect, but it may be a screen or internal connection issue. You can use the link below to submit the camera for repair:

Thank you.

Hi Mark,

I just went on the website you recommended but I just get an voice message that says this product is no longer being supported (PowerShot SX60HS).  Do you have any suggestions on how I can get my camera looked at?

Thanks,

Sue

Thank you, I  did find that Canon would repair my PowerShot SX60 HS.  I  have the receipt for my original PowerShot SX60HS (broken and could not be repaired).  The Canon Repair Center sold me a brand new one from overstock cameras they had for $89.97).  I just have my visa transaction for the camera only- will that be enough verification?

Thanks,

Sue
