Recently my Powershot A20 refused to shutdown either through the start stop button or via auto-shutdown - all other functions appeared OK. Tried cleaning the switch contacts with a rubber and removing batteries and CF card in case the firmware had got itself into a knot, but all to no avail. The problem righted itself soon after but it left me wondering whether there may be a hidden service menu eg. to effect a factory settings / firmware reset. Also wondering if it possible to update the firmware via the USB connection (don't actually know whether the firmware in this camera is stored in flash memory).

Regards,
John Kennedy

You can update the firmware via USB at the following website:

I don't know if it will help though.
