IXUS 70 problem (LCD Screen is just black in shooting mode)

osia9745 · 21st of September 2008 (Sun)

Hi
I used a Canon IXUS 70 digital camera last Friday. when i was using this at a birthday party it was working fine the whole day but late afternoon once i switched on the camera the LCD screen was just only showing plain black and when i took photographs the photographs were also black.(The LCD screen was functioning properly on play back mode and i was able to go through the pictures with out any problem) I tried changing all the settings i removed the battery and the CF card and put them back in and tried but still it didn't work. After trying a lot of times i gave up but after a couple of hours when i switched it on it was working fine. I would be really grateful if some one can explain this strange behavior. Thank you.

Stuck shutter, maybe? Or the batteries were getting weak, and revived after the several hour rest?
