The Canon PowerShot A630 is a compact 8 megapixel digital camera. The camera, which has been tested to work with Windows 7, also contains a 4x digital zoom, allowing you to take pictures of smaller objects, such as plants. While the camera is designed with simplicity in mind, over time you may encounter trouble using it. Fortunately, many of the PowerShot A630's problems are user-correctable.
Instructions
1. Remove the batteries from your Canon Powershot A630 if your camera will not power on. Ensure that the battery contacts are not dirty or dusty, as that will prevent them from making the proper connection needed to operate the camera. If you notice dirt on the contacts, gently clean them using a dry cloth. Replace the batteries back into the Powershot A630 and power the camera on.
2. Wait before taking another picture if an orange LED light begins to flash near the top of the camera's viewfinder. During this period of time the PowerShot A630 is processing your previously taken images. Begin snapping photos when the orange LED light turns off.
3. Close the PowerShot A630's battery cover and power the camera off and back on again if you cannot get the lens to retract. It is likely that you opened the battery door while your camera was powered on, which causes the camera to lock the lens in position.
