Shutter will not open on my digital camera.?
Posted on Jul 25, 2008 under Digital news and reports |I have a canon sd750 powershot series ( a point and shoot camera) and when the camera is turned on and the lens barrel is extended, the automatic lens cover refuses to open. it can be opened manually, but it immediately springs shut when let go. the camera still takes pictures of the closed shutter, and appears to have no other problems. What could be the problem?
And yes, the battery is fully charged.

Since it springs back then the part of the lens that opens it is broken. Then lens covers are very delicate, but usually reliable.
If it's still in warranty, let Canon deal with it. They can usually fix cameras in a couple weeks and have service centres in major cities.
If it's out of warranty, try a bit of 100% isopropyl alcohol (see your drug store) on a Q-Tip. Swap it around the lens cover gently and then gently force the cover open several times. The lens cover should be a little wet from the alcohol, but not so much that there are droplets or puddles. Have some kleenex ready just in case of a little spill. That should help to remove any dirt inside that might be affecting the cover.
If that doesn't work and it's out of warranty, then consider repairing it. They will charge you for an estimate ($40ish). Consider replacing it, particularly if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the replacement cost.
