INTRODUCTION
A stuck shutter is a common failure mode for digital cameras. The camera may take black pictures
(for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be bright and overexposed, especially when taken (for
shutter stuck open).

Step 1 — Shutter
Put the camera in any mode other
than Auto, and turn off the flash.
Turn off the LCD screen and
press the DISP or DISPLAY
button.
Step 2 — Adjust the Camera Setting
For many canon cameras this will be
shutter priority mode, that will give
you the longest exposure time
without flash.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Step 3 — Open/Close the Battery Door
After a few seconds open the battery
door then close it again. This will
momentarily interrupt power during
the exposure time.
Repeat the procedure until the
shutter becomes unstuck.
