I have the Canon Powershot SD1200 IS. the functions: Disp., Menu, Func. Set do not work. nothing happens when i press them. When I hit the play button it keeps going through all my photos very quickly. and the 2nd green light blinks quickly. Not one by one manually. It doesnt matter if the camera is on auto or camera. nothing works. On the digital screen on the botton left there is a symbol of a rounded triangle with an S and bottom right there is 9999 when i change it to manual on the upper left there is ISO and AUTO, bottom left a symbol that looks like brackets with a circle thing in the middle, a square, and that rounded triangle with an S. Bottom right there is a hand with parenthesis and 9999. Please help

It is sometimes necessary to set the time or change the time on a digital camera.Some of the features on the camera actually require that you have set the time and date.To do this , follow the following steps.
Firstly , Press the menu button
Use the sideways arrow buttons to go to the settings tab indicated with a hammer and a wrench.
Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll to Time and Date and then press the function set button.
Use the arrow buttons to select a area you would like to edit and use the up and down arrow buttons to select a time / date or value for a field.
Once done , press the function set button again and the time and date will be saved.

If you have the manual for this camera turn to page 15. This tells you how to switch between Shooting Mode and Playback Mode. This is achieved simply by pressing the DISP button. This button is located below and to the left of the FUNC/SET button. Pressing DISP repeatedly toggles between Shooting Mode and Playback Mode. I would suggest you try these steps with your Mode Switch in both positions alternately.
1. Press the [FUNC SET] button then the ^v buttons to select "L".2. Press the buttons to select the [time/date] option.3. Press the DISP button. 4. Finally, press [FUNC. SET] to disable and enable date stamp
The date stamp will only work when the camera's resolution is set to postcard mode. Press Func/set, scroll down to the bottom, then across to the icon with the clock and mountain. It will say "postcard". Press Func/set again. Then press Menu, scroll down to "Date stamp" and across to select date or date and time, then press menu again
while the video is playing, you can increase the volume by pressing the
button above the Func. Set center button and decrease the volume by
pressing the button below the Func. Set button. Think we both
accidentally turned the volume all the way down.
Too bad you can't tell this by going to the volume menu! Would have been
nice to know I was still recording audio while shooting video. Hope
this helps!
Reset the camera. Go to menu button, the arrow right to settings and tools, scroll all the way down to RESET settings. Hit Func/Set button to bring up reset option, arrow right to OK and hit Func/Set again to say yes. Camera should have picture again.....at least this is what we did to fix a camera that did that to us. good luck
It sounds like you may be in "Fast Frame Rate" video mode. Turn on the camera to video mode, then press right/left to select normal 640 pixel video. (Depending on the camera model, you may or may not have to press "Func" or "Func Set" first).
