Why not look in the manual ? The answer to this, and many other queries, can be found therein.

I'm not familiar with this particular model, but usually it refers to preventing recorded images being accidentally deleted. AFAIK, it will be able to be turned on and off.

Follow the instructions in the manual.

If the manual say yes, then they can - otherwise probably not.

Lens error is usually caused by mechanical faults concerning lens assembly. The lens cannot extend or retract fully, the error is detected and lens error is returned.
Sometimes this can be fixed playing with the lens during extraction or retraction to help the lens asset getting back to normal.
More often the camera lens must be disassembled and re-assembled by a technician to fix the problem.

The following blog outlines some repair options for a lens error. They won't work for all cases, but they're worth a try if the camera's no longer under warranty:

It can be a damage sensor, a lens problem or a control board problem.

Ensure that it is not a setting problem, check that you did not set the light mode by mistake.

If it is less than one year old is covered with guaranty.

Contact Canon to validate the guaranty

press the "display" button while in picture mode, it should make normal.

Try resetting the camera. Go into the setup menu and find "reset".

Try a camera reset. Go into the setup menu and scroll to "reset" and follow the on-screen instructions.

To fix your issue with the Canon Powershot SX110 IS Digital Camera, try cleaning the lens. A huge issue with malfunctioning pictures can be as objective as a dirty lens. If that doesn't solve the issue, try to make sure that your flash is working to its full power. If you are taking a picture in a low-light area and the flash isn't giving off a strong enough light, this will cause grainy/noisy dark photos. Lastly, try playing around the with settings on the configuration screen. Sometimes digital cameras can malfunction, even after reformatting, and will apply alternate settings from what you originally had set.

Hope this helps!

Use the "Video system" command in the Setup-2 menu to switch the video output between NTSC and PAL. This is for playing back your still photos on a TV.If you're asking how to switch the 400D into video recording mode, the 400D doesn't record video. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way it is.

Hi. Take a look at the below link, it may be your solution. Canon Rebel xsi Err 05

The camera can display various different levels of information on the rear LCD screen and you can use the "Info" button to cycle through all the various options that the camera can display (I think it's roughly 4 different options and you just keep pressing info and it cycles through all the options ... looping back to the first option when you get to the end.) One of those options... is to display nothing at all. The screen will stay dark. But it should always come to life if you press the "menu" button (assuming the camera is actually on and not tethered to a computer). When I do astrophotography in a group, I don't want the light from my camera screen on... so I set it to the mode that turns off the display. Tap "info" and see if the LCD switches on (and just tap it several more times until it displays what you want.) It does something similar if you are reviewing an image. Normally it fills the frame with the image but you can press info several times and see the combined RGBL histogram, or you can display the histogram for each color channel independently, etc. If the display does not work EVEN if you press the "menu" button, then something else is wrong.

Recharge or replace the battery

I recommend the following steps: Start with a fully charged battery. To eliminate that it could possibly be the lens, do you have another AF lens you can attach? Is the AF/MF focus which turned on to AF on the lens? If that other lens works this is your answer. If the other lens also does not respond then it is a camera issue. Any error code displayed? On the back of the camera, right side to the display, look for the quarter round button labeled AF. Check/set the desired AF operation. (Press the left right keys or turn the dial to select the desired AF operation, then press the set button) Check your AE lock button as well. Lastly, if all fails revert to camera default settings (Select: the wrench symbol tab, select: clear all camera settings) If it still does not work it is possible that there is a defect.

If it will sort out a problem which you may have, good idea.

What advice does it give in the manual ?
