Canon Powershot SX540 HS smart auto setting problem
2 months ago
Hello people,
First of all, a happy and healthy new year !!
I purchased me a broken Canon SX540 HS with display problems. It was not expensive at all, and i like to play with such kind of projects. I was hoping it would only be a faulthy screen. It was not. The puicture on the screen looks as if it is full over lighted, or, maybe without a IR filter.
In the mean time i found out what the problem is.
In AUTO setting it does not find the right settings. By coincidence i noticed that in Tv setting i am able to set the shutter in the correct time, and then it gives a nice picture.
OK, knowing this, i tought that maybe it is a softwareproblem and new firmware would bring me further. But......the camera has no possibility of firmware update. Worser, it doesn't even show me what firmware it has actual.
My question to the forum would be:
01. Is there anyone that can tell me how to find out what firmware my camera has.
02. Maybe there is someone that does have the firmware, and is willing send it to me.
03. Anyone from the forum that dealth with the same problem? Another type camera with the same problem would also give me maybe a clue.
04. All other tips are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
EXTRA INFORMATION.
This weekend i found out, that the picture on the SD card is fine, nothing to complain about. The probleem seems to be the playback mode from the SD CARD, and the pre-view from the lence. In the playback mode, when i switch from one photo to the next one, for 1/10 second the picture seems to look goed, and then fades to overlighted.
I wunder if a new display would do the job.
Broken flat cable.
Software problem?
Anybody has a clue??
