Canon S2 IS busted after left in the cold?
I left my Canon S2 IS in a glove compartment for about 6 to 8 hours one day. I had brought the camera with me that day but did not use it and I forgot it in the glove compartment. When I remembered, I went out to the car, took the camera inside, removed the batteries, opened up the SD card slot and raised the flash. I left it in our furnace room for quite a few hours to warm up and hopefully dry out if there was any condensation. Our house is extremely dry.
When I went to use the camera yesterday, another cold day, I took it outside and shortly after I was outside I fired it up and I couldn't see anything in the viewfinder. I took a few photo's and a video and sure enough, they are all totally and completely pitch black. I am not sure what could be wrong. I wonder if it's the shutter or the CCD. There were no photo's on the card at the time, so I couldn't "play" them back to see if the LCD viewfinder and/or screen work ok to play back pics from a card. I have taken the batteries out again, including the tiny cr1220, I opened up all of the orifices and have it hanging in the furnace room where it is warm and dry.
Any clues? My S2 IS is, of course, just about 13 months old.. :p
