Canon recently announced that a small number of their Powershot A530 and A540 digital cameras may have an over heating problem. In case you own any of the above two camera, this is what you need to look out for:
- The bottom of the camera becomes extremely hot near the battery cover.
- Batteries that are loaded are depleted quickly.
- The number of shots that can be taken becomes extremely small.
Cameras with "21", "22", "23", "24", as the first two numbers from the left are reported as the ones that may be facing this problem.
The Powershot A530 and A540 cameras that face the above mentioned problem will be repaired free of charge by Canon.
