You might have a shutter issue.  While the problem could be your settings if you are shooting in manual mode or flash if shooting in auto, I suspect the problem is more serious. How did this camera used to perform in low light situations? 

How about trying to make some adjustments as a test?

  • If you are shooting with the flash, back away
  • The subject is overexposed against a dark background
  • Change the shooting angle to prevent light shining directly into the camera or being reflected off your subject.
  • Turn off the flash. 

Here is a link to the manual in PDF format, it will open in a new window. You want to look at manual page 73 (PDF page 75) in the Advanced Manual.

If you don't know how to turn the flash off, see manual page 13 (pdf page 15) of the Basic User Guide 

If you don't find relief of the issues, you can call Canon 1-800-652-2666  or email them using their online form.
