Canon Elph LT manual needed

I picked up a Canon Elph LT camera (advantix film) at a garage sale. I am in
need of a manual for it or copies of one. Anyone out there have one?

It does not seem to shut off, in that I mean the date keeps blinking even
when it is closed and I was wondering if it is broken or if it is supposed
to do that? The number of pictures taken still shows in the top window, the
date blinks and the battery window indicator is still showing the battery
life. Just seems like this should all be shut off when I close the shutter
cover.

Also don't know how to set it up with time and date. There is also a title
button I can't figure out.

I am really hoping to use this camera, it is nice and small and I want to
carry it in my purse all the time.

Hope someone can help!

Sincerely,
Autumn

 

Autumn-

I have the Canon Elph Junior, but haven't used it in years and have no
idea where the manual is. I briefly explored the Canon web site to see if
they had a manual for yours, but didn't find one. Perhaps a Google search
for "Canon Elph LT manual" would turn up something.

Your description fits my Elph, which also has an always-on LCD display on
top, with six dashes flashing. Those dashes may be where the date and/or
Title would be entered if we knew how.

The picture of yours at the Canon web site is a little different from
mine. With mine, when a power button is pressed, the lens moves into
position with cover open, and moves back when the button is pressed again.

Thank you for the time and help. I heard back from Canon and they sent a
number so I can "order" a manual. I can't believe they don't offer a PDF
file of it on their web page. I checked out all the ELPH cameras thinking
they may be similar, but they did not have them for any of them. I have done
a pretty extensive search on line looking for one. This darn near free
camera is costing me money. Had to buy a battery for $8 and film of course.
Also wanting a case for it. Now I may need to buy the manual. Mine must be
the first one, as it has a fixed lens. Glad to hear about the LCD, as I was
taking out the battery. Doesn't make sense that it does not shut off
completely.

Thanks again

Autumn-

My Elph came with its own case. The camera is slightly larger than a
recent Canon SD-400 "Digital Elph", and won't fit into its custom case.
There may be another model Canon that has a case that would fit yours,
perhaps an SD-500.

Mine has a fixed-focal length lens (26mm f/2.8) but is auto-focus.

I agree about the LCD draining the battery, but it could take a few years
to run it down. I purchased a new battery for mine a couple of years ago,
even though I no longer use it.

Mine will flash the flash and make an exposure with no film in it. If
yours does the same, it is probably healthy and worth trying a roll of
film.

Mine has a switch on the rear to select P (panoramic), H (horizontal?) or
C (cropped?) image format. In fact, all three settings take the same
panoramic picture. Each frame of the film is magnetically tagged with the
selected format so it gets printed the "right" way. If you change your
mind, you can get a picture reprinted in one of the other formats.
