To troubleshoot if the Canon IXUS V camera is not turning on, you can follow these steps: 1. Check the battery: Ensure that the battery is fully charged and properly inserted into the camera.

If you are experiencing blurry images when shooting with the Canon IXUS V camera, you can try the following steps to improve the image quality: 1. Avoid camera movement: Make sure to hold the camera steady when pressing the shutter button. Camera movement can result in blurry images.

This can interfere with the camera's ability to focus properly. 3. Maintain proper distance: Ensure that there is at least 57 cm (1.9 ft.) between the camera lens and the subject.

If you have followed these steps and are still experiencing blurry images, it is recommended to contact Canon Customer Support Help Desk for further assistance.
