Can no longer take pictures with A85 the screen flashes all the time, is it worth repairing
Format the memory card and then insert in the camera. After that try to take photos. If not working then camera firmware fault. Go for repairing . Repair cost not more than 30$.
SOURCE: Digital zoom not working
Digital zoom is in the menu and must be turned on to activate it. When you use the zoom it takes 2 opperations to function. First opperation is to zoom all the way in then the camera should stop. This is the limit of the optical zoom. Then you let off the zoom button, and hit it again and then the digital zoom will start. Digital zoom is just a gimic if you learn how it works its not doing anything different then you can do in photoshop. All digital zoom is doing is like cropping.

CCD sensor fault : playback fine but no image in capture mode. Replace the sensor. Canon repairs thse faults free of charge but you need to find out what their policy is with A85. As I said this is a classic : I get + - 5 A85s every week with this particular fault.
SOURCE: In AUTO mode, pictures are all dark!
Yes you definitely can,
Turn on the camera.
The mode dial can be turned to any setting.
2. Press the button for longer than 5
seconds.
The message “Reset settings to default?” appears on the
LCD monitor.
3. Select [OK] using the left and right
buttons, then press the button.
The normal screen resumes when resetting is complete.
To cancel resetting, select [Cancel] instead of [OK].
