Canon Ixus Memory Card Locked
Memory Card Error - Card Locked Hello, I have a Canon PowerShot SD450 Digital Elph. I also have a 2GB memory card for the camera ('Secure Digital High Performance' and it also says foto source at the bottom of the label). On the weekend I took the card out because I forgot what brand it was. When I put the card back in I recieved the message "Memory Card Error" and "Card Locked" underneath memory card error canon it. Can't do anything on the camera. I've looked around on the internet and was told it's possible to recover the lost images before trying to format it to use the card again. I'm also using Windows 2000 Professional and a Core Micro USB card reader. When I use the card reader on my computer, it doesn't recognize the SD card that is in the reader. When I go to properties, it says 0 bytes. I thought I would try recovering anyways. I downloaded PhotoRescue software (trial version). First I tried selecting 'Logical Drive' for the options before trying to recover. It doesn't work, and asks for the drives information. So I entered 2GB as the card size, and 32k as the cluster size (looked it up on the internet). Once the program starts I just get all "READ ERROR AT..." errors followed by "The parameter is incorrect." Okay, so that method doesn't work. Next I try selecting the option of 'Physical Drive'... when I click the radio button for physical drive the program thinks for a moment then it displays "Drive 2 (1MB)" to select. Doesn't seem right, but I gave it a shot anyways. Again manually entered the memory card size and cluster size. After I start the recovery I of course get more errors. This time it
IXUS 95, it's pretty close to the IXUS 400, but much better. If you're looking to move up to a digital SLR camera I've since got memory card locked canon a Nikon D40X that I can also recommend. The day after Holly was memory card error on camera born my Canon IXUS 400 camera started giving a ‘Memory card error' and refused to save anything to the compact flash memory card lock broken card. I assumed that this meant that there was an error with the memory card so I bought a brand new one and was slightly cheesed off when the IXUS gave the same ‘Memory http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?22909-Memory-Card-Error-Card-Locked card error' message after installing it. A bit of googling revealed that a number of people have had this error with the Canon IXUS s3 and that the problem was solved by opening the case and removing the internal battery. The specs of the IXUS 400 are similar to that of the S3 and the chassis are practically identical, so I guessed they may well share a fair https://blog.willj.net/2006/02/12/fixing-the-memory-card-error-on-the-canon-ixus-400s3/ few components, and therefore problems. I was not that keen on the idea of doing this however until I discovered that Canon wanted to charge me nearly £100 to fix it (including the cost of postage). It seems a bit cheeky asking for that amount of money to fix a problem that is effectively a design flaw, so I went for the DIY option and it seems to have worked, I have only taken about 20 photos, but as the camera would not allow any to be taken before, this is a significant improvement! For anyone wanting to do the same here are some photos of what to look for. This one is the back of the camera with the case taken off. And this one is of the front of the camera. The battery is under the circled bit of metal film which was stuck down and had to be peeled off to get to the battery which is mounted in a clip just underneath. The battery popped out really easily with a small flat screwdriver. I put the battery back in, put the camera back together and the camera worked (I had to format the memory card

Thanks rikClick to expand... it could be the memory card is to big, quite a lot memory card error of compact cameras only take 1 or 2gb memory cards, although this may have changed since i had one, it might be worth checking the manual to see if it tells you the maximum memory card size your camera takes.

The card had the SDHC logo on it, Canon support are unsure whether the Ixus 65 can except 4gb memory, they say its either a faulty card or too large. I agreed the card is probably fine so I'm sending it back to exchange for a 2gb card which Canon say should work fine. Gutted as I was hoping for loads of capacity on 4gb although I'm sure 2gb will be more than enough.

Put the card back in and received that error - It's a new and original SanDisk ultra 8GB card. Now I'm 99.9% sure it's not the card's fault as it reads perfectly on my computer. It's not locked either (that tiny little switch on the card's left hand side). I have a few other spare cards and non of them work in the camera. Still receiving the same error message....- I've also removed the battery for several hours (thinking no power may reset any error), but that isn't helping either.- Nothing "appears" wrong with the shutter which closes the battery/memory card compartment. Nothing appears stuck inside the memory card slot.Is there anything else I could possibly try?Help?
