Canon Ixy Digital 400 Memory Card Error
Contents |
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 a Nikon D40X that I can also recommend. The day after Holly was born my Canon IXUS canon ixy digital camera manual 400 camera started giving a ‘Memory card error' and refused to save anything to the compact flash canon ixus memory card error 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 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 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 canon ixus 55 memory card error 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 first). Some tips if you are going to try this: Have a very small flat and cross head screwdriver. Make a note of where the screws came from, many are different lengths. Remember which order the body panels and parts came off. Don't attempt this if you are not confident in doing so, if you break your camera it is entirely your fault, and this will probably invalidate your warranty (mine had expired already). This whole experience has shaken my confidence in Canon cameras, I will be looking at alternative makes for my next purchase.

Canon used its experience with small film cameras, particularly the APS IXUS, to mass-produce good digital cameras smaller than anyone else had managed up to the time (the first Digital IXUS was the smallest 2MP then available[2]) and reused the popular IXUS/IXY/ELPH brand name with the tag line "The DIGITAL IXUS blends Canon's award-winning IXUS design with PowerShot digital technology."[3] The first Digital IXUS, released in June 2000 fitted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_DIGITAL_IXUS_400 the technology of the PowerShot S10 into a body similar to the APS IXUS II.[4] Between 2003 and 2004, starting with the Digital IXUS II, Canon moved from the use of CF cards to SD cards to create thinner cameras.

by MattSnap, Nov 12, 2007. Nov 12, 2007 #1 MattSnap Active Member Hi, was wondering if anyone in this Canon Corner could suggest why my IXUS 400 keeps giving me Memory Card Error warnings? Have http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/forums/threads/ixus-400-card-errors.51068/ tried several different CompactFlash cards, but the problem still happens. Thanks - Matt.

Nov 12, 2007 #3 MattSnap Active Member Thanks for http://www.lionebra.com/canon_powershot_s400_ixus_400_digital_camera/q1996667-memory_card_error_screen the reply Nigel. As it goes - I did some looking around on Google - and it seems a very common problem with the IXUS. Relatively simple fix too, by removing the internal battery for an hour or memory card so and then replacing it - hey presto - problem solved! Canon will charge £100 + P&P to sort this. Which is why I use Nikons!!!! Nov 12, 2007 #4 El_Sid Well-Known Member Must be some sort of firmware error then. You haven't accidentally opened the card slot while it was writing have you? That can sometimes cause bother... Taking the battery out does a complete sytem reset I suspect. Pain in the proverbial but cheaper than memory card error the 100 quid fix... Nov 13, 2007 #5 MattSnap Active Member Just in case anyone reads this, that might be intersted. Took the IXUS apart last night, removed the internal battery for an hour, replaced it, put the carmera together again - NO MORE ERRORS - Woo Hoo! Matt.
