I also have a 2GB memory card for the camera ('Secure Digital High Performance' and it also says foto source at the canon ixus 65 memory card maximum 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 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 param
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 memory card error card locked can also recommend. The day after Holly was born my Canon IXUS 400 camera started memory card locked how to unlock giving a ‘Memory card error' and refused to save anything to the compact flash card. I assumed that this meant that there canon ixus memory card locked 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 http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?22909-Memory-Card-Error-Card-Locked 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 https://blog.willj.net/2006/02/12/fixing-the-memory-card-error-on-the-canon-ixus-400s3/ 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 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 whic

Battery was low at time, but now, even with fuly charged battery it is no different. Can photos be retrieved with memory card reader? What are you supposed to do in future? Jul 19, 2005, 12:32 AM #22 GoUp Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 2 You can retrieve datas from cards - I took my old camera and retrive pictures from that one. I talk with supplier of my camera and they said that Kingston cards and canon S2 are not compatible. But as I read ths forum, you had also problems with other cards!? Which one is now good for Canon S2??? Jul 19, 2005, 11:02 AM #23 Otake Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 1 I have exactly same problem and same temprory solution (uploading via card reader and deleting all images). I am using Byte Store and ithas 1 GB capacity and this is my second card, i have tought the first one has a problem but after getting second one, I have encountered the same problem. Probably it is arising from Canon IS S2 itself, agreed. I didn't want to give camera back since I like it very much. Actually I am waiting a firmware update. Jul 20, 2005, 5:29 AM #24 Carrots Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2005 Posts: 377 I am about to order a Sandisk 512MB card (normal speed) for my S2. Anyone know if this will work from experience? Either that or a 1GB Ultra II, also Sandisk. Jul 22, 2005, 10:50 PM #25 kwanghui Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 1 I too have a canon S2 and the same memory problem. with a 1GB Kingston Elite Pro, the card sometimes gives a "memory card error" . The pictures can no longer be viewed on the camera. However, it is possible to put the sdcard into a USB memory card reader and download the photos into the computer. Once that is done I can reformat the card on the computer (using FAT not FAT32), then put it back in the camera and do a low-level format there. Everything works fine till the next 'memory card error". It is annoying. What is interesting is that I also have a 256M Kingston Elite Pro, as well as a regular speed 256M Kingston SD card. neither have given any problem. So I suspect the problem is with the 1GB card specifically. If you look at the other posts on the web, a lot of complaints are with the 1GB card, but
