I have downloaded direct from canon the software for this camera and when I try to dowload my pictures I go into Zoom browser - Acquire&Camera Settings - Connect to camera and everytime I get a samll window saying "Cannot detect camera Check connection to camera" I have uninstalled and re-installed many times and you can hear the camera being accepted by the computer but the same message comes up. Please can you help?
If you have a Vista, it is not compatible. It will not download the Zoom browser. I had to purchase a Memory card reader/writer to download pics on my laptop from my camera and by passing the printer.

about the cards their models must be not same that's why you don't get the soft copy of other pics on your computer ..or
For those of you with a Canon camera of the above models; there is a
firmware release that will make the autofocus work a bit better. Here are the links (a40,a30,a20,a10) http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/PSA40/PSA40_Adjustment-e.html http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/PSA30/PSA30_Adjustment-e.html http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/PSA20/PSA20_Adjustment-e.html http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/PSA10/PSA10_Adjustment-e.html
It mainly fixes the soft-focus problem with the second to last telephoto setting: In
case you haven't seen this problem, take an A40 and zoom to the
furthest optical setting (3x). Take a pcture; preferably something a
dozen meters away or so. Then just touch the button lightly to zoom back
one step (there are 7 zoom settings in total if I recall; maybe only
6); and take the same photo. When you compare these the soft setting of
the second photo should be apparent.
The firmware went smoothly for me and is fairly simple to do.
Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive.

thats also known as a powershot a40 - heres the support site for that camera http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=221&modelid=8288
if you goto the drivers and download tab - here you will find a manual - for zoom browser and the camera
You should be able to connect the camera to your computer with a supplied USB cable - and then the zoombrowser software should detect your camera connected and offer to transfer images
In the manual on Page 126/128 explains how to connect camera to PC
Also explains in the manual how to transfer the images.
If your PC has a memory card reader you can transfer that way - also explained in the manual
Camera direct to computer connections are notoriously problematic. (Lousy with bugs etc.) I avoid the problem entirely by using a card reader ($15-20) combined with Picasa3 (free software from Google). Remove card from camera and insert into card reader, connect to computer via USB and download images with Picasa3. Works great and is relatively cheap.
You can copy the photos to a temp directory, then have zoombrowser import the photos from that temp directory (instead of directly from the camera). This way you can utilize zoombrowser's naming function during the import.
Ouch. The ONLY "official" solution I could find was this: "If you have lost youroriginal Solution Disk, you can purchase a replacement by calling Canon Photo/Video Spare Parts."
