Canon PowerShot G11 Digital Camera - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Have you really spent any time reading the owner's manual?

Once you have the camera turned on and ready to shoot, press the "FUNC SET" button (the middle button on the dial next to the screen). Then scroll the menu all the way down to the last option to the "Resolution" Option. Once in here, scroll right until you see the "RAW" option, and press the "FUNC SET" button once again to set it. When you next take a photo, it will save a copy in JPG and one in RAW format. Hope this helps!

The card may be corrupted and unusable. Try with a new SD Card. If that doesn't work, you need Canon Service. Try formatting it in the computer, add images and see if you can see the images in the camera.

If the batteries are the same age as the camera, they are probably worn out. Try replacing them.

What did the error prompts?

So the pics vanished from the memory card, right? Perhaps you can insert the card to your computer and try a photo recovery tool on it. Give this app a try if you're a Mac user. Recover Digital Photo Music and Video on Mac OS

Try doing a factory reset.

The wrist strap has a thin loop on one end. Thread this thin section (like threading a needle) through the strap hole. (It's on the left side of the camera. There are two openings with a bar over the top of the center of them at the bottom corner of the camera body.) Start threading from the middle of the body of the camera and push the strap towards the bottom of the unit. You may need to twist the loop to narrow it and keep it tight. Once you have this narrow loop through the camera, open up the loop and slide the thick material through the center of this thin loop. Pull the wrist strap until the thin loop tightens around the bar. This is shown on page 12 of the D30 manual. The manual is available from Canon support on the Powershot page: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/5/0300013985/02/psd30-cu2-en.pdf. The direct link to the manual is http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/5/0300013985/02/psd30-cu2-en.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells (Many lanyard straps for electronic gear work the same way. Threading the narrow section under that bar does require decent near point vision. People who are far-sighted may need to wear bifocals or ask someone younger to assist.)

Reduce the quality in the menu

Each attempt to do what ?

Get a card reader for your computer, if it doesn't already have one. The card will then appear as another hard drive, and you can transfer photos the same way you transfer any other kind of files. Using a card reader is also likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer/

Do you mean when playing video back on the camera? If so, when the video is playing, press on the top of the wheel, the part with the triangle pointing upwards (up-arrow). You should see the small volume level indicator get an increasing number of bars and the volume will increase.

Hi Charlie, Please provide additional info if you really want help in this site. Questions with sufficient information do get answered sooner than others so consider that. Otherwise, check answers to previous questions of similar nature and you might locate a suitable solution for your question.

I would start by changing the memory card.

Just go to the Canon web site for manual download.

This is an OLD camera that uses CF cards - the earliest type of card storage. I have provided a link to the manual for the camera - it is considered as Powershot S20 based on your PC1002 number. On page 21 of the manual (page 24 of the pdf) there is a table listing the compatible cards. Another Canon link (provided) states you can use CF Type 1 cards. https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=FAQ100296 http://www.wedophones.com/Manuals/CamerasAndCamcorders/Canon%20USA%20Canon%20PowerShot%20S20%2032MP%20Digital%20Camera%20w%20Manual.pdf
