Top 10 Canon PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH / IXUS 65 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

I had the same problem, tried different things but this is what worked.

I put the camera flat on its "back" (screen down, lens up). Looking down at the lens I could see that it was slightly off center. I pushed the lens towards the center and down, forcing it to close. Once it was centered I was able to turn it on and off no problem.

When you connect the camera to the pc there's a box with options for what you want to do. When I downloaded my photos and videos using the scanner and camera wizard it worked fine.

I have the same problem. How do you restart the camera. I have pulled the battery and SD card, but can't get to a menu screen to restart to camera.

I've had similar problems with various versions of this camera. Here's the fix, if all else fails. These are step-by-step instructions to take apart and fix the camera's lens error. http://johnsmouth.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/lens-error/

This is probably THE single most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

I would update your audio and video codecs in the computer. There's the source of the stuttering on playback.

Hi,
I'm sorry to tell that PowerShot SD 630 does not support SDHC cards over 2 gig.
If you want the camera to take a card over 2 gig then you are stuck standard SD cards.
The other camera does support the card because it's a higher model.


Regards.

the charger light detect the battery level charge, shows red when charging and green when fully charged.when the charger light is not lit,may be the battery dosnt hold any charge that means its likely that the battery is defective

The camera only stamps the date on the pictures when in postcard mode. When in any of the bigger image modes it won't deface your photos by scrawling a string of numbers across them. However the date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every image in its EXIF data. If you want this printed, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your photos. Depending on the program and printer, you may print this information on the image, in the margins, or on the back.
