Without memory card can i take any shots with canon ixus 105

Possibly data is corrupted - format card in the camera

Sit the camera in sunlight for few hours until its get warm and make sure the battery and memory card out and the doors must be open . After that insert the battery only and try to turn on and see the result.

It is possible the memory card is faulty, the only way to find out is replace the card.

Hi,
No... has no internal memory storage...

Having gone two months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Other causes include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link.

Look at your memory card. SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

You might want to 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, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use Canon ZoomBrowser or any other photo cataloging program.

The easiest way to delete all your pictures is to format it. If the pictures are in internal memory, format that. If they're on a memory card, format that.

Memory cards should be formatted each time you finish downloading the pictures from them.
