Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera I used this camera to take movies. When I play it back on the camera and after downloading to my computer, it plays as if it's set for fast forward and there's no sound. How can I get to see it in regular speed with the sound? It's not my camera and the owner said that she's never used it for movies. They recently purchased an 8 GB memory card. Might that have something to do with it? I looked at manual online and a few things seemed suspicious. 1) Would Time lapse mode have anything to do with this? manual said there's no sound in this mode. I did not pick different options for movies when i used it -- I just pushed jigger down from photos to video. 2) would the memory card need to be formatted? 3) manual said something about needing QuickTime to play back movies 4) on p. 187 mention was made of slow recording memory cards 5) anything to do with NTSC or PAL???

Try a retailer near you to see if they will allow you to test your camera with a SD card from a display camera.

Good luck, I hope this helps!

It's a good bet that anything 4GB or greater is a SDHC card (look on the card, see if SDHC is written there). Your A530 was designed before the new SDHC format came out. Sorry, but your camera will not recognize this type of card. Recommend instead that you get a 2GB standard SD card. They're relatively inexpensive these days.

Depending on your OS, you can download the latest driver for your system directly from Canon here. Remember to select your OS in the dropdown tab to be able to see the available downloads.

But I'd also recommend that you take this as an opportunity to consider utilizing a much safer method of downloading your pictures and videos. Please see this link, as it describes the use of a USB card reader as a much easier, faster, and less error prone way to download your photos. Note that card readers are also VERY inexpensive these days (some places less than $2 online with shipping).

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...

Here are some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, or if repair costs close to the value of the camera, they're worth a try.
