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 any photo cataloging program.

Look at your memory card. SD 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.

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. The card reader doesn't care what camera took the pictures, so you can use it with any camera (assuming the card itself fits).

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.

You should still be able to download the pictures by either putting the memory card in your computer's card reader (if you have one) or by plugging the camera into the computer by USB.

Once you do that Windows should pop up a message asking you if you want to import them. You can either do that or copy them manually in My Computer.

Alternatively you can get the drivers and software that came with the disc from:

You'll just need to select your OS version.

Please leave feedback if this was helpful.

To delete individual pictures, select the picture in playback mode then press the trash-can button (also marked FUNC).

To delete all pictures, your best bet is to format the card. FixYa is full of people asking how to salvage pictures from cards that haven't been formatted regularly. To format the card, press the MENU button. Use left/right to select Setup (wrench and hammer). Use up/down to select Format and press SET.

They all do, with a current version of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).

If the pricture was taken in low-light then it just will look grainy. If not then make sure you're zoomed all the way out (i.e. not using Digital zoom as opposed to Optical Zoom) and make sure the resolution settings on the camera Menu are set to the highest setting.

Hi you have a bad Sensor on your A95 and will need replacement. There is nothing you
can do to resolve this problem accept to replace your Sensor or replace your entire Lens Assembly w/CCD. You can also find parts online from places such as Ebay for A95 Sensor

Hi

Do you get a E18 in the bottom left on the camera screen before the Canon PowerShot A95 switches off?

If you do see this error code then the problem could be because dirt or sand has got into the lens mechanism.

Firstly you should contact your local Canon repair centre and Canon may fix it for free. If this fails you can try the suggestions below, but you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK as this could make the problem worse.

Make sure the batteries are new or if you are using rechargeable batteries they are fully charged.

a) Remove the batteries from the camera, and unplug any USB cable. Wait for 5 minutes, then put them back in and switch the camera on.

b) Try using compressed air with a fine tip. Use between the lens turret and the camera body and turn on the air while moving the tip around the lens. It should remove any dust or sand. Turn the camera on and see if operates correctly.

c) Another, slightly unusual method is to gently tap the padded USB cover part on a hard surface. Amazingly this does sometimes work.

d) Lastly, you can try and force the lens back into the camera. With the camera switched off place the camera on a surface with the lens facing up - look at the spacing between the lens and the lens housing. If it is not even all the way around the lens VERY VERY GENTLY press down the lens on the side where the gap is the biggest. Hopefully you should hear a reassuring "click" as it pops back into place. Try powering the camera back on.

If these suggestions do not work then you are looking at a professional repair.

Instead of shutter priority "Tv" mode, try setting to program "P" mode instead. Also, turn off the flash, and set to macro if shooting close-in (press downward on the little flower icon on the back disk). If pictures come out blurry, try using a tripod to hold the camera steady, or set the camera down on an object so it doesn't move while taking the shot. Try using the timer to activate the shutter to allow the camera to remain even steadier for the shot.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you found this helpful.

According to Canon, they say that your lens may have a problem. This problem is caused when you drop the device or bang it by accident. Please have it checked by Canon especially if it is still under warranty.
