ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A COMPUTER
If your photos and videos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos and to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

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

new generation cameras usually do not require a driver, it will directly show on my computer as camera found in vista, check your cable if you get error message usb device not recognised

You don't have to use a disk for it. The camera will automatically install the drivers required for it to be recognized by the computer. Once installed, you can access the contents of your camera by going to my computer and you will see there your camera. Just open it and it will display the pictures in the camera.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to buy one or two more cameras.

The A470 was not designed to stream images and videos to a computer, but to record them onto a memory card. It cannot be used as a webcam. Nor cannot it be connected to a computer to save images directly to your hard disk.

Canon's digital SLRs can store images directly to your computer using dedicated software, but they cannot be used as webcams.

So, if you want a webcam, you need to acquire one. Likewise, if you want to save images directly to your computer, you need a camera that can do that. Some webcams can record and store still images, but they tend to be rather low-res, often only 640x480 (0.3 megapixels). Even HD video is only 2 megapixels. Webcams and cameras are two completely different things.

Hi,
Came across this question as I was looking for the same answer. - My computer wouldn't see the camera at all & I'm unable to find the correct driver on the net.

I Installed the software from my wifes cannon ixus camera - & it Works fine now - at least as much as I need it to. downloading photo's & saving to the computer.

Try using a different USB cable. The connections between cameras and computers usually are problematic. A card reader will allow you to download the pictures from the SD card, without problems and saving your camera's battery power supply

go to the store to fix it

Hi,
just reconnect the cannon powershot and go to my computer then change the drive letter to something Else for the removable drive that belongs to cannon powershot. just try it

Get a USB flash card reader, and read directly from the memory card into your PC.
