I have a cannon EOS 400D and i am trying to download images on to my laptop. i have the the camera plug in to the usb socket and the camera is on play back and turned on

USB SOCKET IS FAULTY YOU CAN OPEN CAMERA AND REMOVE MAIN PCB AND SOLDER USB SOCKET CONNECTION

Your canon must be making multiple folders on the card and the computer is only reading the first one. Use a card reader to download your pictures.

hi

sorry to disappoint you but there is no setting to actually have the lcd to display the image like in other compact versions

LCD is only for settings and review

cheers

there should be a button on the camera that says "disp" this stands for display and when you hit that button you should see the image and if you hit it again it will go black again so you can control whether you want see it or not

Hi

There is software you can try, and I'm sure there are online businesses where you can send the card for help. Try doing a google search for 'image recovery' I found cardrecovery.com that has a free trial for their software.

Good luck.

If u had took photo in very low light, pictures will appear blur. Or if you use tele zoom, u need to use tripod to stablize. In normal conditions, you can turn on image stablizer.

Do you have a USB card reader? You can pick these up cheaply, and it is quicker and easier to take the memory card out of the canon and read it with the card reader.

Try installing or reinstalling the software on the CD ROM that came with the camera.

Hi
If you bought your camera (400D) new it would have come with RAW conversion software on a disk. You can start by installing this. To get the photos off the camera you should be able to plug it in vis the USB cable that came with it. The better way would be to buy a card reader. This is a lot quicker, save on battery wear and tear, or save you plugging in the power.

Alternative software would be to buy Adobe Photoshop Elements for the RAW processing. This is a good start for most people.

This camera does not require a driver on windows XP. The most common cause of USB related communication issues is the USB cord itself. Second most common cause is the USB port on the camera as they are easily damaged. You can fix the problem by buying a USB card reader instead of plugging the camera directly into your PC. If you use the camera's USB port it will eventually fail, they simply can not last through years of plugging and unplugging and the bumping around associated with use of the on board USB port. With the card reader you simply remove the memory card from the camera, plug it into the reader and then proceed to get your pictures. It is simple, reliable, and all around the best solution to this and all problems related to communicating with your camera over USB.
