My camera is a Canon IXUS IS digital camera. Recently the pictures will appear in the screen to review but when downloaded to a computer will either not be able to open OR open with a film of green or red covering the picture. Then, sometimes the image on the camera screen will be smaller than it should even though the first review was perfect. A week later, the smaller one will be large until you try to view it after download. then it will remain large but be green or red. There is an entire variety of &^%$$%^&(&**&%^&%$%#$ that is occurring in what is normally a fantastic camera. I have read the book and wonder if it is a corruption thing. Please advise. Thanks. Maria.

i suggest you always format the card in your camera every time you release it and use in your pc. card may get infected with virus and may affect the performance. never format card in pc! Better save pictures in hdd or cd than in mem cards.

I tried different card and it worked.  I'm waiting to contact SanDisk to solve the problem.  Hate to lose all the pictures.  Thanks for your help.

Try removing the memory card and inserting it again.
Also, does the computer detect the camera properly?

Try formatting the memory card (or changing it). You probably have some bad sectors.

If this does not help, take the camera to a Canon dealer, it's probably a software problem
