I recently bought my Canon Powershot SD1400 IS camera and it works perfectly but today I shook the camera and head a small rattle sound. So far, my research online says that it might be the orientation sensor and if so it is nothing to be concerned about. But I want to be safe and ask the question here since I didn't really get a direct answer anywhere else. Thanks!

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge.
The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Well make sure you focus the camera and without leaving the shutter buton click it.Dont let the camera re focus. Also View the the image from the view finder ( digital).If not reset the camera.

canon powershot sd1400 wont turn on and its not the lens

Go online and search that would most likely help

Yea, i got mine today. So press your Menu button and you'll see two lists on the screen. It'll automatically be on the camera one but switch over to the wrench and the hammer one. Now scroll down until your at the option Format and it should say at the bottom of the screen (deletes all pictures off memory card) or something to the effect. And ur good to go! Hope this helps

You need to go to the menu screen, scroll over to the tools option, scroll down to format and format the memory card. I just had this same problem and this is what worked for us!

"It can take very clear and vibrant pictures, and it lives up to the high expectation that the IXUS/Powershot brand has forged over the years, particularly for premium models such as this one. However, its button design and build quality are from perfect and can make the camera frustrating to use. Nevertheless, if you want a very small camera that can capture great images, it's hard to overlook the Canon IXUS 130 IS/PowerShot SD1400 IS."

Check your settings in the menus. If you've muted the camera to remove the other sounds, it will mute the video soundtrack as well.

Having received no response in over a month, I assume this is no longer a problem.

If you have another USB port, try it. You can easily solve your problem by getting a card reader...they always work.
