Re: Power shot A95
To get more pictures on the same card you will need to set the "resolution" & "compression" to a lower value. On a 32MB card if you can only take 12 pictures then the resolution is probably set to "Large" with compression "superfine". If you change the resolution to "small" with compression "normal" you could take around 330 pictures! However there is no such thing as a free lunch, the lower the resolution and compression the lower the "quality" of the pictures. So you need to think about what use the pictures are for. If they are of a wedding and you want best quality then you get fewer photos. If the quality is not so important then you can get more pictures.
You can see how to set these values on page 41 of the manual (link below):

Here is the table from page 147 showing the number of shots at different quality.
If you want more high quality pictures then you need to get a larger capacity card. As you can see with a 512MB card you can get nearly 200 high quality pictures.

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 ZoomBrowser or any other photo cataloging program.
A 32mb SD card doesn't have a large capacity - depending on the resolution (megapixels) of the camera, a different amount of pictures can be stored. Below is a link to a page that can help you determine what size is right for you.

A 32mb card isn't very big. If your camera takes pictures larger than 6mps, the card will fill up fast. Why not buy a larger card? You can set the picture quality to a lower setting in the menu of the camera, but if you capture that once in a lifetime shot and you want to print an enlargement, the quality will suffer. My advice...shoot in the highest quality and use a big card.
If you can see pictures that you have taken earlier (stored on your memory card), you may have a CCD problem. See this link for information on the problem and contact Canon if you think this is it.
Hello,

Canon has scheme to repair it free of cost. Click Canon Advisory to see details.
Bye.
This depends on the resolution of each image and the quality with which they are saved. An 800x600 jpeg image at quality 90 is approximately 128kb, so a 32mb card could hold about 256 of these. Another example, my nikon saves out a 3028x2002 image as a 2.5mb jpeg, so a 32mb card would barely hold 12 of these size images.
