I have a 2GB SD card in my IXUS 55, and recently the camera has refused to take to its full extent, often stopping when half-full and signalling "corrupted data" on the screen. Camera or card problem?
Thanks, "Guest", I did try this after consulting the manual, changing on to the "low" setting as recommended therein if it was suspected that the card was misbehaving. It would take a few minutes, it said. 15 minutes later, the thing was still only half-way along the little bar on the screen and I had to remove the card because I wanted to go to bed! I'm beginning to suspect a faulty card - or is this whole thing a sort of intelligence test, which I keep failing?Thanks, "Guest", I did try this after consulting the manual, changing on to the "low" setting as recommended therein if it was suspected that the card was misbehaving.

Make sure that the card is 2GB or smaller, the camera only supports SD not SDHC so it won't recognize a card larger then 2GB. If it's 2GB or smaller format it within the camera and then you should be good to go.
If the files themselves are actually corrupted, there is not a way to fix them-- if instead there was some sort of error with the transfer of information between the camera and computer, then this is something that you can troubleshoot. Your best bet would be to remove the SD card from the camera, (this is accessible from the door on the bottom of the camera) and use a regular SD card reader (something you can pick up at your local camera shop, or even at Walmart) to view the files on the card. This removes the camera from the equation, in the event that there is something wrong with it. If you attempt to transfer the files when using just a regular SD card reader, and the transfer fails or your computer indicates that the files are corrupted, then you may need to resort to either a professional data recovery service (which may be offered by a local camera shop), or you may just not be able to recover the files in their entirety.
switch to a sd card of less than 2gb as your camera's internal image processor power is being used in running or reading the huge 2gb sd card ...and that is the reason the image izz getting white ...try for 1gb or less ..
SDHC memory cards are relatively new, and are sadly compatible with only the newest model cameras. For your model camera, recommend a maximum 2GB standard SD card. Fortunately, these days a 2GB card is very inexpensive.
