Hi Wolfy43
I have the Australian version (ixus750) of your camera.
DON'T try to force it open!!!
make sure you have the extra screw out from the button end, behind the grey cover 1 screw is visible from the outside there is another under the flexible cap. Once the end is off there is another screw with a bigger flatter head than the rest near where the flexible cover closes.
With all these screws plus ALL other visible screws out lightly twist the case.
The left end (from the back) should then come away a that end then gentle lift the back case off pulling from the left end.
there are 3 small clips that catch on the front 1/2 of the case.

Hope this helps

My question was about a battery door being stuck pertaining to a Canon PC1309 camera..no help offered here so far

Hi Norman,
I have not accessed the camera model you mentioned here but since you haven't seen an answer to your question, I will provide a general guide.
Many cameras are designed to place the buttery door at a joining point of the body pieces - usually 2 main pieces. If you can locate the tiny screws that secure the 2 x pieces together, it is possible to unscrew them and lever the body pieces apart with a gentle force to get the door open.

Need to download canon powershot SD550 camera manual

Canon has several User Manuals for the SD550, as well as manuals for their software, on the product site. See http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_sd_series/powershot_sd550#BrochuresAndManuals . (If needed click on Brochures and Manuals link; then expand the Guides and Manuals section.) The full titles aren't given. It just gives the Canon product name and then User (before hiding the rest). The first one with User in the title is the Basic guide. The second one is the Advanced Guide.

I hope this helps.

Seem like you PC don't recognised your camera. Have you install the camera driver ? the driver CD usually come with the camera package. If you already install the driver but you get this problem, re-install proper driver until complete/success to make your PC recognize your camera.

Hope this help and if this helpful RATE please.

My lens for my canon powershot SD550 is stuck open.when switching the camera power on E18 appears on the screen in the bottom left corner.

The E18 error is fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension.

Here are some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for about 40% of lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty they're worth a try.
