What type of memory card do I need for a Canon G2?
I need to buy a CF card for my Canon G2. I read that there are 2 types - type 1 and type 2. Which one do I need to get? Also is there a recommended brand and is there a limit to the memory size that will work (I read somewhere that above a certain amount of memory might not work on older digital cameras due to the different file system?). Ideally I would like to get a card at 4GB or above and no less than 1GB. Thanks for any advice.
Your camera users manual should show that is uses either Compact Flash (Type I or II).
Brand wise, as long as you buy locally, you will not get any of the fake cards that have been floating around the Internet, any will do.
Card speed: Since your camera is nearly eight years old, it does not support high speed cards, so you can save some money buying only cards that are 40x and 80x
Card size: You may find it difficult to find cards smaller than 2 gb, the sometimes cut off when it comes to card sizes cameras will use, however call Canon to find out for sure. I have one of the first Nikon D100's made and it uses 8 gb cards with no problems. 800.OK-CANON
Since the USB port on your camera is the old USB 1.0 (1.5Mbit/sec), you will find that spending under $10 for a USB 2.0 (480Mbit/sec) card reader will speed file copying to your computer much more efficient.
Like all Canon cameras, the S400 is known for high quality image and clarity. The camera uses a CF card for storing pictures, videos, etc. It is a compact and secure device for storing data. However, as with all electronic gadgets, they too run into trouble from time to time. Some problems that can result in corruption of memory cards could be interrupted read/write process, virus attacks, and human errors.. One is therefore always advised to take regular backups of critical data on some other storage media as well. However, if this is not done, or the copy of data backup is inaccessible, then you can always use a camera recovery to recover data from your memory card.
A common instance of this is when you try to take pictures using your Canon S400, you receive the below given error message on the LCD screen of your camera:
"Memory Card Error"
After the above error message appears, the camera refuses to click any more pictures and prompts you to re-format the memory card. All the previously stored data on the card is rendered inaccessible.
Cause:
The memory card or it's file system has been damaged. The main cause for such damages or corruptions is the interruption of the read-write process. Pulling the card out just after clicking photos, or switching off the camera while data is being written to or from the card, are two ways in which the process might have been interrupted.
Note: The first thing to do after such a problem is to stop using the card. If any data were to get written after such a problem, it would overwrite the earlier information.
Solution:
To resolve the above error message and to store new data, it is recommended that you format your memory card. If you format it on a Windows system, ensure to select the FAT file system while formatting it.
While formatting the card resolves the above issue, it also results in erasing all the data previously stored on the memory card. To recover all the formatted data, in case of no backup availability, you will need to use effective recovery software.
To do so, connect the formatted card to your system r and use the tool to perform camera data recovery. These software are easy- to-use and safely salvage data from the formatted CF card. It is recommended that the recovered data should be stored on another storage device.
Photo Recovery is a camera recovery software which recovers almost all the lost and formatted data from memory cards, Zip drives, USB flash drives, and hard drives. The software which works for both Windows and Mac systems, has an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface enabling even amateurs to recover files with utmost ease. It supports JPEG, BMP, GIF, RAW, etc. It also supports proprietary RAW formats of Canon i.e., CRW and CR2 files.
