How do you get the camera to take pictures? I followed the instructions, but the camera doesn't do anything.

Once connected to you router you then must run the "iguard utility" to config the camera, after you go over the config, you can then ck it actually working by selecting "ActiveX" next to the open eye on the upper left... If you do not have an open eye next to the "ActiveX" then you have something wrong in the setup or your router... Depending on your brand router, you must go into the routers setup/config and identify the camera ip address and port you want to pass through the router...It will not work until you properly config your camera and router... Thoroughly read the pdf file on the cd to better understand the proper setup for your camera...

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

I got my camera to work! I have a powershot sd750 and it wouldn't power up at all. I tried tricks from other post such as ensuring the cover was closed, opening and removing the watch like battery, to no avail. I got mine to work by connecting the USB cord to my laptop, putting in the battery, and pressing play. It worked! And after that the camera turns on normally. Go figure

I have not had that problem - Have you tried pairing the camera? Choose "Pair" from the menu and use the tip of a pen or an extended paperclip in the small hole on the back of the camera - You have so many seconds to do this, be sure you pair within the allotted timeframe.

I had the same problem with a different camera. It turned out to be a bad USB cable. Try a different cable.

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which you can change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out, and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

All I can think of is you might need to try "rebooting". There is a tiny hole in the bottom of the camera (inside the place where you would screw in a tripod). Try sticking a paper clip in the tiny hole a push for about 5-10 seconds. Mine has frozen before and that resets it. Do that, then try hooking it back up to your computer.

Sorry... Try taking out camera AA batteries and using fresh, new ones.If it doesn't work, get a new SDHC memory card of a well-known maker (Sandisk or similar).If nothing of the above works on restarting your camera, you'll have to send your camera to Canon Authorized Service shop... Sorry.

The Camera on my Phone takes very clear Pics. The lack of a Manual / Operating Instructions is very frustrating. You may have purchased a "reconditioned " phone as some others seem to have. The Camera on your Phone should be producing clear Pictures !

Sorry no. Make sure you are inputting the proper login and password. If nothing works you might try to reset the camera "Server" to default and begin your setup again

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.
