Canon powershot sx500 shooting video at a concert. The audio is overmodulating

Hello I have been using the Powershot sx500. Love it for stills. Tried shooting video at a concert. The audio was overmodulating. Can the volume on the camera be lowered? What do you suggest?
Thank you

Hi dawnbelotti!
Thank you for posting. The PowerShot SX500 IS is a great camera for still shooting and most video shooting conditions that do not involve very high volume levels. However, you may not get the greatest audio quality when recording a concert, which can have high volume levels. There is not an adjustment setting in the camera for the input level of the microphone on the camera, so it is difficult to compensate for such a high volume level.

Powershot SX500 line on display

My Canon PowerShot SX500 IS suddenly had a single vertical line on the left side of the display screen. I was dissappointed to see that the line carried over into my images when I downloaded them to my Mac. Any ideas? I hope the camera isn't shot! I know it wasn't terribly expensive, but I had my old point and click Olympus for 10+ years (including crazy college years) and this camera is barely a year old!

SledDiva,
There was another camera model that had the same issue and it turned out that the person was using the camera in very high humidity places. Just wondering where you are using the camera.
I don't think that camera can shoot in RAW so that we could test the image processor. It could be the Digic processor or the sensor, or some corrosion on the terminals of either. It may need to be looked at by Canon repair. Since the images have the line in them, we can rule out problems with the display on the back of the camera. I don't suppose there is anything on/in the lens that could be causing the issue.
Does this happen when changing modes? Try shooting in a different mode such as P, Tv, Av, or M to see if the results are the same. If so, then I would see about sending it in for repair.

Canon Powershot A75 no longer recognised by iPhoto after 7.1.3 (364) update

We have been importing photos from our Canon Powershot A75 to our iMac G5 (now running Leopard 10.5.2) for some time.
This morning an auto update for iPhoto was applied, taking iPhoto to 7.1.3 (364).
Now iPhoto won't recognise our camera at all. I've tried different USB ports. Made sure it is in photo playback mode. No joy.
Any suggestions?

You might try reapplying the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can no longer play video from Canon PowerShot with QT Pro

Don't know what's changed. I have played these videos many times before. They were taken by my son who is active duty Navy overseas, so they are important to me. The "Movie Info" from QT says the format is: 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz/MJPG, 320 x 240, Millions. QT "Movie Properties" list MVI_0025.mov, but the Audio Settings and Presentation choices are greyed out. The Video Trach is shown as MJPG as you would expect. I can't "save as" or "export" so re-encoding is out. I'm at a loss here. Why they played before and not now is beyond me. They were added to my Hard Drive via Iomega's Floppy plus 7-in-1 card reader. The actual video was taken with a Canon PowerShot A510 and recorded to a SanDisk 512MB SD Card which I copied to my hard drive through the card reader with no problems. My G4 runs great with no problems. These videos were added to two logins which both fail to play now. Sound is fine. Anyone have any ideas how this could have happened or what to do?

QuickTimeKirk,
Fortunately I can boot to OS9.2. The problem is that the OS goes so far back in time that I'm not sure I could figure out where to install a codec that would work. And I'm afraid the bigger problem is, where would I download the right codec? (In OS9 that would be a QuickTime plug-in, right?) I tried Classic, using QuickTime 5.0.2. No good. I get the standard message "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." I guess when I saw MJPG I was really thinking MJPEG and couldn't se why it wouldn't work. I see now that these are very different codecs. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I did some digging and I believe the codec needed came with QuickTime 2.5. Also, if it makes any difference, I neglected to say that I use Flip4Mac WMV. I don't see how that would adversely effect a video file with a MJPG format but I thought I should mention it. Thanks for responding!

Canon Powershot S90, Places no longer working?

Hi, my wife and I recently went on a trip to Seattle and Alaska, and before we left we picked up a Canon Powershot S90. The pictures we were taking in Seattle were great, and the Places stuff in iPhoto was working great. Somewhere between one side of Seattle and the other, all the gps/Places info stopped being saved to the pictures, and we got no more Places information for the rest of the trip
Can someone please help?

Sounds like a camera setting or hardware issue - not an iPhoto issue - suggest reading the manual for the camera and/or use the Canon support forum
iPhoto takes properly formed EXIT location data and displays it - the camera is the source of the information

Iv'e upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now microsoft office 2004 and my canon powershot camera software will not work. any suggestions?

I just upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8. Now my Microsoft office applications,(word, excel, ppt) and my camera software to transfer picts from my camera will not launch. (Separate apps but all stopped working as soon as I upgraded from 10.5.8). The software for the Canon Powershot is Ver.37.2. Image browser 6.2 EOS utility 1.1. Any help would be appreciated.
Also if you could tell me what happens to the individual jpegs that get imported through iPhoto, I would go back to using that instead of the Canon software. I want to be able to go into a folder and see all the jpegs and not have to rely on iPhoto's one enormous file. What happens if that iPhoto file gets corrupt? Thanks, Leesha

Actually, Microsoft Office 2004 works fine with Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x. However, it does require Rosetta, Apple's app for Classic apps. In your upgrade from Lepoard 10.5.8, Rosetta may not have installed but you can manually install it with the instructions here.
On another note, when upgrading the OS, some anomalies get resolved by repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
One more note, there was an issue with Rosetta crashing with OS 10.6.8 in February 2012. Apple released a security update that fixed it. You can see if Software Update (launch from the Apple menu) shows it or manually download Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 and install it. Software Update will also show other applicable apps available for updating for your upgraded system.
Rosetta is no longer available with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. Then you will need to upgrade MS Office 2011 for Mac.

Plugin for Canon PowerShot G 15 camera.

I just bought a Canon PowerShot G15 camera. Shot over 100 pictures in Raw to test out the camera. I used the Canon disk to install their software and followed their instructions. I then downloaded the latest updates from Adobe only to discover that the company has not gotten around to supporting this camera. I have owned Photoshop since Version 7 days, gone through several SLRs and PowerShot G series cameras and have never experienced this kind of omission. Can anyone tell me what is going on and when will I be able to get a plugin to convert my Raw files?

Thanks Mollysnoot!
A thoughtful response.. I already have over three thousand G15 images and DPP is a dinosaur to use. I purchased it four weeks ago and in the past I haven't had to wait this long as an early adopter of new gear. Canon doesn't have a lens profile yet either. About the last thing a person wants to do is buy the latest technology and then find out it's still in the almost ready phase... It's kinda like buying a new car and then finding out that if you turn on the headlights, the stereo stops working. But as soon as Delco Remy gets off it's A$$, it'll be fixed. Until then, suck it up and don't turn on your lights...

IPhoto / Image Capture doesn't find Canon Powershot Camera

Since I upgraded to Lion, my Macbook no longer sees my Canon Powershot SD 1200IS camera. Tried using iPhoto and Image Capture (following someone else's suggestion). No SD slot on my Macbook. Is there another solution?

Canon Speedlite 430 EX ii slave for Canon Powershot SX 60 HS, How ?

Without purchasing any wirelss flash transmitter Can I use my Speedlite 430 EX ii as a slave external flash to work remotely ?
My target is I do not want to attach the flash unit directly into the hotshoe of camera but it should work remotely, How ?
Is it possible with Canon Powershot SX 60 HS ?
Details instruction needed. I tried to set the flash Channel 1, Slave A. But while shooting only pop up flash working not the external flash.
Camera ---------> Flash unit seperated-----> while shooting it must work, How possible ?

Metal wrote:
Yes I checked my SX60 HS no seperate menu for controlling external flash only little thing like red eye correction. I clicked zoom button of 430ex ii to set the flash as slave but my camera pop up flash doesn't trigger remotely. I am really sad a premium range bridge camera with a multihotshoe camera doesn't have this function built in. Can any expert check the matter in more details if I am not doing it in proper way/method pls.
Ok about 3rd party device like yongnuo YN622 wireless ETTL flash trigger receiver transmitter transceiver woyld work? How to be sure before purchasing?
Yes, the YN622C transceivers should work. I used the YN-622C's with my G1x and they performed well. These transceivers fool the camera into thinking the flash is actually attached to the camera when it is not.
The basic optical slave in the link above will not work for two reasons.
1) Your camera has an ETTL flash and the ETTL preflash will cause the slave to trigger at the wrong time.
2) The Canon 430EX II has some circuitry that is incompatible with these types of optical triggers. They will fire once and then the flash will no longer respond.

Fundamental importing problems with Canon PowerShot

when i connect my camera, a Canon PowerShot SD300 [digital elph] to my new MacBook Pro and turn the camera on, it opens iPhoto [6.0.6] and asks if i would like to import photos. i click "import," and tell it not to import duplicates. it tells me the count remaining and says its importing. i can wait any length of time and the number never goes down.
it has sort of successfully imported photos in the past [hence the 'do not import previous' above], but it seems to skip some photos and also downloads the same movies [avi's] each time.
is this bizarre behavior common? thanks for any help!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)

Dan,
There is a problem with iPhoto 6 not respecting the "do not import duplicates" when importing directly from cameras. It obeys better when importing from a folder already on your hard drive.
iPhoto can also balk at longer video clips. I can import shorter clips (under 1 minute) directly into iPhoto, but have had iPhoto crash with long (3 minutes or more) clips.
Here's how I import from my Canon. I place the card in a USB card reader. This mounts on the Desktop as an external drive. [Many cameras do this, but most Canon models do not.] When I plug the card reader into my USB hub, I ignore iPhoto's "ready to import" dialog. Instead, I do File > Import to Library. I navigate to my camera card on the desktop, where I can preview the photos and select only the ones I need to import. I import all the pictures first. When they are in my library, I go back and select the video clips, one at a time. It can take a few minutes to import one, and there is no progress indicator, so I have to wait patiently.
If iPhoto crashes on the video clips, I open Image Capture, choose "Download Some" and select one clip at a time to upload to my Desktop. Given enough time, the clips will import successfully. Once on the Desktop, iPhoto has not had any trouble importing them.
If you don't have a card reader, you can use Image Capture to import all the files from your camera. Upload to a folder on your Desktop, then import that folder to iPhoto and delete it when done. In Image Capture's Preferences is the setting for what happens when you connect your camera or card reader. You can leave it set to iPhoto, change it to Image Capture, or set it to Nothing.
If you have had to cancel an import, then there may be an extra folder inside your iPhoto Library folder. In the Finder look just inside Pictures/ iPhoto Library and see if there is a folder called "Import" (or "Importing"). If there is, drag it out to your Desktop and see if it contains photos that you need for your library. Make no other changes inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as changes made this way can damage your library. If there is no Import folder, then you are in good shape.
Regards.

Anybody use a camera harness for the Canon PowerShot S X 40?

Love the camera. I need a harness to keep it handy on hikes & when cross country skiing.

You didn't mention what cameras you tried and were dissapointed with, but since you mention that you may go with a better setup later this year, you can buy a used SD890 IS at http://www.keh.com/camera/Canon-Digital-Point-and-Shoots/1/sku-DC059991017580?r=FE. If that link doesn't work, then try http://www.keh.com/Camera/format-Digital/system-Canon-Digital/category-Point-and-Shoots?s=1&bcode=DC... for the main website. As far as the new Canon PowerShot ELPH cameras, I think the ELPH 330 HS might be the new equivalent of your camera with a few upgrades, such as a longer zoom range. All the new ELPH cameras lack the optical viewfinders, but some now include wifi.
The S110 is an excellent compact camera but is replaced by the S120. But since it is the 'older" model, the price is about $150.00 less. Small and lightweight, it has a larger sensor than the ELPH cameras and full manual control for getting more out of the camera. It lists for about $300.00, but you should be able to find them for less on the internet.

Lens error message on a Powershot SX500 IS....HELP

lens wont work need a way to reboot

Hi Johnfaris,
I am sorry to hear about the error message on your PowerShot SX500 IS.
This error indicates an internal error has occurred. Sometimes this can happen if the battery runs very low while the camera attempts to power off. Please try using an alternate or fully charged battery in the camera to make sure this was not the cause. If the battery is fully charged, try removing it for a few minutes. If the error still displays on your camera, then it will need to be serviced.
