Problem installing Canon PowerShot S30?

by nimboo

I have a Canon PowerShot S30 digital camera I’m trying to use on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I’ve installed the latest ZoomBrowser EX 6.5.1 (which is compatible with Win 7). I hook up my camera to the USB drive and I can’t get it to work. Windows will not recognize it and it’s unable to find any drivers, even tho I installed the software. I’ve tried going into the Control Panel and bring up to date the drivers that way but it only says “Windows could not find driver software for your device.”

The Powershot S30 is a very ancient camera, unrestricted in 2001, so that’s doubtless why you are having problems.

The simplest solution for you…would be to use your CF memory card with a compatible USB card reader.
There is absolutely no software vital.
Simply insert the memory card in the reader, then plug both into the computer’s USB port…your computer will see it as a removable drive/device (look in ‘Computer’ on your desktop).
Then just copy the files over to your hard drive.
This method of file transferral is what many photographers already use to transfer files over to the computer. It requires no software, saves draining your camera’s battery and is also quicker.

p.s. I suggest you might want to reckon about upgrading your ageing 3MP camera sometime…

excellent luck

Give your answer to this question below!

i have a canon powershot s30, and apparently its a pretty ancient school model because the memory card is gigantic and wont fit in the slots that all modern laptops have. so i bought a usb cord to transfer the files, but my computer couldnt find the driver automatically to bed in the hardware, or though it worded that… i have a gateway with windows 7. i’ve searched for the driver i need and havent had any luck, everything says there isnt any compatible software. im assuming this camera originally came with an installation/software cd, would that work? and everywhere would i find one? the canon website did show compatible software for windows xp, which my mom has, but i dont want to download that onto her computer if it isnt going to work, anyone know if it will? i also thought that possibly i could take the memory card to walmart and have them place it on a disc, but i dont know if they have the right equipment for a huge ancient school memory card or not… is there possibly some sort of adapter that i can plug the memory card in like there is with SD cards for phones? this is really getting on my nerves, delight help!

p.s. the memory card itself is a lexar media compactflash 128MB, says its USB enabled…
forgot to mention the model of my gateway, its a EC54, if that helps at all…

Usually that’s done with a usb cable furnished with the camera. Though, since it’s Compact Sparkle card you’re referring to – not ancient school by the way, that style is still used by many cameras.

Us regulars here use and recommend usb card readers. I’ve been by readers for being and they’re very simple. They’re also inexpensive and available everywhere ever cameras are sold.
