Why is recording to the memory card slow, or continuous shooting slow on my Canon IXUS 150?
If recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower, use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card.
Why is the lens not retracted on my Canon IXUS 150 Digital Camera?
