Can A Canon Powershot S400 Save Photos Without A Cf Card Installed?
Posted on December 10th, 2009 by digital camera canon powershot
My boss was told that she could shoot pictures with her Canon Powershot S400 without the CF card because the photos will be stored in the internal drive. She was also told that the pictures could be retrieved via a USB cable. From what I can tell this isn’t true. Whatever photo program I use I get the message that there are no detectable compatable files. So I am assuming that you can’t store images without the CF Card.

Yes it can, but …
The internal memory in point and shoot cameras is a joke. You can only use it as a backup for when your CF card fills and you don’t have a spare one with you.
She needs to buy a nice 1GB CF card (under $14) and be done with it …heck she should buy two of them.
My guess is she is shooting the camera at near its lowest resolution so she can get more photos on the tiny 32MB internal memory
And the only way she can get the images off the camera is using the camera to USB connection.
Using a CF card allows her to copy images to her computer using a card reader .. much less hassle that way.
