I have a Canon HFS30 and a 2011 iMac.
I just did something stupid.
I was copying files from the camera to the computer and it said that it could not copy them...
I had already watched them in the camera and I saw they were there
I only found one file in the folder, however
I stupidly opened the memory card door to see if I had a memory card in there (could not remember)
the whole camera locked up
Tried to eject the camera disk icons from desktop - it would not
tried to turn off the camera - it would not
It locked up my desktop
I turned off the comptuer
I tried to turn off camera and disconnected the USB cord
I unplugged the camera and it still would not turn off
ACCESS light is blinking
I finally looked it up in the manual of camera
on page 137 it says to not do everything I did
or I would have permanent data loss
right now I would be grateful to get the camera working again, though devastated at the loss
I had never had this probem, I should have looked at the manual first...
however, I also find nothing in the manual on exactly what happens and how to fix it, nothing in Troubleshooting Section
can anyone help me?
have I ruined my thousand dollar camera?
I saved up to buy it - will I have to pay more to fix it?
thank you in advance,
Janet
