Canon PowerShot S3 IS Digital Camera Questions & Answers
How to take Supermacro pix?
Super Macro will not work in "auto" mode. If you put it in "P" mode
(and possibly the other manual modes) and then press the "macro"
(little flower looking think) button to the left of the lens under "MF"
(manual focus). It will display "hold for super macro" on the screen.

Canon PowerShot S3 IS & Windows 7
This is correct. The S3 is discovered by windows 7 and will allow download of pictures by Windows Picture download. The Canon Utilities software - Zoombrowser - will not work with windows 7 as the software cannot detect the Camera via Windows 7.. Also, Camera window will not start, if using the PC/laptop for remote image recording. If you virtualise XP within Windows 7 this still will not work. The only solution at the moment, if you are deperate, like I was (as I use the Remote Capture process a lot), is to either stick with Win Xp or Dual boot XP on a smaller partition.

Canon S3 Lens Error
There two possible scenarios:
1. Sand particles got stuck in the internal lens mechanism. Try in remove them with compressed air, blowing it through the camera lens openings. If this does not work, then here are the bad news.
2. Either the lens internal gears are damaged, the ultrasonic motor is damaged, or sand particles are really stuck inside the lens.
It does not matter which of the three reasons are casuing the problem, but the camera needs to be opened by a qualified technician, defined thereason of the failure, and quoted the repair service, unless you are willing to do it yourself, but it requires a complete disassembly of the camera, and I don't recommend it unless you have the experience and skills in fixing electronic devices.
Best regards,

Canon PowerShor S3 not functioning
Had my S2 IS now for 3 years , never had a problem with the lens. I'm careful not to bump my lens into anything. I actually bought the lens hood and put a filter on my lens so that no dirt can get into my lens or I can't accidentally bump my lens into anything while i'm using it as it's protected by the adapter and filter.
