"Thank you for your inquiry about using a 4GB memory card in your
PowerShot A540. We value you as a Canon customer and appreciate the
opportunity to assist you.
Any card with a capacity up to 2048GB that adheres to the SecureDigital
card standard, and is formatted with either a 16 bit (cards up to 2GB)
or 32 bit (for cards larger than 2GB) file addressing system, should
work in your camera.
Unfortunately, because we have not tested the camera with all speeds,
sizes, and brands of SecureDigital cards, we are unable to speculate as
to the performance of the camera with a particular card installed, or to
recommend a specific type of card.
When it comes to memory cards, bigger is not always better. Please keep
in mind that if you choose to purchase a very large card (1GB or 2GB,
for example), and that card is subsequently lost, corrupted, or damaged,
you will have lost a great deal of memory and many, many images.
Extremely high-capacity cards are most often used by professional
photographers who shoot several hundred (or even several thousand)
images in a single session. They are not necessarily the best choice
for the average digital camera owner. You may wish to consider
investing in several smaller cards (128MB, 256MB, 512MB). If one of the
cards is lost or damaged, you will have other cards to use. Another
fact to consider is that as larger cards are introduced, the cost of
smaller cards usually decreases. Of course, you may use whatever card
you wish; the above information is provided so that you can make an
informed decision"
The A540 is a newer camera and they dont even recomend larger size memory cards in it.
