unable to retrieve photos from AS590 camera

Hi all,

I am using CHDK for about 2 years. Mostly for the Intervalometer feature.
By mistake I formatted the SD card in the camera.
Then I had to reinstall CHDK, I believe version 1.4.

Selected to automatically run the intervalometer script.
Everything went fine! It begins shooting after power on, and I even could hook the camera to USB port on my Windows machine and get the photos.

Yesterday I took it to shoot for an hour and there are lots of photos.
But when I am hooking it to an USB port it displays "communication error".
Also I cannot enter the CHDK menu.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Seems like a Cannon bug/limitation :(

Yes, this is a Canon issue that has been around for a very long time. You need to use a card reader if there are too many images on the card.

Unfortunately, this error disables all PTP communication, so you can't use the CHDK PTP extension to bypass it either.
