The A520 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible.

You need to use SD cards 2GB and smaller.

My Canon A520 playback switch does not work - it slides down but the camera does not change to playback mode, therefore I can not view on camera, or download to computer. Tried new batteries. Any ideas?
