PowerShot ELPH 180 Can you transfer videos from computer to be able to watch them on camera?

Hi I have an elph 180 and would love to know if there is a way to transfer videos from my computer to be able to watch them on my canon elph 180 camera. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know. Thanks

Probably not. Canons are very fussy about the files they can play back.

sa5,

I think it's pretty much a one-way street, i.e. camera to computer. I don't know of anyone who has been successful transferring from computer to camera.

If you want something that's mobile, you might try copying the file from the the computer to a thumb drive that you can play on another computer, or even your phone (assuming your phone can play the file type you have downloaded.

I have been successful in downloading videos from my camera to my tablet and playing them there.

I have been able to transfer pictures that were not taken on the camera onto the camera and view them. I was just hoping I can also do so with videos
