Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Look at your memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

If that doesn't work, try another card.

Hi,

Formatting a memory will delete all the photos including the protected images. Download important images to your PC before formatting the memory

1. Go to Settings (it will prompt you to some options)
2. Go to Format
[No]: The Memory Will not be formated.
[Yes}: A window for confi rming the selection displays.
3. Select the [Yes] menu.
2. A [Processing!] message appears and the memory will be formatted. If you run FORMAT in Play mode, a 3. [No Image!] message will appear.

Hi,

Here is what the Samsung websites says:

MMCplus(up to 2GB guaranteed 4bit 20MHz);
SD (up to 4GB guaranteed);
SDHC (up to 8GB guaranteed);

So it is OK to use a 4GB SDHC memory card in your samsung sl310w.

Hope this helps.

sorry but once you format your camera it completely erases everything to make room. there is nothing you can do.

Take the card to a store that has a Kodak picture maker kiosk (like Walmart). Your pictures should show up and you can print them or even make a cd. After you do that, format the card in the camera before using it again.

maybe the memory card is bad?try changing it with a diffrent one!!!

There could be many different problems with this camera.
The batteries could be defective.
The camera itself could be defective.
The lens may be jammed.

I'm not there so I can't say exactly what is wrong. If possible, try to email Samsung and they will get back to you in at least 2 business days.

You will need to format the memory. Have a look at the manual for instructions or download from this link. The format instructions are on page 36

You will need to allow popups to show this page.

If it works don't forget to 'fixya'!!

I have two suggestions. First, you can tag a bunch of your photos on the camera, and then delete them in one operation. You can also delete all the photos on the camera in one operation. This is explained in the owner's manual on page 45 (can be downloaded from www.samsungcamera.com): Deleting images 1. Select a desired sub menu by pressing the UP/ DOWN button and press the OK button. [Select] : Selection window for an image to delete is displayed. - Up/ Down/ Left/ Right : Select an image - Zoom T Button : Select the image for deletion. (V mark) - OK Button : Press the OK Button to display the confirmation message. Select the [Yes] menu and press the OK button to delete marked images. [All Pics] : Displays confirmation window. Select the [Yes] menu and press the OK button to delete all unprotected images. If there aren?t protected images, all the images are deleted and a [No Image!] message will display. 2. After deletion, the screen will be changed to the play mode screen. My alternative suggestion is to use a better program on your PC for downloading and organizing photos. You can get a really nice (and free!) one at www.preclick.com. When you download photos using this, it gives you the option of deleting the downloaded photos from the camera at the same time.
