When taking a picture it will not go to my memory card

Have you added any memory card?
By default most camera have storage space for a very few pictures.
If you added the card, format it first.
If none works, throw it back to the seller since is guarantee covered!
Do not keep a faulty item since is new.

Hello there. Memory cards have a memory, but not the way you are worried about. The cards can be used over and over again and store the pictures that the camera is taking as it takes them but if you delete the pictures from the camera's delete button, the memory card will be clean and ready to take new pictures and as someone suggested, you can go into the menu of the camera and use the "select the FORMAT your card option" which will wipe out all picture information and leave the memory card clean and ready to record new pictures again. Old pictures are history, never to be seen by other human eyes. :)

It may be telling you that the internal memory is full. You must get rid of anything in there. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, insert your new card and do the "format" thing again.

If the camera was working properly while taking the pictures on this card then the problem lies with the card. Format the memory card, formatting the memory card cleans previously taken pictures and allows for new pictures to be made. Even if you are using a "new" card it needs to be formatted to the camera it's being used in. Your camera dates back to 2004 so a problem I recently ran into with my own camera was I needed to update the "firmware" when I tried to use a memory card larger then 2gig. If you have just purchase a new card and it is larger then what you have been using this might be the case as well. The card error message may also be caused by removing the memory card from the computer without "ejecting" or "safely remove" which shuts off the connection to the card then disconnect. Another reason is if the user constantly deletes pictures and doesn't format.
Hope this was helpful not not confusing.

Put it in play mode and see if there are pictures on the card (if the card wasnt brand new, of course) If not the card more than likely needs to be formated. In play mode push menu set button go to format when it says delete all data in memory card select yes.

Yes, you need to have memory stick because camera has limited internal memory that can store few pictures only.
Put new memory card, format it through camera Menu and copy internal memory pictures to memory stick, take our memory card from camera and delete internal memory pictures either one by one or format internal memory through camera Menu.
Thanks.

Is that exact what it says? I need more information. What kind of camera is it? I'll try to help with the little information I have:

I think your memory card is full and needs to be formatted. Select 'Menu' and look for the 'Format' option and select it. Before you select 'Yes' make sure you save any pictures that you might want to keep onto your computer. Because once the memory card is formatted you won't be able retrieve the pictures. It should ask you before formatting your memory card. While it's formatting make sure to keep the camera steady (if it's an older camera the slightest bump could disrupt the formatting process). This should take no more that a minute or two. When it's complete your memory card will be completely wiped clean. You'll now be able to take pictures. If the message appears again repeat the same process.

Note: When you 'Delete' a picture it doesn't completely leave your memory card. It will continue to take up space until you format your card.

I suggest formatting your memory card often (or you might miss out on a perfect photo opportunity and have to delete pictures you haven't put on your computer yet).

I hope this helped,

Owen

Go into my computer. Select the drive letter for that memory card with the mouse. Press the right mouse button and select format. Use the FAT option to format not NTSC.
