"Frame NO. Full"

In the English Manual on page 150 it says Frame no. full:
The frame number has reached 999-9999. Remedy:
1 insert a formatted Memory Card into the camera. 2 Set RENEW as the FRAME NO. setting in the (SET) SET-UP menu (> p.117).
3 Start taking pictures (The frame number starts from "100-0001").

4 Set CONTINUOUS as the FRAME NO. setting in the (SET) SET-UP menu. Good luck

It doesn't say the memory is full, it says the frame number is full. Basically you've taken 9999 pictures and it doesn't know what to do with the file name. Look in the setup menu for a frame number reset, or a file number reset. If you can't find either of those, look for a general purpose reset function - it's usually right at the bottom near the card formatting function because you hardly ever use it.

You will have to manage the situation that you will now have duplicate file names, since it will start numbering from 0001 again. I suggest you archive all your current photos, and start anew somehow.

Go to set up then Frame and change to RENEW. It is probably on continuous. My camera did the same thing and this solved it.
Apparently even thought the card is empty if it is on continuous it will start the picture numbering where you left off last time.

You need to reset the frame count. Have a look at my post for this on my profile

Your Counter has reached 999.999
Here's what you do.
Make sure you have no pictures on your card to start with.
Place the card in the camera and turn it on.
Press "Menu" and go to the "Set" menu and select "Format". This will wipe your card completely clean. When this is done select "Frame No" in the set up menu and set it to "Renew".
Now come out of the menu options and take a picture.
When you review your picture the counter should read 100.001
Now go back to the set up menu and reselect "Frame no." and set to continuous ("Cont.")
Happy snapping

The problem is ther internal memory is full or your external card is full and you have to reformat the card. Then you should be able to use the camera .

Hi!

In case you haven't sorted this out yet.

To fix this go into Menu ---> Setup. From there there's a Frame Number setting. It is normally set to: Continuous. The other option is: Renew which evidently simply resets the picture count. After selecting Renew the error message disappears and the camera works perfectly again.

Great little camera!

I had the same problem. Here's what I think is going on: the camera has a finite set of numbers that it can assign to pictures. If it is set to "continuous," then every picture that you take gets assigned a new number (even after you delete them off the card). To fix this, you need to set it to "renew" the picture numbers. Here's how to do this: Menu --> Setup --> Frame No. --> Renew.

Hope that helps!

Copy your card to hard drive, reformat your memory card, and see what the numbers of pictures it gives you.

If you lower the resolution of the camera, the more pictures you can take.

You mentioned that the camera has had a lot of abuse. I assume that means you did not take a lot of care with the camera.

Remember that a digital camera is very delicate. It will not stand under abuse very long.

Treat your digital camera like you are dealing with eggs, and it will last. Of course things do happen, it is mechanical, and things do burn out, and wear.

If you would use the wrist strap to hold the camera, the chance of dropping a camera is lessened. Putting it in a padded case will indeed help to preserve the delicate parts.

If you want to toss the camera in a box, and treat it with very little care, then maybe you should use a cheap camera.
