I downloaded the owners manual for the 4300 and on pages 99 and 100, it has detailed instructions for doing those functions. Also note, that it says to hold down the erase button for 2 seconds to bring up the menu you need. If you have followed those instructions and can not do a format, you should check the SD media card and make sure that you have not accidently moved the "write protect" switch on the card. If it is write protected, you can not format.

I deleted all old photos on memory card. Took some new ones, but now they won't upload on my laptop. Was working fine before.
* Brand and model# needed for specific instructions.
* Check your warranty. Call for service.
*** Following is for information only.***
* Depending how you deleted the older files. If you just selected everything and deleted or reformated the card then the camera is looking for a specific formated card or folder to move the files to.
* It's also possible that without finding the correct file folder or format that the camera "Default" to the internal memory. You will need to re-insert the properlly formated (or use the format option on camera menu. I would suggest using another card.).
* Connect the camera to your computer to browse the pictures in the camera's memory. Download or transfer to your hard drive storage.
* Once you have archived all your pictures then insert a new data card and start over again following you camera's set up instructions.

How cani unlock my camera? i cant delete my pictures?
Erasing a memory card: when erasing a memory card, individual photos are deleted from their directories on the card. You can erase one or more user selected images at a time, or erase all images at one time. However, any images that you've selected to be "protected" through another menu option will not be removed during the erasure process.

Formatting a memory card: format a memory card sample menuFormatting, on the other hand, deletes all images from a memory card, even the ones that may have been protected. It recreates the file system including new directories and folders where images are saved on the card.

Unlike erasing, formatting improves the overall performance of a card.

Low level formatting: some digital cameras offer a low level format in addition to the standard format option. With a low level format, all data on the card is deleted. New directories and folders are also recreated during this process.

A low-level format of a high speed memory card helps ensure smooth continuous shooting at a constant interval. For optimal video performance, it's also recommended that a low level format be done sometime prior to recording.

In camera, not computer: though opinions vary, many recommend formatting a memory card in a digital camera, not via a computer. If you plan to use a memory card that was previously used in another camera, format the card in the new camera before taking any shots.

Hope this helps and just keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

What if I erased the...DMCI folder in my memory card? I can no limport my pictures in my desktop because there is nothing in my memory card..
Hi,

It is not recommended to erase the DCIM Folder in the Camera as this is the root directory in the Digital Camera which contains DCIM (Digital Camera images). This DCIM Folder contains the sub directory where the images are getting saved. if the folder is deleted manually from the Computer, then the Camera will not recognize the Memory Stick inserted and the Computer also. if the folder is deleted or edited, then I suggest you to Format the Memory Stick again in the Camera using the Format option in the Menu of the Camera.

Thanks for using Fixya.

If you have additional question, let me know.
Thanks.

I took the photos but unable to see in the camera but the memory card is occupied with the photos i took...so how can i retrieve the photos ? kindly help me :)
Take no more pics until you've recovered the photos, take the card out of the camera. Here's some freeware photo recovery software that should be what you're looking for.

You will need to use a flash card reader with this software. If you don't have one, get one, they're inexpensive.

The reason this occurred is that you likely never formatted the card. The card will work fine in the beginning but eventually will corrupt.

AFTER you've recovered the photos, format the card in your camera to prevent this from happening again. Go to the "tools" menu, and select the item stating your memory card's capacity. Then follow the on-screen prompts. But keep in mind formatting will also totally erase your card, so again only do this after you've recovered the photos.

Lost all photos
It's no problem at all to get them back. Please see this post for several free software that you can download. You'll need to use a card reader with these programs though:

http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/recovering-those-accidentally-lost.html

After you've recovered your photos, consider formatting the card IN YOUR CAMERA. This should help prevent such episodes from happening again. This will also erase the card, so make sure that you've recovered the photos first.

Press menu, then select the tools menu. Scroll down to the selection showing the capacity of your card and select it. Follow the on-screen prompts for a "Low-Level" format.

How can I enlarge my instagram profile picture Secondly, you should remember that Instagram instazoom.io has pixel and ratio limits and if your images are too big they will be resized and compressed. However, if you have a good quality camera, you should be able to upload 320x320 pixel images. However, if the original size is too large, you may have a blurry image. It is not only important that your profile picture is of high quality. It is also important that it is not cropped. It can be a good idea to dip your images before uploading them, but you want to make sure they're square or rectangular. This way your profile photo will look good on both mobile and web.

UniRoss RC101296 - left side not working This model can charge up to 4 AA batteries. When the 4 batteries Ni-MH are when in place, two red led lights are 'ON' indicating that the batteries are charging. When the charging is complete, the red lights turn off. There is a red light for the two first batteries on the left 1 and a second one for the 2 batteries on the right. But for the batteries on the left side the red light 1 indicating 'charging' does not light up. I have tried to move the batteries slightly, there are on the correct polarity, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas..
