Try 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 )

Go to the camera's Menu and format the memory card.

Try removing the memory card and plug it into a PC to format it.

• For desktops you'll usually need to buy a card reader, but most laptops have these built in. Keep in mind that you may still need an adapter to plug it into the card reader itself (usually, micro and mini SD cards need an adapter which converts them into a full-sized SD card).
• Once you have plugged the card in to your computer, open "My Computer" and right click the drive.
• Select "Format" and leave the options default, click OK.
• Your card should be ready to use in your phone.

Your camera can use SD/MMC cards up to 1GB. Your new card is probably an SDHC card.

My camera was doing the same thing. I kept trying 4 gb cards, finally read the specs said only 2 gb supported. I put a 2 gb card in the camera and it worked fine.

Press 'Menu/Ok' button, then select left/right arrows to select 'Setup' sub-menu,then select 'Format' menu item with up/down arros and press 'Menu/Ok' button. Select 'Yes' and press 'Menu/Ok' again.
Don't forget to download important images to PC before doing this. ALL images from memory card will be DELETED by formatting.

Hi,
SD Memory Card is compatible with your Digimax 401 camera. You just need to format the card.

Try putting the card on your computer, and open up the file to see if the pictures are still there. Unfortunately, it is quite possible that you formated the card, thus causing the deletion of the pictures. If the pictures are still there on the computer, then copy them to your computer, then delete whatever is left on your card, reformat it on the camera, and then copy the pictures back from the computer to the memory card. If you have any questions, please contact me.
