Question about Nikon Coolpix 4200 Digital Camera

Out of memory

I have a Nikon coolpix 4200 that has a 256mb. The card "contains no images", but the camera displays "out of memory". Do I need to replace the memory card?

Do you have the Manual?
Read it through
If you do not have a paper manual
It may be as a PDF file on the software disk
Do you have the software disk and a computer?
Failing that
Use the menu button on the camera and run through the options that come up on the screen.
I cannot be exact in what you will see- every camera model is different
eventually you should see something like -
'Card Setup' use the up/down L/R button to find the proper command

just find a quiet corner and settle down to get to grips with the thing.

My Nikon Coolpix S8000 will no longer read the memory card. I check it in the laptop and there are numerous images, but the camera reads, "Memory Contains no images" on two different SC cards when you try...

Sounds like you've added images to the card using the computer or another camera. The Nikon doesn't recognize them and concludes the card is empty.

Out of Memory on Card, but also says: Memory contains no images

I think you may have deleted the folders from your memory card. The camera could be looking for the folder to put the photo into, and this error comes up instead of one about the folder.

hello

are you using a removable SD memory card?

check to see if your card is compatible with your camera.

the card maybe corrupt or may need formatting, try that after you back your pictures, movies up.

if the SD card was bought on auction site, may be a counterfeit. (the legit cards have serial numbers on them)
