Card Setup.. When i try to view my old pictures or take a picture, the viewer screen shows a Card Setup page, and i have either a choice of "Format" which will erase my pictures or "switch off".. How can i recover the pictures on the card?!

Hi, Chances are your memory card has been corrupted and is no longer readable by your camera hence the camera asking you to "reformat". You have to perform the reformat to hopefully make the memory card usable again. To try and recover the pictures inside the memory card, you have to remove it, insert into a suitable memory card reader attached to a PC and make use of a recovery software. The software maybe available from the memory card manufacturer or a third party such as Smart Recovery (www.softwarepatch.com), Flash Memory card recovery utility (www.filesrecovery.org). Hope this be of help to you. Post back how things are or should you need additional info. Good luck and Kind regards.
