Not sure you tried all the things I should do.
Be sure the cards are formatted, and try to format them in the camera.
But before you put in any card, check with a bright light close to the memory card slot, if all the contacts are clean and free, Just a little bit of dust or paper on one contact, could spoil all the fun. The contacts should be clem and shiny. All straight and to one side, Not one can be a little bent. If someone ever pressed a memory card in the camera the wrong way around, a lot of damage should be seen down there with some contacts bent or broken.
And be sure you did not switch all the cards to the lock position.

SOURCE: Fuji FinePix S700 Problem

Try to put it on super macro and see if this will reset the zoom function.
Also try to switch between the settings that allow the digital zoom, as compaired to those settings that only allow optical zoom.
If these do not work, you may have a lens that has been dropped, or is stuck, and may need to be serviced. I have the S700, and have never seen this error before> good luck.

SOURCE: camera or memory card "CARD FULL" error

Check to see if in your settings you are putting the pictures onto the memory card or the cameras internal memory. If there is no internal memory, then I guess that's no help. Also check to see if the card is write protected (a little switch on the side of it).

SD card won't stay in the slot of my Panasonic Lumix DMC-SL80

is the lock on the card by chance. also depending on how old the camera is and how big the sd card is in gb. the lumix may not be able to handle that size of card, too many gb. My lumix would only accept up to 4 gb, so when I moved to 16 they did not work.

I have had my camera for 3 years but never had bought a memory card for it. I recently purchased one from Walmart. When i put the memory card in the digital display almost gets stuck and won't open so...

The camera takes SD cards up to 2GB (not SDHC cards). If you've been taking pictures using the camera's internal memory, you must first get rid of those pics. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions. Then, insert your new card and go through the "format" routine again to prepare the new card.

My camera says it is a memory card error, the card is good and I even tried a new one. Is there a fix?

Your camera model can only use 2GB or less standard SD cards. Fortunately, 2GB standard SD cards are relatively inexpensive these days, and may be purchased on Amazon or eBay. There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Other causes include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link.

Why can't I take more than 3 pictures with internal memory? It then says internal memory is full.

The camera that you have only has 10 MB of internal memory , if you are taking photographs at 12 megapixels only 3 photographs would fit as each photograph would be around 3 MB each. I would suggest to buy an external memory card and take photographs on that. The internal memory is only for demoing and checking if the camera works and not for standard use. Buy a SD/SDHC card , they are very cheap nowadays and have immense capacity to hold lot more photographs.

Just bought camera kodak easyshare C195. Took 6 pictures now it says internal memory is full. How do I fix this without having to pay for information. I paid enough for the camera to not have problems

Your camera has only 32MB of internal memory, out of which only 19 MB is available for picture storage. So you can store only a few pictures.
The actual number of images and videos will vary depending on the length, reolution and compression used. For an example, a 1GB memory (1000MB) can store approximately 200 photos at 12MP resolution at 4.6MB file .

You need to buy an SDHC memory card ( micro SDHC card is also fine, then you need an SD card adapter) to store more pictures. These cards are available from 4GB to 32GB , and at different speed class ratings. I would recommend minimum class 4 speed rating so that you can capture high definition video.

These SD memory cards are available at standard stores. One place you can buy them cheap is through ebay. You buy through auction. New ones or used ones. Usually, you may be able to get at half price.

Hp Photosmart 8150 can't read sdhc memory card

Unless the SD slot is specifically designated that it can read the new SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory card it will not read even though it plugs intop the standard SD slot.. I checked and this printer can't read the SDHC card only the standard SD card. You can buy a SDHC USB reader on ebay for a few dollars.

I keep getting the error msg memory card cannont be read

Your camera is only supporting: SD/MMC up to 1 Gigabyte

The card that you currently have might be high speed. All should be sorted if you change the SD card to the supported MMC SD card up to 1G. There is a lever on the SD card this one might need to be changed.

The card that you currently have might be faulty. Please try another card.
You might also need to switch the camera over to saving pictures directly onto the SD card.1: Menu, Cam settings, Chose AUTO or SD card option Press OK

Note: If the SD card isn't in the camera or is unreadable the camera will automatically go back to saving you taken pictures on the internal memory.

Loaded new memory card, and screen reads memory card error-memory card locked. Removed new card from camera, nnlocked card, inserted card again, but received same message. Please advise.

I'm guessing you bought a new 4GB SDHC card. Although it looks exactly the same as a standard SD card, the format the card uses is very different. If your camera is more than a few couple years old, it's likely it was designed before the SDHC format came out. Sorry, but a SDHC card will not work with older cameras.
For older cameras, you'll need to use standard SD cards (usually those 2GB or less). But if you really want to use a 4GB card, do a Google search for 4GB SD "non HC", with the non HC in quotes. Believe Transcend makes one.
