hi After you've safely uploaded your digital images to your computer or
other device, what do you do with the memory card? Here are a few tips:
Don't use the computer's software to erase your memory card; always
use the camera. That way your card will remain as compatible as possible
with your digicam.
When you're on the go and haven't had time to back up all of your
pictures, use the "erase all" function on your digital camera. This
allows you to recover deleted pictures with recovery software in an
emergency.
You only need to use the "format" function on your camera every few
months. This reformats the card completely providing you with a "clean
slate," but also prevents data recovery in an emergency.
One of my favorite data recovery programs is PhotoRescue. It's available both for Windows and Mac OS X. You can download a trial version, and if you like it, purchase for $29.
Consider 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. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.
On your sansa, go to "Settings" then System Settings" then "USB Mode," then change it to MSC, if that does not work, try the other modes, just in case. Hope this helps.
If the images on a SmartMedia or xD-Picture Card fail to appear when the camera is connected to a Windows PC, one of the situations listed below may apply.
1. There may be a problem with the SmartMedia or xD-Picture Card. Check that the images can be viewed on the digital camera. If the images cannot be viewed on the digital camera, gently wipe the gold colored contact area on the SmartMedia or xD-Picture Card with a soft cloth and then check again.
2. "PC Camera" may be selected as the USB setting on the digital camera. Change the USB setting to DSC or select DSC in USB MODE.
* This only applies to models with a USB Setting or USB MODE option in the SETUP screen.
3. Does the LCD monitor on the digital camera show that the USB connection is active (USB, DSC or a USB symbol with an arrow is shown on the LCD monitor)? If not, the digital camera and PC may not be connected correctly. Check the items listed below.
a) Restart the PC and reconnect the USB cable.
b) If the PC has multiple USB ports, connect the cable to a different USB port.
If steps a) and b) have both been tried and there is still no USB connection indicator displayed on the LCD monitor, there may be a problem with the digital camera or USB cable. Contact an authorized Fujifilm service center and ask them to check the digital camera together with the USB cable. Refer to the Digital Equipment Repair page for information such as the procedure for requesting checks and the locations of authorized Fujifilm service outlets.
4. The USB driver may not be installed correctly. Download the USB driver from the Fujifilm general downloads web page and re-install the driver.
5. The card may not be recognized correctly if the camera is connected to an added USB interface board or via a USB hub. Always use a factory installed USB port and connect the camera directly to the USB port on the PC.
