Vivitar cameras are known for there inability to function normaly. Alot of these and many more problems I have encountered are manufacturer problems and can not be fixed on your own. the best thing to do would be to contact Vivitar and see if they can give you a refund or replace it. it is best to call but as I do not know the number here is a link to their website. I hope this helps -Richard www.vivitar.com

Inserted memory card but keeps coming up memory card locked

SD type cards have a little switch on the card that can write protect or "lock" it. Take the card out of the camera and check this switch. To unlock it, it should be moved towards the edge of the card which has the electrical contacts.

I just inserted 4GB Memory card and took only one picture. I keep getting error message "Memory card is full, insert a SD Memory Card to Transfer and take more photos".

Is the manual, and you need to refer to pages 6 and 7.

If you still have problems, you should contact Vivitar support. This should not be a problem since the camera automatically switches to the SD card when inserted.

I try to put sd memory card in and it say's card inserted

First, be sure the slide switch on the side of the card is in the unlocked position. A new card must be formatted in the camera before using to work properly. This will erase it so download any pictures still on it using a card reader if necessary.
