My memory card on the Stylus 410 digital is full. I have downloaded all photos and would like to erase the entire memory card. How?

Having gone two months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

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, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Good day,

The camera has a small internal memory that you can use to store photos on. The internal memory is normally not enough to take a lot of photos. You are able to delete the current photos by erasing the memory or deleting the photos one by one.

The solution is to purchase a memory card. I would recommend a 4 Gb SD Card.

With the extra space the memory card provides it will take a while before you run out of memory. When the card is starting to get full download all the images to your computer and erase the SD Card.

Hope this answers your question!

Regards

hi, there's a problem in your memory card and you need to do first is format the memory card into camera (if its ok to you to delete all the picture save in memory card). If the problem still occur you need to buy new memory card.

thank you and good luck my friend

You may have your photo gallery set to erase after downloads. You need to change that. Pics erased on your computer will still register as files on your camera even though you can't see them. You need to format the card in the camera. If you can't change the settings in your photo gallery, you could use a card reader and download to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can transfer them to photo gallery and your originals are still on the memory card.

You could try using a card reader instead of your camera.

You should be able to remove the memory card and use a card reader to download and erase the pics.
Uses an XD card up to 2G, if your computer doesn't have a card reader built in they are cheap to purchase. Hope this helps.

Try:-

Download your pictures then format the memory card or internal memory take some test pictures and try again.

Try a different memory card.
