CLEAR PICTURES OFF DISC

Consider getting a card reader instead. Once the memory card is inserted into the card reader, the card will appear as a disc and you can simply drag-and-drop your pictures like any other file. It will also be faster than going through a USB cable.

How do you normally download your pictures?

If you do it by connecting your camera to your computer, simply remove your memory card before making the connection. If you do it by putting your memory card into a card reader, first use the "Copy to Card" command in the playback menu to copy the pictures from the camera to the memory card.

Take the memory card out of your camera and look at it. SD/SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

Disc? Do you mean camera?


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 such as Nikon Transfer.

It varies with different brands and models of camera, but it is almost always simple, something like this: Go to viewing mode, usually by pressing a button with an arrow on it. You can step through the pictures with left and right sides of the button ring. If you want to delete one, press the button with a trash can on it. It will ask if you are sure. You will have to move the highlight to "Yes", and press OK. This will only delete that one. In a few cameras, the list with Cancel and Yes will also have Delete All. That one will delete all the pictures on the card.

Get a card reader and use it to download the pics to a computer. Then, format the card in the camera to get it to work properly again.

If you have moved pics from your computer to the card and then inserted the card into your camera, the card is now formatted to the computer, not the camera. You're supposed to format the card in the camera.

It probably won't work. The systems on the cameras are different. You may even corrupt the card in the process.

be more clear ...what is the relation you want to do ....from what I understood...you have a vivitar camera...( web or digital shooting pics??)
what about the disc?? is a memory stick you want to use?? or a sd memo inside the cam ...
the problem must be from the camera than ...cause you do not have to set any of the settings you done ...
you just make your pictures and when you want to download into the pc ...just plug it in ...and the pc will recognize the memory card ..as a removable storage device....
or if you have the drivers from camera ...install them and the programs from the disc and the choices will be multiple ..
I know i didnt been clear enough ...and you can also ask me more on yahoo at catalin_yo_vlad
Good luck !
