Same xd card problem

If your Olympus E50 camera is not saving photos to the XD card, there could be a few different reasons. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the XD card: Make sure that the XD card is properly inserted into the camera and that there is enough space available on the card for the photos you are trying to save. It's also important to check that the XD card is not locked, damaged, or corrupted.
2. Check the camera's settings: Make sure that the camera is set to save photos to the XD card and not to the camera's internal memory.
3. Format the XD card: Formatting the XD card will erase all data on it, but it can also fix some file system errors. Make sure to back up any important files before formatting.
4. Check the camera's firmware: Make sure that the camera's firmware is up to date.
5. Check the camera's manual: Some cameras may have different settings or limitations that affect the use of the XD card.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Olympus customer support for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and fix the issue or tell you if a repair is needed.
It's important to keep in mind that the Olympus E50 is an older model camera, which makes it harder to find replacement parts and professional repair services.

The camera takes a 3V xD Picture Card (3.3 V). The original one was 16 MB; the camera will support an xD card between 16 and 512 MB. Olympus will sell you a 256 MB card for $10 here: https://us.buyolympus.com/xd-picture-card-h256mb.html . Another site with the correct size xD Picture cards is http://www.memorysuppliers.com/olxdpiccar.html .

Details for the Olympus D-395 camera are available from Olympus under Archived Products. See http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_archived_product_details.asp?id=953 . Links to the manual and specs are on the site.

I hope this helps.

yes. search for these types: *OLYMPUS D-435 Olympus xD-Picture Card / xD Card 1GB (Type M)


*
OLYMPUS D-435 Olympus 2GB xD-Picture Card / xD Card (Type M)

these are the compatible storage cards for your camera.

If you like the camera and XD cards then I would use the USB cable to download the photos from the camera. When you plug the USB cale into the camera and then into the computer, the computer should recognize the camera and set it up as another disk drive. Copy or move the pictures from the card to your Photo location. Use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray to disconnect the camera and your done. The camera can format the XD card and the computer can read it through the camera.

The problem is that the largest xD card that your camera can support is an M or H 512mb card. The 1gb or 2gb cards are not compatible. The firmware in the camera cannot support memory storage with that capacity. The camera came out before those cards did and there no plans to upgrade the camera to allow those types of cards to be supported.

First things first - need to make sure that the card is making proper electrical contact with the camera. Have a look at the contacts at the edge of the card and make sure they are spotlessly clean - even a fingerprint may cause problems.

Also, make sure the contacts in the camera have nothing causing a contact problem, and see if this resolves the issue.
