Sony DSC-P200 file name

If you didn't keep a copy, you may well be out of luck. If your camera hasn't been used much, you may be able to "undelete" the original picture from the camera using software like this:

Use a card reader to transfer photos from your computer to your camera.

The camera is intended to take photos for eventual transfer to a computer. It is not really designed to go the other way. Thus you'll need to use another device (such as a card reader) to go the other way.

Bear in mind that if the photos were taken with a different camera, or have been edited in any way, the camera may not display them. Opening a photo in a photo editing program on a computer and saving it without making any changes counts as editing.

First of all, if you've edited the pictures in any way (opening a picture in a photo editing program and then saving it without making any changes counts as editing) then the camera most likely won't be able to display the images.

You can transfer files (not just pictures) to the memory card using a card reader. Plug the card into the reader and it will appear to your computer as another hard drive. Simply drag-n-drop files to it the same way you copy other files on your computer.

Not without special software to change the EXIF data of the file. You could Google Exif Date change" and pick from the software in the results. If it is a date that is part of the visible photo (even shows up on prints of the photo), you would have to use a photo editing program such as Photoshop.

Normally if a digital images is "blown out" there is little that can be done to bring it back. Before going out and spending money on a Photoshop program take the media card to an actual camera dealer one who processes and prints and see if they can bring the images back. I also don't want to build faults hopes. I'm sorry for your loss but the good thing is now you have an excuse to go back.

You can use the Camera without the installing the software supplied on the software installation disc.

The simplest way to transfer the photos from the Camera to the Computer is to connect it to the USB port of a Computer then follow the following steps:

1. For Windows Computer:
(a) as soon as the Camera is connected the computer recognizes it as a removable drive.
(b) open the windows exlorer by pressing the "Windows + E" key together.
(c) locate the removable drive in the windows explorer that represents the connected camera.
(d) double click the drive to navigate through the files and folders, then double click on the DCIM folder to view all the images.or navigate through other available folders to check if the images are stored in them too.
(e) select all the desired images then copy them by pressing "CTRL+C" then paste them on the hard drive of the Computer by pressing "CTRL+V".

2. For Mac"
(a) as soon as the Camera is connected the computer recognizes it as a "NO NAME" folder and display it on the Desktop.
(b) double click the "NO Name" folder to navigate through the files and folders, then double click on the DCIM folder to view all the images. or navigate through other available folders to check if the images are stored in them too.
(c) select all the desired images then copy them then paste them on the hard drive of the Computer by using the copy and paste operation.

Hi There, My name is Peter and believe it or not I've just purchased a new computer which has Vista I tried to load the CD without success
Can you please help me as I love this Sony Camera

Nikon complies with the industry standard DCF (Design Rule for Camera File Systems) format which governs the file structure of images on memory cards as well as file naming and other image properties. Due to the constraints of this file system, images that have been edited may not be able to be read by the camera when copied back to the card. The card can, however, be used to move images (or other files) just like any other removable disk. To do this connect the camera to the computer using the "MSC" USB mode (where supported) or use a third-party USB memory card reader. The camera's card will then appear like any other "Removable Device" and files can be copied to it. Nikon cannot offer additional assistance in transferring images back to the card or viewing edited images on the camera.
