Noisy images I purchased Olympus C-740 camera from EBAY couple of months back. I find that the pictures taken by my camera are more grainer/noiser that the ones seen on the WEB gallieries / samples, taken for the same model camera. I wonder if my camera is faulty or I am missing any thing..

Difficult to say without seeing some examples. Could you upload a few to your gallery for us to take a look. One possibility is the ISO is set too high. Go into your cameras settings and look up the ISO reading. Set it to its lowest setting (Probably 50 or 100) and take a few shots and see if that makes any difference. I have a C750 which does suffer with noise at higher ISO settings, but the lower setting should give very good results.

Olympus xD-Picture Card "Card Error"

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.

Regards, Andy

Have you tryed eraseing / formating it in the 740?

Make sure the camara uses the card instead of internal memory
it might be that its saveing the images into the cameras internal memory witch is probably just about 3-4 shots.
