Deleting pictures from the card: Why would that be?

I think this was an issue with the Canon software that comes with the camera, which you do not have to use. I bought an SD card reader (I think it cost $9) and use that to put the pictures on my computer, rather than installing the Canon software and plugging in my camera. It works just fine, and then you can use Windows (or any other photo/file management software you already have on your computer) to erase all of the pictures you want. If you plan to use SDHC cards with your camera, just be sure the card reader is compatible with SDHC cards. I use several different cameras and a camcorder that uses SD cards, so it is simpler for me to just use the card reader than to install drivers for every single camera. Plus, it saves the camera's battery power and my computer's hard drive space, and I can manage photos from all of my cameras with a single program.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

I have always unloaded my pictures via my camera card into my computer. I tried previously and it did not recognize the card. The other day I started the process of learning to connect via WIFI. I created the "camera name" and went to the Canon website. I eventually became frustrated and decided to try inserting my card again into my laptop. This time it worked. So I was able to unload all my pictures the way I was used to doing. Maybe this would be another option for you to try??

I use it on a vista computer all of the time. It means that the window that you were viewing the card in is not closed. You MUST close the window and thus free the drive/card from use before windows will close it. This would/should happen no matter what version of windows you are using as it prevents data loss.HTH

Sadly it doesn't, but i like how you think! You can record till the card's full and then you need to manually delete before you can record any more. Tell the guys from ION to include it in the next one!

Did you format the card in your camera first? I have bought over two dozen Sandisk cards of all shapes and sizes and never had a problem...strange.

Yes! When its plugged into the I-Pad the picture open up in the I-Pad and you can look at, copy to I-pad or even delete the pictures from the card.

No, the files are not removed from the card. The card stays the same, and the files are copied to the hard drive.

Yes, be careful with the cheap card readers from China. I had one that corrupted image files during the read or import of the images and they were unrecoverable. I threw it away of course, but I just wanted to agree that it does happen.

As long as the light is not flashing that means there are no current read/write operations going on with the card. If you are completely done with the transfer or looking at pictures on the card, and have closed all programs using it, it is totally fine to just remove the device.

No it doesn't. You have to erase the card once it's full or every now and then. Depending on the amount of activity, I do mine about once a week (I got this reply from my niece who uses her system 24/7.) Hope this helps.

When I upload the card tot he Digital Foci Safe, they also remain on the SD card I use. I think it gives you an option to delete off card after transfer but I always like to check before deleting!!!!! I love the Foci Safe... its awesome and easy to organize photos

It depends on how big your pictures are, and what kind of additional media you use. I don't use the onboard media. I like to have several flash cards that are loaded up and swap them out, so I can rotate through thousands of pictures.

I don't know. We usually limit it so it is a manageable file to email or post on facebook, as the card we use holds a lot. Actually we have had several of these cameras and some of these types of cameras don't even have a card; of course we upload and clear the photos off the camera whenever needed.

Yes. Set the camera dial to settings mode. Scroll down and select "General", and then select format. Select "yes" on the pop up. This will format the memory card, or in other words delete it.

If you take the card out and look to see a tiny slider, slide it the other way and put back in the camera.That should do it, or try a different card.
