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.

I also had this happen when I downloaded the images and reinserted the sd card. Either i didn't remove all the images clearly or it remained after downloading. Another friend told me that when it happens it is caused by a corruption in the SD card. In any case, I would use a new SD card.

I think the other answer is correct. That when you are safely removing it is for the USB device. However, I did remove just the card and everything was fine.

I don't think so. I haven't even been using the cord. So much easier to just pop the card into the computer and use from the file manager. You can delete photos even copy photos onto it and view as long as you pay attention to the naming constraints.

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.

The W50 allows you to format a memory stick, which deletes all the pictures at once. They don't want to make it as easy as "one push of a button," since it's not reversible. But clearing the memory stick is just a few button pushes away.

no... it's not intended for that sort of thing.. When the memory card is full it shuts itself off until you change the card or erase it.

get a microsd/transflash memory card and copy over the pics to your card instead of storing it in the phone's internal memory.

The bigger the card you put in it, the longer the "refresh" cycle takes every time you add or delete anything. As a matter of fact, when you put a loaded card in, the first time you turn it on after that it will do a "refresh".

Sorry I do not know. My 'guess' is the pictures are there. Unless you erase the pictures they usually remain. Michael

Insert card into camera.w/ camera set to view pictures, press menu button. arrow down to the icon of the little wrench (that's setup). Arrow down/thru 5 pages til you see format. it will say "delete all data?" (make sure there are no pictures on the card you want to keep or they will be gone once you hit yes. Hope that helps. If you have any ?? lmk As I also have this camera.

One you have formatted the card, you've erased the software that comes on it. The instructions, if I'm recalling correctly, instruct you to copy the folder from the card to your computer before doing any formatting. Go to their Web site. Support should be able to help.

"Formatting the card will definitely speed things up over an un-formatted card."Thank you Les. I follow your logic. Also, do you know how to format a card?Thanks again!

I haven't test it; but I think there's no problem if you reformat it.The only issue could be related to the physical size of the card, please verify it before buying

each card is treated as a separated one. each time you introduce a diferent card it creates a new file.the device can update a file if the card that is insert different times hass no deleted files, if you delete one foto alone the device will consider a diferent card an creates a new file.
