Why does it take several seconds sometimes for my camera to write to the sd card? I have a class 10, 8gb sd card.

The label "Class 10" is meaningless nomenclature nowadays, used to sell sub-par memory cards. You need to check the write-capacity of the card. Lexar indicates the write capacity as 100x, 200x etc, and others indicate it as MB/sec. You need to upgrade your card. I use Lexar 400x and San Disk 45mb/sec; they're a little pricier but the write capacity is instantaneous. If better cards are not in the budget, reduce your pixel count for your pics. A high speed card will even shorten the time it takes the camera to process multi-shot pictures such as those produced by HDR back light correction or superior auto..

Are you sure the camera is writing to the card, or does it say "Processing"? When the camera is in a multi-shot mode such as Hand-held Twilight or Backlight Correction HDR, it automatically takes several images and then merges them, which typically takes a few seconds. However, if you're sure you're referring to just the action of writing to the SD card, then I don't know the answer.

Have you checked the specs on the memory card you are using? Some of the faster cards are not that compatible with the camera.

You must have a Class 4 for it to work properly. I done the same thing with a 32 mb, Class 10 and got the same result, "mass storage". I ordered a Sandisk, 16mb, Class 4 from WalMart with their site to store to make sure it was a Class 4, cost less that $15. I worked perfectly. I hope this helps, get a Class 4 mini SD card up to 32mb max.

The description of your camera states that it has a 4 gig SD card built into it. The card I bought would fit into your camera if there is an open slot for it. My card is a bit slow. It is a 4. You can go up to 10 for faster writing to the card. You need to determine what speed and max gb card your camera can handle.

Hi, If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out. If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

maybe its the memory card or something do you have a fast one? check to make sure.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 card. Oddly, the camera thinks it's full quite often. I don't worry too much about it -- just format when I get that message.

Yes--mine has one that was just kicking around the house. The higher "class" micro sd cards do write/read quicker, I think, so if you're buying one, that's worth considering.

As with most electronic devices like camera's and camcorder's the new SDHC cards my not work. The class 10 SDHC cards are ultra fast and may not work in your camera. It may only use class 2 or 4. Check your owner manual. Hope this helps.

The delay is minimum between single shot in auto mode, not more than the time needed for it to refocus, definitely less than 1 second. I don't know if this has anything to do with the SD card. I am using a class 10 card. The camera also has a continuous shooting mode, in which it can take about 7 frames all within 2 seconds.

I have a 16GB microSD card in the camera and the max allotted time it allows me to shoot videos is 20 minutes. I've noticed that I can shoot 2 to 3 times for 20 minutes videos. I also have a 2GB microSD card that was originally for a cell phone and when I put it in, it allowed me to shoot 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure the bigger the SD card you have you will be able to shoot a lot more.

The in-camera memory is good for only 3 pictures (I only get three) - after that you have to copy to card.A friend of mine said that reason it doesn't automatically copy to the card is his card was already formatted.Maybe - just maybe if you used the camera to format the card (saving your card to your computer first) the card would automatically cross-save your photos as you shot more pictures..I'm going to try that and will reprot back later - camera in my daughters hands for the next couple of weeks.

The camera records all of the time, but when the card fills up, it over-writes the previously recorded data. That works because you do not have to download or change memory cards.

I believe it is the time it takes to write to the card, it seems to process my pictures faster than the old card I had that was a slower card. I do know this one holds lots more pictures than the 30gb I was using before.

For me the camera had some issues with a class 8 SD card so I got the 32GB class 10 card and haven't had any problems since. They aren't too bad price wise now so its a good investment.

i bought the Kingston 16 GB Class 4 MicroSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter SDC4/16GB and have it in my Camera and it works perfectly. i have my camera set to HD mode and it gives me almost 3 hours of recording time.

My camera did the same thing and at first I thought it was the camera and I thought about exchanging it for a new one. I instead bought another memory card to try first and since then I haven't had any issues.
