memory card: Anyone know?
233373
There are two accessories you should get with this camera. Rechargable batteries and a 2GB memory card. The camera comes with 2 AA alkalies and a 16MB memory card. The alkalies will give you a little over 100 shots but the 16MB card can only hold a fraction of those shots before it runs out of space. With a 2GB card and a set of rechagables you'll be ready to go. People have mistakenly stated that this camera eats batteries but that is simply not true. The camera has an overly sensitive low battery indicator that comes on when the batteries are only 1/4 used. Just ignore it and continue to shoot. I find I can get near 400 shots with rechargables before the batteries truly are drained. A "Change Battery Message" will be displayed at this point. This is different then the faulty low battery icon. At this point the camera will not operate until fresh batteries are in place. It might be that other cameras get way more then 400 shots, I don't know, but I don't find this limit a problem. Not too long ago I and everyone else changed out film cans every 24-36 shots. Oh, you can tell the size of your memory card by going into the menu, settings, format card. You should also be aware that it's advisable to format your card once and a while and not simply erase pics. It seems memory cards for all cameras will begin to act strange after some time if you just erase your photos. So keep your card healthy by formating it. Formating of course deletes all photos so do this only after saving to your computer.

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

Yep, I have the same problem. Luckily, I connected the camera with the card in it, directly into my PC with the USB connector that came with the camera. The pictures downloaded just fine. I thought the card was defective until I saw your post.

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.

Is it ( the memory card) recognized by the computer when it''s plugged in? If not likely a cable/connection problem. Is the USB port working? Try a thumbdrive with files already on it.

No, when the card is full it stops recording. A "Memory is full" message appears on the screen. I also bought a 32g card.

Is there any way to record directly to the card and bypass the internal memory?? thanks

The thing is, they're not even showing up as being on the card, but they show up when I go through the files on my camera. And I made sure they're actually ON the SD card, because it says my internal memory is empty. I was reading other posts and I think I may have recorded them in the wrong format? I don't know how to change that though...

Hello Mike, sorry for taking so long to reply, I was out of town. I may only be able to help you with one of your questions, unless you want to walk me thorugh figuring out the other ones. The SD card slot IS full size. The highest memory is 128 GB. NOt sure about the rest. Hope this helps.

Suposingly so, but since I don't live in the US I'm having some trouble solvinga problem with my memory card. You should probably try getting an answer from a US resident.

I've been using Trascend (class 10) and a Sandisk (class 4) memories. I've had no problems with either one. Hope it helps.

To the best of my knowledge (i.e. I looked at my tablet) that is on board memory - NOT the SD card. It's a great tablet, I really really like it and I really have had no problems so far (4 months in).

I have no idea because I have returned the very unstable 64Gb microSD(Sandisk) card before I got this one.

I ended up sending mine back because it fried my sd card so I don't know anything. Sorry

Most likely 10 if it show and said 10. Sometimes someone will put a photo that look like. Just going to hope get the right memory card.
