Try downloading them to the computer first and then print them from there.

You may download a copy of the manual from here.

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

No. You have to use MMC or SD cards, 2GB or smaller.

The EX-Z500 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work with this camera.

The problem is that your camera will only read SD cards, not SDHC cards, I checked its specification. You found your 256Mb card too small and bought a replacement, not noticing that it was SDHC. The new card doesn't work, not because it or the camera is broken, but because it's not compatible.

Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD. Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC. 4Gb cards can be either SD or SDHC, but are almost always SDHC because they're cheaper. I'm willing to bet that the 4Gb card you got is actually SDHC because 4Gb SD cards are so rare that I've even seen a guru on this site claim they don't exist. I did own one once, but it was very expensive and turned out to be so unreliable that I had to return it.

Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it doesn't say "SDHC" on it. (If it does, it probably means that they made a 4Gb card, but there were some error locations and so they disabled half of it and packaged it as a cheap-brand 2Gb.)

you should try to use another usb cord! or try to turn on the camera when the cord is plugged in the pc

Is it a SD card, or a SDHC (High Capacity) card of more than 8GB? Because the EX-Z500 natively does not support Large-SDHC.

Power off the camera. Press and keep pressed the MENU key, and while doing this, turn on the camera via the ON button. Press the MENU key until the firmware revision is displayed. I suspect you will see V1.01 or V1.00.

And Large-SDHC support is only present in release V1.02 of the Z500 firmware.

You should have the firmware updater-checker software; if not, you can find it on Casio website:

This should fix it up. Let me know if it works.

Did you format it in the camera before trying to use it?

Check the ISO and exposure compensation.

The little sliding in connection pieces could be broken or cracked or the memory stick could be genirec and is not compatible with your camera type.

Did you try formatting the card through Camera menu options?

I was having the same problem... I put the camera in the cradle with it plugged into usb and then pushed play mode... the camera went to play mode and then i pushed and held the camera mode button while i was removing it from the cradle... it ended up turning on!!! i have no clue.. very weird

If the photo shoot out show white , the obscure (quality variation), and even horizontal line ( white lines), and so on over-exposure cases, even if the use of anti-tremor, set to default values are invalid, because the camera shutter fault.

It's need repair camera machine shutter.
