My camera won't save to mass storage

Just bought a new SD card and installed it into the camera, has new batteries, and when I take pictures it saves to the camera and not the mass storage device. I have the twain driver set mass storage as well and it still will not save to the card

    I had a 4GB card installed so this is the reason why it wouldn't work with the camers

Are you sure it's an SD card? If it's larger than 2GB then it's actually an SDHC card and won't work in the A300.

SOURCE: how do i save the pictures to see them without a memory card

there is only a 16 MB internal memory built into the camera, which at 5 Million pixels will allow you 1 or 2 photos, so you will have to by an SD type card, i would suggest either a 512MB card or 1GB if you are taking pictures at the highest resolution.

SOURCE: Saving pictures

The camera has a very limited storage space on itself. It probably isnt saving the pictures on the card because the card is write protected (probably on accident)
just pull out the card and on it is a tiny little switch. just push that into the next position and it is no longer write protected. the write protection is there to prevent you from losing your photos, to put more photos on it you will have to deactive the protection with that switch, its usually white colored

SOURCE: camera does not recognize memory card

Did you format your memory card before you tried to use it? Format your SD card in the camera first and see if you still have the problem. Also, check to make sure the switch on the card is not in the locked position.

SOURCE: Pictures are not being saved on my new SD card.

Hi Greg,
Make sure you format the card in the camera before you use it. Cards won't work most of the time, until you do. Also, check to make sure the switch on the side is not in the locked position.

SOURCE: when i take a picture it wont save on the memory

THe memory card is either to large for the camera, or needs to be formatted. Put the memory card in a laptop or other card reader and inspect what is on it; save the contents and then reformat the card for the camera by running format.

Laptop running Windows7 previously mounted Nikon D70 (camera) as Mass Storage Device but, stopped recognising it. Camera sees laptop?

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Windows Photo Gallery or Nikon Transfer.

I have an Optio S camera. We haven't used it in a while because we lost the battery charger. We bought a new one and we took some pictures last night but they are not saving to the SD card. The card...

They are being saved to the internal memory of the camera. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the instructions to erase the internal memory. Insert your card and it should now work properly.

Kodak easyshare m360 says memory full after 3 photos i just bought the camera, what i shell do < shell i buy memory card or usb for it ?

You need to switch the camera over to saving pictures directly onto the SD card.
  • Menu
  • Cam settings
  • Chose AUTO or SD card option
  • Press OK to SD card
Note: If the SD card isn't in the camera or is unreadable the camera will automatically go back to saving you taken pictures on the internal memory.

If you experience problems:
The lever on your SD card might be turned the wrong way so the SD card is reading protective.
Please turn the lever and try again.

The SD card might not be supported by the model: Your camera Memory card support is SD/MMC up to 2 Gigabyte and SDHC up to 8 Gigabyte

The SD card might not be faulty, try another card, since the camera could give you a message like the one you're experiencing.
Try with a different SD card that is supported by the camera.

Once you have set the settings to save onto the SD card directly you might like to transferre your existing pictures from the internal memory onto the SD card:
