    Hello sullivan18
    Isn't this a pain. I thought I was on my own, till I looked on here. I took 3 short video clips at the Veleodrome M/C viewed part, got home tried to view and got same message as you This Card cannot be used. I have a Kodak 1GB SD card in and all has been fine since earlier this year.
    Hope we find an answer.

Used camera today without realizing photo chip was not in camera. How can I get these pics to print or email to friends? When chip is removed from camera, I am able to view on camera window.

Plug it to a computer and open its files(explore) look for the file where your photos were stored and move them to your laptop/computer or flash drive from there you can send it.

I have a pentax optio s10,lost ma ual but can,t figure out how to transfer pics from camera memory to sd card in camera, HELP!!!

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). 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 management program such as Picasa.
Organize edit and share your photos

You may view the manual at
Pentax Optio Optio S10 Operating Manual

"Copying files" begins on page 164.

I can't access current photos from memory card, only old photos show up stored in built in memory. Also can not access "copy" from the menu, and nothing will download to my computer. All this worked fine...

"copy" is accessed from the playback menu. If that isn't available, decide if the pics stored in the internal memory are important. If not, format the camera with no memory card inserted to erase the internal memory. If you need those pics, then download them to your computer first...then format. Next, go into the menu and find "reset"..follow the on-screen instructions. Then, purchase an inexpensive card reader and download the pics from your memory card to your computer.(and promise yourself to use the card reader from now on...and remember that after downloading, use the "safely remove hardware" icon in the bottom right of your computer screen...don't just yank out the reader!). Finally, format the card in your camera and promise yourself never to use the internal memory again.

Not able to view pictures!

Your camera card may becoming corrupted. You could try using a separate card reader to try to download your pics or take them to Walmart and use the Kodak Picture Maker to print them or make a CD of them. Once they're downloaded, format the card in the camera for a fresh start.

I am viewing pics on my D-560 and going from 1-200 pics is fine but then going to 201, the two lights on the camera start blinking and after a while the camera is shutdown. Going in reverse viewing form...

Sounds like you are keeping way too many pictures on the card. That's not safe. Download them to your computer using a separate card reader if necessary. Then format the card in the camera and start fresh.

How do I download pics from memory card? what software is needed? polaroid sd 1gb

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. Your can directly download the pictures from the camera to the PC by connecting it with a USB cable supplied with your camera.

Also, you can download the pictures using a card reader. Remove the SD card from the camera, insert it in the card reader and connect the card reader to the PC. Your card will be displayed as "Removable disc" in My Computer. You can open and view/copy pictures by double-clicking on the "removable disk" icon in My Computer.
Hope this solves your problem. For more help and clarifications, please reply to this post. Thanks

Unable to view pics

Copy the existing photos on to your PC, switch off the camera. Remove the SD card and format the SD-card using a SD-card reader, this will clear all the card contents. Now try using it in your Camera again. Ideally, you should be able to save photos on this SD card. Other way would be to insert another SD card into your camera and click photos and check whether those photos are being saved into the SD card(this can be done using display option in your digicam.)
