No memory space in memory stick - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 Digital Camera

What make and model laptop and what operating system?

Try to format the drive from your computer, instead of just erasing it. Also, memory cards do go bad too.....some times quite easily.

The good news is they are VERY inexpensive now of days if you do need to replace it.

Copy your picture off and use the camera or your pc to reformat the card. That will restore full space to the card.
Fastest easiest way to do it.

I'm assuming you were able to see all of the space previously. If not then it could be the wrong format type or incompatable size or type of card.

try to calibrate the memory with the camera, user default software, tks

that is it . there is no enough space for your demanded progress . that means you should buy more space next time . rate please !

How about reformat the memory stick. all stored files and folders will be destroyed after you format it. Eventhought you have taken all of the photos, you may have accidently recorded a video which has taken all of the memory space.

If it did not help, try a different compatable memory stick. If you got the same problem reinitialize your camera to the defaults.


GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can delete pictures from the camera. You can transfer the pics to your computer, then delete. Plug you camera into your computer, click start/computer/ double click on the drive that accesses your camera. From here, you can drag/drop pics or delete them or format the entire memory stick. If you need all of the pics and do not have a computer, you will need to purchase another memory stick.

You have a bad sector on the memory stick.

Download the data to a computer and format the stick.

Good luck.
