How do I delete old pictures off my finepixA500 camera

YOU HAVE TO DELETE THEM ON A COMPUTER OR A VIEWER FROM MOULTIRE

The quickest way to delete the photos is to format the memory card.
Go to the camera's Menu and scroll through the settings to Format memory card.

Hello there. Memory cards have a memory, but not the way you are worried about. The cards can be used over and over again and store the pictures that the camera is taking as it takes them but if you delete the pictures from the camera's delete button, the memory card will be clean and ready to take new pictures and as someone suggested, you can go into the menu of the camera and use the "select the FORMAT your card option" which will wipe out all picture information and leave the memory card clean and ready to record new pictures again. Old pictures are history, never to be seen by other human eyes. :)

The camera might have saved those picture on it's internal memory and not the memory card, hence why you see old pictures that you say you have deleted and new ones do not appear.

if you can't find the option to delete them on your camera, when you have uploaded them to your computer windows will give you the option to delete them.thats what i use to delete pics from camera.hope this helps

After downloading to your computer, format the card in the camera to completely erase it.

It depends on the brand or model of camera you are using, but if you cant get how to delete a picture from your camera, simply get a card reader, then remove the memory card of the camera and insert it into the card reader, connect the card reader with your computer, so from your computer you will be able to delete old picture. But I still know that most digital cameras should be able to delete old pictures, simply read your camera manual to see how to delete or you tell me the model and brand of the camera that you are using.

The new XD cards are very fast and you did not say how you deleted the memory but your best bet is to use your computer to delete and you can verify that it was done. Be careful in handling and inserting the cards the alignment is critical. I accidentally sparked some old memory and lost all of my pictures. This is the reason I upgraded to the XD type of camera. I save all on my drive before I delete any. You may find the new pictures in a different area using your computer.

Try formating your memory card. Should be somewhere under your settings menu
