My camera switches itself off straight after I have taken a picture, and the picture does not save. Any help would be much appreciated, Kirsty

You have to ensure that the pictures are set to save automatically once you snap the pictures. It may have been set to just preview and then delete the pictures.
You have to specify that you want it to save the pictures once they are taken.
Also, you may have to change the camera mode to playback mode so as to enable the camera present all the pictures that have been taken and that are on the memory of the camera.
If it is still on the camera mode, you would not be able to view the pictures.
post the name and model of the camera for more help.

This sounds like power saving...some cameras allow you to set the time for power down. Go into the menu and see if you can find anything that would permit you to do that.

they like good high power batterys in them if there even a little run down the camera will turn off, also have a look at the settings is it set up for power saving,,,if so it will only stay on for a fuw seconds then turm its self off

Four possibilities:
(seriously)
1. No SD memory card in camera or not seated.
2. Using a 16GB (or larger) SDHC memory card - not supported
3. SD memory lock switch is on (on the memory card itself)
4. You may be "sliding" the shutter switch, which takes a picture but does not save it. This is used for testing your exposure. You must press the shutter button straight down (I know this sounds silly, but I had to post this for anyone else that may have a similar issue).

Hope this helps!










Which button or switch are you using to take a picture?

A file system error displays when saving a picture taken with the camera on the BlackBerry smartphone

Cause

The folder in which the BlackBerry smartphone saves pictures is a read-only folder.

4. Continue clicking Up until Media Card and Device Memory are options.

The camera is a wonderful Kodak product and takes beautiful 8.5 Megapixel photographs. When you save the pictures to an SD card, you must at some point remove them digitally from the card.
Either by linking it to the USB cable and going from there to your PC, OR by removing the SD card from the camera and inserting it into an SD card slot in your computer, printer, or card reader. Occasionally the card readers such as the ones in your PC, printer, or card reader devices do not connect properly and will only transfer part of the data, resulting in pink ugly lined photographs. This problem can be fixed by using the USB cable instead of the built in card readers in your other devices.

format ur memory card ....and replace the cells.....might work...contact the customer care for help ..they mightr be able to fix it ...

Once you took pictures without a memory card, all pictures taken will automatically be saved on the INTERNAL MEMORY of the camera.
When taking pictures with a memory card, all pictures are just saved on the memory card itself.
If you are seeing 100-757 on the LCD screen. It means that there are already 757 pictures taken from the first time you've used the camera.
It is possible that some of the pictures are in the internal memory and some are in the memory card.

STEPS to DOUBLE CHECK:
1) Remove memory card out of the camera
- Turn on camera
- View pictures on the internal memory
by just pressing on the PLAY mode button
(lowest of the 3 little buttons)
- Pictures seen are just the ones saved on the internal memory

2) Return memory card back in the camera
- Turn on camera
- View pictures on the internal memory
by just pressing on the PLAY mode button (
lowest of the 3 little buttons)
- Pictures seen are just the ones saved on the memory card itself

*** If you want to transfer pictures on the internal memory of the camera to your MEMORY CARD, you just have to follow the steps below:
- Make sure there is a memory card inside the camera
- Turn on camera
- Press on PLAY mode button to view pictures
- Press MENU/OK button
- Keep scrolling to the right until you see COPY TO CARD
- Select YES using the arrow keys
- Press MENU/OK to confirm
* When you've done these steps, all pictures from the INTERNAL MEMORY of the camera will be copied to your MEMORY CARD but it depends on the space left on your memory card

** If still, you could not view the pictures, it's possible that the pictures are really gone when you have transferred the previous pictures to your computer.

** Once you have transferred pictures to your PC, and you have deleted those on your camera, the FILE NAME of the pictures will not start from 100-001 again unless you have reset the file name on the settings of your camera.

In example, i already have 256 pictures on my camera so the filename reads 100-256 for the last picture taken. And then i decided to transfer those 256 pictures to my PC and i deleted those immediately after being transferred. So, as i took another picture, FILENAME will start with 100-257 if i have not reset
the FILE NAME settings to 100-001.

Hope i've helped you enough.

that particular image corrupted through not deleting properly. What to do? 1. Reformat the card in camera and sacrifice the images. 2. download recovery software and try to pull stuff off the card then reformat. download recovery software from www.pcinspector.co. or www.konvar.com.
