I put newly charged panasonic evolta batteries into my Pentax E10. Took a couple of photos. Then plugged the connector into the computer and managed to transfer one photo into my photos library, but not the second photo, because the computer told me the USB device was taking too much power and the port was being deactivated. Now when I put the connector into the port, the computer gives me the same message straight away, before I've even attached the camera to the other end. What's the problem?

    Since the message "The USB device is using too much power. The hub it is connected to has been deactivated" appears before I've even connected the camera to the connector, I suppose it may mean that the connector iss faulty? The camera is functioning normally.

When you reboot the computer, that message should go away. Use an external SD card reader and transfer your photos that way. They are inexpensive and relieves the need to connect the camera to the PC. It will transfer your photos much quicker too

SOURCE: Transferring photos

Had exact same problem. Here the solution:
Choose playback, then "Mode" button will bring you Slide show options menu. Navigate to Image/Sound Copy Item.
You'll find options to copy from/to internal memory/flash card there

SOURCE: My camera shows CARD LOCKED

Try taking the card out of the camera and clicking the side of the card - there may be a little gap on one side of the card or a small button that you can slide up and down and then reinsert your card.

SOURCE: won't turn on even with new batteries

Clean the battery contacts inside the camera with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.

After i turn on my Optio E10, it shuts off right away even after i put in new batteries.
Sounds like a memory card problem. Try using A 512mb San Disk SD Card. Not a San Disk SDHC card. see if that doesn;t help you out. Good-Luck

Hi - I am trying to connect to my computer to print pictures of my Pentax Optio E10, but I am not getting a recognition from the computer when I plug my camera in.
Try 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.

Optio E10 Keeps running thru batteries, I bought a new 8 pk for a field trip with my sons school, I took 5 pictures and had to change batteries, placed in anew set and it wouldn't turn on. waited about 15...
This sounds very much to me like a short circuit causing the batteries to drain so quickly. The most common cause would be moisture or water damage. Another likely cause could be a malfunction of the control circuits causing the unusual power drain. ie the camera may be continuously charging the flash.
It may be time to consider this camera has seen better days and find a replacement, unless of course it is still under a warranty.

PROBLEM WITH PENTAX OPTIO E10
It could be that the battery can't hold a charge anymore.

You will probably have to get a new battery.

Make sure the camera is working fine and that youre able to take pictures with the power cord plug in. If that works it isn't the camera, it's the battery.

PROBLEM WITH PENTAX OPTIO E10
Sounds like battery life is gone. If there rechargeable batteries they might not be holding a charge anymore.

If your camera has a power cord that plug into your camera to charge the battery does it do the same thing?

If it doesn't have a power cord, what happens when you plug the camera into your computer?

Memory card locked!??
The card locked usually means 'protected' Check out the manual for image protection - on/off. Or put card back into computer and delete[NOT FORMAT] from there. A more comprehensive manual is usually found the the CD that came with the camera
