Memory card needs formatting.

Do you have the optional sd memory card instaleld in the camera?


Have you formated the sd memory card or MMC card as suggested on page 37 of the user manual.
on page 36 on image storage settings = If set on Auto it uses the external card if there is one installed rather than the internal memory.

You need to have a memory card installed in the camera !
see page 5 of the user manual.

You may have your camera set to store pictures in internal memory, if so change it back to auto storage. The memory card may need to be formatted. Download your pictures from the camera using the Easy Share software.Try looking for settings at: http://resources.kodak.com/support/shtml/en/manuals/urg00775/urg00775toc.shtml

Are you sure that isn't "internal" memory card is full message?

Sometimes, when "internal memory card is full" there is no more space in the camera's internal memory. Your camera has 16 MB of internal memory. The number of pictures you can store depends on the picture size setting you have selected on your camera. Keep in mind that the camera always uses internal memory, even if a card is installed (auto default).

If really, the problem is in the "SD memory card", I suggest make some backup all files and reformat the SD. Try formatting it in the camera, there should be a process in your owners manual for doing this; donw formatted SD in your computer, isn't good.

Hope helps.

Your camera won't write to the card as long as pictures remain in the internal memory. You must get rid of those first. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory.

Your camera is only supporting SD/MMC Cards (up to 2 GB) and KODAK SDHC Cards (up to 8 GB).
The card that you currently have might be faulty. Please try another card.
You might also need to switch the camera over to saving pictures directly onto the SD card.1: Menu, Cam settings, Chose AUTO or SD card option Press OK
Note: If the SD card isn't in the camera or is unreadable the camera will automatically go back to saving you taken pictures on the internal memory.

Simple. Power on the camera, then plug the USB cable from the camera to your computer.

If you're using Windows XP or higher, a menu box will appear and you'll be prompted to select one of these programs to view the picture content. I elected to close this window and instead, I clicked on the My Computer icon on the desktop. From there, you'll see the Easy Share camera listed. Double click on that (assuming you're using the internal memory of the camera - otherwise, if you're using an SD Card - which I haven't tested as I just got the camera as a 15 year gift from my company and I am now testing it - otherwise using an SD card, the camera/card will appear in Windows Explorer/My Computer, as a removable drive).

Once you click on the camera (or the removable drive if you're using an SD card), select all those picture files and copy. Open another My Computer or Windows Explorer and create a new folder and past the files into the new folder, or just create a new folder on the Desktop, and paste the copied files into there. Simple.

Try to check the Memory card if it is compatible with your new camera. To know this you need to read the owners manual and try to check the directions on putting your memory card. Your memory card must be check also from a computer if it is still functional. If you have files like old pictures try to save to that card. if the save files are opened then your memory card is working. But if is not then your card needs to be reformat. if it cannot be formatted thats the end of its life. You need to have a new one.

Please reply if it works or not. To give you more advices.

If you format the card, the pictures are gone leaving you with a blank memory card.

Format the card in your camera, then load it up in your computer and see if the cycle goes away.

Once you get a picture on the memory card and in your computer, keep an eye on the memory specs reporting on the computer and see if there is anything unusual. I've heard of a few defective cards but its rare.

If you used the SD/MMC memory card in another brand of camera or device, you may need to format the card in your new EasyShare digital camera. (You may have noticed a "Memory Card Needs Formatting" message when you inserted the card.) CAUTION: Formatting deletes all pictures and videos, including those that are protected. Removing a card during formatting may damage the card. To format the SD/MMC memory card or the internal memory of the camera: Transfer images to the computer before formatting the memory card. Press the camera Menu button. Highlight SETUP MENU, and then press the OK button. Highlight FORMAT, and then press the OK button. Highlight an option - MEMORY CARD (deletes everything on the card), CANCEL (exits without formatting), or INTERNAL MEMORY (deletes everything in internal memory). Press the OK button. Highlight Continue, and then press the OK button. Wait until formatting is finished before removing the card. When formatting is complete, the SETUP MENU is displayed. Press the Menu button to exit the menu.
