I removed Sand-Disk from my Olympus E-510camera was OFF. Disk did not fit my PC slot, I put the Disk back to camera. However when I switch camera On, the camera showed Disk Full No Pictures.

SD cards have a slide lock switch to enable/disable write protection on one side. Check if you flipped the switch to the locked position when you put the card into the camera. (The switch will be on the left side of the card. That's the side without the angle cut out.) It's locked when the switch is towards the contact area that goes into the card slot. When you put the card back into the camera, use care to avoid accidentally moving the switch. If the switch moves very easily, you should probably replace the SD card. In that case, sometimes the lock will enable as the camera is moved.

If that doesn't help, copy the pictures that are currently on the SD card to another device. Then try to reformat the card. (You may need to try to reformat it on another device. Put the card into a card reader on your computer. Then use the Disk Management commands on the computer. For Windows XP and later, this can be found under the System and Security Control panel near the bottom of the page.)

If the lock switch has been damaged, you may be able to temporarily disable the lock by trimming any remaining plastic from inside the lock groove and then covering the groove with Scotch tape or a similar product. (Make sure not to cover the contacts or leave the tape lumpy enough to keep the card from fitting into the card slot.) Plan on replacing the card soon.

I hope this helps.

Put in another SD or SDHC memorycard to test if it is the camera or the memorycard which is faulty. Are you sure you put in the correct type of card? Only SD / SDHC will fit correctly in the camera.

If this is a brand new camera, it's supposed to work with no problems. Take it back.

either a built in card reader... your looking for an XD slot if you have an olympus camera. otherwise you can plug your camera into the computer via a usb cable plugged into the camera and the usb port on the front of your pc. if not then invest in an external card reader. one of those will do the trick i'm sure!

Take your memory card out and move the tiny plastic switch on it to "unlock" or whatever it says. If that doesn't help, try another card. If that still doesn't help, come back and we'll try something else!

The camera has one xD slot, and is supplied with an adapter which fits into the slot if you wish to use micro-SD cards. Regular SD and mini-SD cards will not fit.

try to rest your camera and see if that works

Not know the age of the card, is seems that it is faulty and needs to be replaced.

If the batteries are a common type, install them into another device to see if they really are still OK or buy a cheap digital multimeter or battery tester.
The latter can be bought at the chain hardware stores or Radio Shack and draw some current to lightly test the load capabilities of them.

These batteries do fail to a short; NICads are the worst but lithium ion and NiMh can fail as well.
The 'sand' diagnosis may be right but what you describe could still be only batteries.

Hi,

Did you buy the proper memory card? Your camera supports only XD cards.
