How do I delete Pic from me Cyber Shot ? - Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S40 Digital Camera

Move the slide switch on the side of the card.

Hi, I'd suggest talking to where ever you get them printed as it's likely a setting on their computer doing that.

I don't think the problem is the driver. If you can get the shortcuts to copy over, then your connection is OK. The problem is that when you drag and drop, you are not getting a copy but a shortcut to the original. This seems to be the default behaviour of your drag and drop setting (or other method you are using to copy).

I assume you are using Windows Vista or 7, and I don't know how you change the default in those OS, but the work around is to drag and drop with the right-hand mouse button. Then a dialogue will pop up asking you to choose between (among other options) Move, Copy, or Create Shortcut. You will want to select Copy to make copies on your computer, or Move to copy to your computer AND delete the pic from the camera.

If your camera's memory is structured as most, you can treat the internal memory like any disk drive. If you have a PC with Windows, plug in your Sony via the USB port, go to 'My Computer' select a disk drive with a later letter than C or D and open it as you would any other drive. You may have nested folders requiring that you open several folders in succession. You will recognize having arrived when you have a bunch of individual files shown in Explorer with the suffix Sony uses (commonly .jpg) and you canmanipulate them as you would any other files, including deletion.

The file system that is setup gives a file name to each picture as they are taken. so like pic001, pic002, pic003, and so on.

so if you take those three pictures, and delete the second one, it does not rename all the pictures after it. It will just fill the hole. So for example,

you take three pics.

pic1 pic 2 pic3.

then you delete pic2.

pic1 --- pic3

Then you take your fourth pic, it becomes pic2, because that space is empty.

That is how the camera is programed. I don't believe there is any way to change it.

Its due to slow shutter speed setting.
If you want to take moving object picture, set high speed shutter, there would an icon of golf stick that is for moving object pictures.

Thanks, but the problem is not worth paying for a solution of. I was hoping for a freebie but......

put the camera in PLAY mode. Press the W button (zoom) at the top right of the camera. You should see a bunch of pics on the screen. Press the delete button. Select "DELETE ALL IN THIS FOLDER". Select OK.
