This camera cannot be upgraded to read SDHC cards. The maximum is 2Gb Secure Digital.

Photo transfer from the camera to a computer is usually done with a USB cable. For detailed instructions on how to transfer the pictures, check out the user manual:

Hi

Sounds like either your aperture is stuck shut so no light is getting into the lens, or the CCD is defective. The CCD is what changes the light into a digital signal for the camera to record.

If you find a defective camera with a good lens you can make one good camera from the two.

If you can't do it yourself, we are an affordable digital camera repair business (Google Darntoothysam) and can get pricing for you for a replacement lens. Most lenses are are able to install and ship back to the customer for only $70. If we can help please let us know.

Good luck from Darntoothysam com

If the message persists, take the camera to the nearest sevice center.

It cannot be fixed Arepair will cost as much as new camera So that is the way to go
