Take it back and get a warranty exchange.

You're charging by connecting to a computer's USB port? The MSDC simply indicates that the camera recognizes the connection to the computer. It should go away when you disconnect the camera from the computer.

I believe your CCD chip has gone bad. If all other functions are working, it is definite the chip at fault. Unfortunately, the chip is not available for replacement. Also the repair cost may out weight the replacement cost.

There are now some software that is being use to retrieve deleted data from a digicam and other electronic device when you accidentally deleted the files or you reformatted the the device , check this link for some samples of data decovery software

Hope that helps..............

I suppose that your camera is Vivitar S529. For this camera you can download the english user manual from http://www.vivitar.com/files_products/1010/ViviCam_S529_Camera_Manual.pdf. You can find how to delete some of your photios at page 29, or you can format your card to delete all photos from your card (page 26).

Yes. You do it the same way you would get rid of any other unwanted element in the photos. Once the camera stamps the date onto the photo itself, the date is as much a part of the photo as the faces or anything else in the photo.

LCD or LCD cable is bad

should me via menu - settings - storage - format - internal memory if you are using a sd card just insert it into a computer and delete the ones you wish, formating and sd card will remove all photos

Page 1 of the manual, (still online) shows the camera. Number 5 is the USB port to charge the camera with an USB cable connected to a computer or to a 5V external USB charger. 20 is the battery cover. One it and the battery will come out. If you have an universal battery charger, it could charge the battery to.

on the underneath of the camera there's a little panel, and you just slide it towards the outside and it'll pop open. Hope that helps :D

There's a slide switch on the left of the camera near the USB port. Slide it away from the flower and toward the mountain.
