my camera will not work. help?




MewMew


its a digital camera.. its fairly new. i took a bunch of pics and vids today and then i uploaded some pics from a friends computer onto my memory card. when i got home, my computer will not recognize the camera. when i try to look at the pics, it says "the camera is in use, try again later". if i take the memory card out, it recognizes the camera. i can look at all the pics/vids on the actual camera fine, but my comp wont let me upload them. what do i do?
ok, its not that new.. couple months old.. ive installed everything. its always worked before.



Answer
The only problem you might have is the MP size of the photos. Some pictures with too high or low MPs would not show on my camera, but all show up on the computer. Resizing did not help, but could edit for red eye and the camera could still show the picture. Also, you will need to use a memory card reader. On the computer you will be able to see the folders on the memory card that your camera cannot show.

Skip to copy from the computer to a memory card near the middle of this answer.

Have known the following, but just saw the proof. Received an e-mail with 1.2MP photos from an I-phone and copied these to my camera memory card. These pictures were about half the width of my 3MP pictures on the camera card which had been formatted. The old pictures were still there on both sides of the 1.2MP I-phone pictures.

Formatting a memory card starts a new File Allocation Table. Pictures are not removed from memory cards with delete or format. When old pictures are replaced with new pictures then the old pictures are really gone.

When pictures have been deleted or memory cards have been formatted, a memory card reader will be needed to recover the pictures.

The following information describes a better way to move/copy photos to and from a computer and memory card.

If your computer has memory card slots, find the correct slot and copy pictures from the memory card to the computer.

If there are no memory card slots on your computer that work with your memory card, purchase a Targus card reader at Walmart for $8.88 or another brand for less at Ritz/Wolf/Kit camera. Also, they do 3½ x 5" digital prints for 6¢ each on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Just received some pictures in an e-mail which I moved to the computer. Then copied these pictures to a memory card and could view them on my camera or show on TV.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged, format in camera, and don't delete or fill card completely. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

After you have the memory card plugged in, go to My Computer and open the memory card, select the picture you want to copy, and then copy to the My Pictures folder under My Documents under Documents and Settings.

If you have trouble with this, it may be easier to right click on Start and then left click Explore. Find and select the picture you want to copy and then at top left, click the X next to Folders to see a place to select Copy Files. Now select the My Picture folder. Make and select a sub folder then click Copy.


You can also copy from the computer to a memory card.

Have just been playing with this and found that it works really well, but you should first format the memory card in the camera because it adds files to the card you will need.

Next, take a picture of something with the camera.

Place the memory card in the card reader and go to My Computer.

Open the memory card and you should see a folder on the left (DCIM) that has your picture. Do not open the MISC folder on the right.

Double Click on the DCIM folder and you should see another folder e.g.,100HPM417, which includes the name of your camera. Double Click on that folder and you should see the picture you just took.

When you copy from the computer to a memory card, that is the folder where your pictures must be copied. You may only be able to copy one picture at a time.

One last thing, the file names of your pictures must not have any additional letters or those pictures will not be seen by the camera. Also, the file name format must match the file name of the picture you took e.g., HPIM1903. Rename files to the same format as your camera photos.

If you have trouble with this, it may be easier to right click on Start and then left click Explore. Find and select the pictures you want to copy and then near the top left, click the X next to Folders to see a place to select Copy files. You can then select the memory card folder e.g.,100HPM417, that you clicked to see the picture you took and click Copy.

Is a 2 MP Camera phone better than a VGA Camera phone?

Answer
A digital picture is composed of pixels. the number of pixels in the horizontal axis multipled by the number of pixels in the vertical gives the total number of pixels.

The VGA resolution is 640x480=0.3MP

A VGA camera phone is one which can capture that number of pixels in a shot. However, some phones can mathematically interpolate to give a higher resolution even up to 2MP.

Check the documentation on the phone or better read the reviews to be sure it is a true 2MP and not interpolated.

In that case, yes! a 2MP phone is way better that a VGA phone.
