Q: QuestionI TRIED USING THE CAMERA, MEMORY CARD IN, AND WHEN I CHECKED THE PLAYBACK AND I GOT" MEMORY CONTAINS NO IMAGES". IS THERE A PROBLEM WITH THE CARD?

Asked 9 years ago by Manny.

• A:Answer I assume that you formatted the SD card before using it. If your computer can accept SD cards you may want to insert the card and check the DCIM folder for any photos. It there are any photos on the card you will see them in one of the sub-folders. If the card is functioning properly you will be able to see how much space is available on the card using the camera.
