Yes, you can erase the photos on the card, but make sure you have your images on your hard drive and preferably, on a flash drive, too. You can never be too careful. I feel it is best to format the card IN THE CAMERA to insure reliability. Will it affect the numbering system? Yes and no, it depends how you have your camera set up. If you have selected Continuous numbering, formatting will return you to #1 with most cameras. If it is important to you to keep the numbers sequential, then erase instead of formatting. The size of the card has nothing to do with the clarity of the image.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When transferring the photos to my computer, instead of copy and paste; try cut and paste. That way the files are removed from the disk and frees up space.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can definitelty delete all the data on your memory card once you transfer all your data in a computer or other storage device. It would not reduce the space on your card by just deleting over and over. Having higher storage capacity card or a lower does not affect the quality of the photos. If you cut a cake in 16 or 32 or 64 slices it would taste the same as other slices, right. Maybe a wrong example but you get my point.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Concerning erasure of the card: that's something you pretty much have to do at least periodically if you want to continue using it to take more pictures. Typically I connect my camera with the card in it to my computer via the USB port; this can also be done using a card reader if you have one. Most cameras come with a cable to allow this. Some come with software that lets you manipulate the images as files while connected. Personally I think it's easier to forgo that and just use File Explorer which will treat your connected camera like a removable hard drive. You can view the photos on your card in that way, copy them and paste them to a new or existing folder on your computer, and of course delete them from the card when the card is getting full. Simply select the photos you want to remove and press the Delete key on your keyboard. I don't know exactly what effect deleting has on the numbering system, but I've done it many many times and I've never had the camera produce a duplicate number. The size of the card has no bearing on the type or clarity of the photos. Those numbers refer to storage space on the card in gigabytes. All it means is that you can store about twice the number of photos on the 64 as on the 32, assuming of course that the individual photos on both cards are the same file sizes. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is ok to erase the photo on the card after saving. The number system is done on you camera not the card. It always best to erase the card on your camera by formating the card to your camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have always been told by professional photographers and online to re format in the camera instead of just deleting them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes! if you decide to erase it I recommend formatting it from your computer and if possible you can do it on the camera so that will erase everything on the card putting the card back to it's original state when you first bought it. If you bought a 64GB and you uses 35GB and you format it, it will put the card back to 64GB, it will not cause any negative affect. The right way to erase a card is to format it, unless you just took a picture and you didn't like and want to delete it, if so that's fine. 64 or 32 are storage indication on the card showing you how much space it can take, does not measure clarity and quality of the photo, that's up to the camera you have.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I occasionally delete some photos on my card. I've never deleted them all. My partial deletes have not changed the numbering system on the card. They can either be erased from the computer or from the camera. I usually do it from the computer after I've transferred the pictures to the computer and made a back up. The size of the memory card has no effect on the clarity of the pictures. Your camera should give you choses as to how many megapixels you take your pictures at. THAT will effect the clarity. The size of the memory card determines how many pictures you can take before your card is full. If your card is 32 or 64 GB, you can take thousands of pictures before it gets full. I have a 64 GB card that I used last week to take an hour long HD movie of a special event. I still have room for a couple more hours of filming before it's full. You can take LOTS of pictures!! Smile!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I usually delete the photos from windows. As for numbering, when I import them into my Adobe Elements software they are organized by date.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is ok to erase the card if you've stored the info / pix to another location. Go to my computer, double click on the card you want to erase, open it, highlight all the stuff you want to erase and hit the "delete" button on the keyboard. It will ask if you want to continue and hit "yes". The numbering will start over at 001. Size of the card on determines how many they can hold - has no affect on clarity whatsoever.
