Try removing then reinstalling your card, if this does not work try a different card that one may be defective.
How do I get the images from the camera to my
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

The A402 works with MMC and SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible. You need to use cards 2GB and smaller.

When i try to turn
I believe that is a "low battery" error. You need to change the battery(ies). Check that your charger is working correctly as well if you are using the rechargeable batteries. (The camera takes 2 AAs, 2 rechargeable AAs (SNB-2312 or SBP-1303) or 1 CR-V3). If new batteries do not help, check the contacts in the battery compartment for corrosion or bent contacts. Often a pencil eraser used gently can remove the first problem. Gently unbend any bent contacts.
After you put in new batteries, you can change your language setup. Press Menu (when not in voice record mode), use the left/right arrows to choose Setup (Ajustage) (the icon reads SET with a crescent in the upper left). Use the up/down to select the third item in the list (Language/Langue) and press the right arrow. Use the up/down arrows to highlight English (Anglais) at the top of the list. Press the OK button. Press Menu twice to get the menu to disappear.
I hope this helps.
