Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to find the manuals, drivers, downloads andsupport for Digital Cameras.

On my digital SLR there is a setting that you can change either to display the noise levels and picture, or turn it off. Check your manual and see how you can turn this feature off if you don't want it.

Here are some steps to run through to make sure the camera works as you'd expect it:

1. Ensure that all cables are properly secured from the computer to the camera.
   
2. Ensure that the memory card has not been dislodged from the camera.
   
3. Check the camera's memory socket and the memory card for debris. A can of 'compressed air' can work wonders (typically available at any computer store).
   
4. Make certain that the port connecting the camera to the computer is not damaged. Look for any bent pins in the camera's memory slot. Try replacing the camera cable. If the camera uses a USB port, try another USB port. If you don't have another USB port available, try plugging in another USB device to verify that the USB port is working.
   
5. Check the power source on the camera. If you're using batteries while attempting to transfer the pictures to the PC, try changing your batteries, recharge the batteries, or use an A/C adapter.
   
6. Try reinstalling the digital camera software on your computer. In most cases, reinstalling over top of the existing software will resolve this issue.
   
7. Take the media out of the digital camera and attempt to download it to another computer. If all else fails, try formatting the camera media. Most newer-generation digital cameras equipped with an LCD screen have a menu option that can format your media.

Hope this helps.

Remove the memory card from the camera, go into menu and locate format, follow the prompt to remove all pictures, when completed memory card can be installed and normal operation expected.

Your camera model can only use 2GB or less standard SD cards. Fortunately, 2GB standard SD cards are relatively inexpensive these days, and may be purchased on Amazon or eBay. There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Other causes include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card).
