Pictures won't truly erase from my camera.

I download the pictures from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 and have them automatically erase from the camera once they're downloaded. When I check to see if the images are gone it seems fine. It says there are no images to view. But when I take new photos and download them, all the old ones download again, even though they don't show up on the camera.

    They download again. It is very strange. All I can think that is different is that I don't have the camera software loaded on my new computer. I tried to find it online but no luck. It's happening each time I try downloading on my computer (Asus 1000HE), on my husband's mac or on a clients pc laptop, none of which have the software from the camera them.

    They are downloading again. It is very strange. The only thing I can think might be the problem is that I'm loading them on computers that don't have the camera software loaded on them. I recently got a new computer and it's been happening since then. It also happens when I try to load them on other computers, so it's not just my computer. I tried to find the software online but no luck.

    Thanks for the help. I reformatted the card and it got rid of them. Cheers!

    Do you have any folders created on the memory card?

    Instead of erasing the pictures, have you tried formatting the card?

  • kakima May 11, 2010

    Are they downloading again, or do they simply already exist in whatever folder you download into?

    Try creating a new folder and downloading into it. If the old pictures download again, then something really strange is going on.

Are you using the computer to erase them? If so, your camera doesn't recognize any operations you do with your computer. The next time you finish the download, format the card in the camera to completely erase it.

I can't download photos from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18

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.

Panasonic lumix dmc fz18 won't zoom in or out after being dropped from a table. the camera can still take photos but not zoom on playback or while taking photos

The innards of modern DSLRs are precise and fragile. You need to contact a reputable repair shop ASAP. In addition to fixing your camera, they will clean the interior properly, eliminating dust particles that find their way to the CCD. The cleaning is something you should have done from time to time anyway, so just bite the bullet and take it in!

If you only need the software to download your pictures, you can do that with a separate card reader.
