okay. i got a digital camera during the summer. I also got a memory stick too. (of course XD)

well,......i was using my camera today and all of a sudden, the screen froze and it says that theres no memory on the stick ":(
so theres no more memory on the stick left.... do i buy a new one? or do i charge it somehow?
and do i have to KEEP on buying new memory sticks?

someone help me T^T im going to the camera store this weekend...^^;;

can't you just transfer the pictures on your memory card to your
computer?

no i cant because my MEMORY STICK is the one that ran out of memory^^;; the pictures are fine because i sent them beforehand, but the stick itself is not

Ok, so, if I read your post right. Your camera says your memory card is full and you already transferred your pictures to your computer, right?

If I'm right, then all you need to do is delete the pictures or format it via camera/card reader.

^ well, i already deleetd all the pictures and my memory card says its used up its memory >_<
how do i format?

[DKYang]

There should be a format option in the camera options somewhere. I don't know where since I don't that camera. Another way is via My Computer. Open it up and see if you can see the icon for the camera/memory card and right click to see if it allows a format option.

True, what DKYang said.
If you're unsure, you should read your manual.
And even check on the net.

One further tip. Always format the card or stick on the camera. (In fact with some older cameras/cards I would have said always delete shots on the camera too) not from the PC with the stick mapped. Otherwise you may find that the camera either can't find free space on the card at all (no big deal, just do the format again there on the camera) or, worse, after storing, say, 20 shots it says there's no more space on the card, even though you know there is. That's more of a problem, because if you're out and about and don't have a spare card or stick, you have a nasty choice: either no more pix till you get home and can dump your latest shots to PC, or reformat so you can take more, but lose the day's earlier shots in the process. Happened to me once... Never again, I hope.

Sorry, that doesn't really make sense. Have you by any chance activated write protection on the stick? I don't have a stick to hand right now, so I don't recall if they have is such a thing, but on many cards there's a tab you can shove across that will prevent writing, deleting or formatting. That's so that you don't accidentally lose anything when, say, taking the card into a store to use a print machine. But with that set, you can't do anything in the camera except view existing shots. Of course, if you had activated write protection with the stick in the camera, it would then claim the stick was full, whether it is or not.

If you're still stuck, isn't there a camera store in your neighborhood where they could give you some advice if you took the stick in with you?

ohhhh kk thanks everyone^^

im going to the camera store this weekend to check thigns out^^;;

THANKS!!!!



you can close the topic

[awdark]

Hrm where did you buy this memory stick? I hope it wasnt on ebay... could be a fake memory stick so the chips aren't as good of a quality so they get corrupted.

The sony memory sticks that look like a stick of gum does have a write protect option on the bottom that looks like a little switch.
Eh if formatting doesn't work I wouldn't trust that card anymore. See if you have a warranty left on it, often those cards come with a pretty good warranty if they're real.

yea i got it at a camera store

im getting a new one^^;;
