please help memory card question?

Question

once you have taken all the photos you are able to takeon a memory card if you delete them are you able to reuse it?

Answer 1

Yup. It's just like a blank tape once you delete them.

If you are SURE that you no longer need the photos on your card, look for the "format" function in your camera. This will erase all of the pictures at once.

If you want to keep some of the pictures on your card, you can probably mark a bunch for deletion and then do it all at once, but you will have to look this up in your owners manual to see how it is done.

You might be stuck deleting them one-by-one. If you are, I'd suggest you get a card reader and use "Windows Explorer" to open the card as a drive and delete them that way. It's WAY faster and then you will have the card reader for future use. I'll add my generic "card reader" response so you can figure out how to do this.

If you get a card reader, no additional software is necessary. This is not only faster, but it saves your camera batteries. Your computer or printer may even have a card reader built into it. I have enough USB ports that I just leave it plugged in all the time.

First of all, be sure there are some pictures on the card. Plug the card reader into an open USB port. Plug the card into the appropriate slot on your card reader. I use Photoshop Elements and as soon as I plug my card into the reader, it starts its own card reader and displays a thumbnail of every picture on the card.

If this does not happen automatically, open your photo editing software. Do whatever you usually do to open a file, but click on the selector where you can change drives. Your card reader will be assigned a new drive name that will be one letter higher than you ever saw before, such as "Drive G:" or such. Then, just double click on the name of the file you want to open and it will appear in your photo editor.

Answer 2

Yes, memory cards are similar to most other storage devices, once full they can be cleared and re-used for further data/photos/music files. It is not necessary to remove all from memory, if you wish to remove only some files then this can be done, may take a bit of time, perhaps best to download all onto PC and select, then reinstall any you want to retain on memory card in phone

Answer 3

If your saying reuse the card yes, but thats a lot of photos to delete

Answer 4

If there are vacant slots for specific amounts of memory then that means the motherboard is designed to operate at the expected speed of the combined amount of memory. For example, if you have 4 vacant slots and they were designed for either 512MB or 1GB each slot. Meaning, the motherboard is expected to operate at 2048MB or 4GB tops which is the limit. Since 2GB is more than enough of RAM then you could discard the two 512MB memory sticks. Depending on you operating system (if it is Vista or XP), 2GB is already beyond the golden target which was 512MB. No matter how much multi-tasking you do and how much 3D effects your computer performs, I'm certain that memory consumption would not exceed 1GB yet. And that is everything from multi-tasking to 3D effects. The remaining 1GB is nothing.

Answer 5

You can always burn the files to CD or DVD to store them, then delete the images from your card. Then you can use the CD to make prints from later. Just check the CD to be sure the pictures are there BEFORE you delete the card!
