Why does my camera say memory full when ive took no pictures?

Question

i have a samsung s1030 which is 10mp and today i bought a 8gb sd memory card for it, but when its inserted my camera says memory full when ive took no pictures. am i doing something wrong? ive already formatted the memory card twice!

Answer 1

maybe your camera is set to save to the camera memory, if it has that function?

or take the memory stick back and say its faulty and get a new one =]

Answer 2

Hey

Its not working because you have brought a SDHC card, these are not compatible with standard SD devices.

Answer 3

it shouldnt be full. because the camera has internal memory. you shoud contact samsung or the store you got it from to assist you  

Answer 4

bummer

Your camera cannot use the type of memory card you purchased more specificaly the size of card. It is made to use a sd(scan disk) card not the sdhc (scandish high capacity). Here is a link to samsung1030.

Internal memory: Approx.45MB flash memory

External memory: MMC/SD card (Up to 2GB Guaranteed)

   you can use a sd 2gig maximum... sdhc will not work..sorry

Answer 5

Hi im not sure why it can be saying this ,but all I know is that sometimes when you insert a new SD card you have to format it first there is a function on the camera that should allow you do do this, it will tell you in the manual, also check to see if the card isnt lock, there should be a little grey thing on the side that slides up and down on the SD card, see if its on lock if it is unlock just move it down then try it, if that doesnt work then format the card.
