Upon checking my tower I find I have 4 slots.
1. SmartMedia/xD
2.SD/Mini/MMC/RS/Plus/Mobile
3.CompactflashI/II/MD
4.MS/PRO/Duo/PRO Duo

2 and 4 are about the size of a chip?????????????????

Fran, like Cranky said...check & see if you have a slot for the chips.

fran open your camera and read the card and see what it says on the card what type of chip it is

Printers also have this option too.

Her camera is going to have the SD card...its like mine.

 

[FranC]

I have a SanDisk SDHC card 4GB.

 

[Crankyfuzz]

number 2 is where you want to put it and it will read it no need to use the cable and hook it up to puter since you have a reader

 

[FranC]

OK Whis so when I buy a chip it has to have SD on the pkg??

 

[Crankyfuzz]

fran it is much cheaper to buy a sd card online then in most stores newegg.com is a good place to get them

 

[whiskey]

Thats right(SD)...but the 4gb one you have will hold tons...so you don't really need another for a while, unless you think you'll be taking mega amounts of pictures...on the packaging of that card it will tell you how many pic's the card will hold, but remember the higher the pixel setting the less amount of pictures, you should set you camera in the midrange for pixel.

 

[FranC]

Yes that was my thought too. I'll check NewEgg against Amazon.

Whis and Cranky thanks for the camera/chip lesson. I know I'll be back for more. LOL

OK another question. How do I set the pixels. I didn't change anything so it must have a default setting.

 

[Crankyfuzz]

no problem I have a 4gb card in my camera and with the right settings you really don't need another card as long as you empty it occasionally onto your computer remember one thing organization from the beginning is your friend

 

[whiskey]

Menu...get to the menu on your camera...browze through until you see where you can set the pixel....

 

[Crankyfuzz]

whiskey i just noticed your location I looked behind me unless your a 15 pound chihuahua your not right behind me

 

[whiskey]

[whiskey]
