Hi

Just got a FZ28 and find I cant delete photos from the PC using the USB
connection.
Just get "write protect" message (on PC).
The SD card I am using was formatted on the camera and is not write
protected.
The delete function on the camera works as does using a card reader.

Is this normal Panasonic FZ28/FZ18 operation ?

Thanks


When transferring picture files from an SD card to the PC, in Windows Explorer
with both Panasonic Lumix and Pentax cameras, I always "move" the relevant
files, rather than "copy" them, and that automatically deletes them
on the SD card.

Perhaps I should add that I move them en bloc to a new folder on the PC, and
then afterwards delete any that I don't want to keep, from the folder on the PC.

They can of course also be deleted using the camera alone.

That doesn't answer your question directly I suppose, only questions
why you'd ever want or need to delete pictures on the camera using the
PC in the first place, unless you'd just transferred them across.
