Casio EX-Z500 memory: internal vs card
I just picked up this camera new last week. It has some internal
memory space which I'd like to use to permanently store copies of some photos. I've found how I can copy a photo from the card into the internal memory, but what's in the internal memory does not show in the playback mode unless I first eject the card. This also makes it impossible to copy such an image +back+ to the card later. Am I missing something? Or is this supposed to be a one-way procedure. What if I had taken these pictures without a card in the camera, how would I get them onto the card? I +can+ connect the cradle to a USB port on my computer (USB hub, actually), but I'd rather not. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol If I Am Ever the Sidekick... 14.

I'm trying to NOT connect a bunch of things to my computer. The more items I connect to it, the more drivers it self-installs. The more drivers it installs, the slower the system gets because the more overhead there is. I think that's my point: Why can I, with just the camera, copy a photograph from the card to the internal memory, but not from the internal memory to the card? Ask the camera manufacturer. If no one else can answer the question, I will. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol Tips for evil cult members: 13.

Also, I can't understand why you want to use your camera's limited internal memory for permanent storage. Wouldn't a CD be better? Because I can't just whip out a CD and say, "...and this is a picture I took of X." Since this camera is small enough to fit in a pocket, it's with me most of the time. As such, I +can+ use it as a mobile photo viewer. So I figured that since it has an internal memory, to retain as much space as possible on the card for new photos, I'd put ones I want to always have available in the internal memory instead. I then discovered that with the card in the slot, stuff on the internal memory isn't visible. It feels like a half-finished feature. -- Jeffrey Kaplan www.gordol.org The from userid is killfiled Send personal mail to gordol "People out there listening know what I believe.
