Panasonic FZ28 or FZ18 deleting photos
"robert" wrote in message ... robert wrote: 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 Update Just had a reply from Panasonic - I had given up waiting !. "Camera seen as read only device by PC , so cannot delete pictures via PC" So thats sorted that out; had no problem doing this with SONY cameras. Did you tell them what Operating Stem you are using ? Because whether or not files are read only in Windows is a file attribute not a device or directory attribute. This screenshot shows one of the directories on my Panasonic DCMFZ7 - named as "Removable Disc" in Windows - with the read only check-box unchecked. These files will be deleted when the files are moved. http://i38.tinypic.com/2hocl5e.jpg The only confusion arises because only files, not directories or devices can be set to read-only. But to set files as read-only or not in Windows its necesary to click the box in the directory pane. To enable files to be deleted on moving its necessary to uncheck this box, if the default is set to read only. To set individual files to read only it would be necesary to use the DOS or CMD attrib command. michael adams .... Thanks for all the comments, will carry on working my way through the rest of the menu options of my new toy. |

I assume it is quite possible to make the "read only" or write protect part of the USB driver. |

I would have thought the drivers that come with all Panasonic cameras would offer the same functionality with all the Windows OS's. The above was 98 SE but I use my XP SP2 machine with the Pentax K200D - and that deletes files when they're moved o.k. So it can't be a problem with XP up to SP2 at least. michael adams .... michael adams .... |

I have seen something similar when a system had been limited/protected in group policies for some reason. Even as administrator you couldn't delete things if it wasn't allowed in group policies. If the system has ever been on a server controlled network this may be the case. Secret Squirrel -- Ingrid Rose clandestin.ecureuil(insert missing symbol here)gmail.com |
