Digital Cameras Holidays Tips

Digital cameras are so busy during these happiness holidays, how to avoid your camera “strike” is a important thing for the one who don’t use camera for a long term.This is my post from my Blog: Digital Cameras After Holidays.

You digital cameras should have done lots of work during your happiness holiday. And I had found that, there are several problem about digital cameras asked by users online for so many times.

For many common users as me, don’t use the camera most often. And only pick it up at holidays or there is a trip. And at the most important moment the camera’s “strike” will cause lots of troubles.

So today, I’d like to share some useful idea about the common problems with you all.

Fist, this is about the the digital camera display that “turn power off and on again“, and as you have to do as it suggested, the same message will appear again. This problem is most common on some model of Sony’s digital camera, and I had post a post about it before in my blog.

The other problem is about the digital camera SD card is clocked.

If you meet this problem, the first thing is to check out that, the lock switch is off. If this switch will solve your problem, you are very luck, else, the problem will be a little trouble.

If you have try several cards on your camera or computer, and show all are locked, the problem will be on your camera or computer. If its for your camera, you should to change a card slot; if it’s for your computer, there maybe miss of a software drive in the CD comes with your camera, or something wrong with your card reader. For this situation, change a card read will solve the problem, and I have a suggest that use card reader instead of  connect the camera to computer to avoid the problems about camera and computer.

And there is a very similar question is that alway some users find that their computer can’t recognize camera, or has recognized but there was nothing can be seen. Usually this problem won’t found out in Win7 system, but for the other, you often need to install the driver softer ware on the CD which comes with your camera before you what to load the pictures to your computer. Or you can use a card reader for conveniently, it needn’t a driver and can be used directly.

And the third question asked for many time is some pictures can’t be read by camera, and display “format error”. For my experience this problem should appear after you have watch your picture on your computer and then some picture will be “miss” when your see it on the LCD of your camera. This problem doesn’t matter, and your pictures have miss, you may have edit the picture on your PC, as you have a flipping of it. And the camera system is so different form the PC system, and the camera can’t realize the pictures edited by the PC. You also can saw these pictures on your computer.

Then there is a common question, often some users asked that,why their camera battery won’t be charged when they connect it to PC. Here I’d like to say that, not all the cameras will charge the battery when you connect it to PC by the USB cable. For some model of cameras you have to use a USB communication transformer most like MP3/MP4/Mobile USB Power Adapter to connect your camera and PC together and the battery will be charge, some of these cameras comes withe this USB communication transformer, but some not.

At last, I also have some tips for the friends who don’t use the camera frequently. Clean your camera first when you use it after a long term of rest. To do this is to clean the connect place of the battery and battery box to make sure a good connection. If you use it in cold winter, maybe you’d like to know the Important Camera Tips In Winter.
