Kingston 2GB Memory Card + Nikon Coolpix S51?
Hi guys (: I have a Nikon Coolpix S51 camera and a Kingston 2GB SD memory card that I use for my camera. I noticed that there’s a number on my camera’s screen and it decreases everytime I take a picture/video. When I erase images from my camera, the number goes back up. But when I upload the pictures onto my computer, the number stays down, even if I delete the images from my camera.
So, my question is, when the number goes down to zero, do I have to buy another memory card (about $35)? I thought that I can just upload the images onto my computer and then the memory space goes backs up, but it doesn’t seem that way and now I’m really confused. I THINK that I started off with like 1000 memory space, now its down to about 700.
Does this mean that this type of memory card can only take about 1000 images/videos/audio files that can be uploaded onto a computer, and then I’d have to buy another one? ):
As you use any camera, the number of available images decrease until you fill the roll of film or memory card. This is normal
You need to stop deleting images from your memory card … this can result in the corruption of the card and the images on it.
After you have moved all your images to your computer, format the card using the format feature on your cameras menu. This will refresh your card and it will then be ready for new image files. You should be able to format your memory card about 20,000 times before you have to worry about buying a replacement
DO NOT try to format it using the computer format feature … you may damage the card.
Remember to back up all your images by buring a CD from time to time
