i bought one 2day, tried a lot to make it work. but i was unlucky.the prob is watever u choose to snap or record video, when u press the shutter,
it shows "directory index full" i changed 3 cards(sd&mmc), still no working.
:(

Hi two questions.

1) Are your cards locked?

2) Are your cards full?

no, card was just formatted.
i dun kno whether it was locked?
how to check?

:)

If you can format the card, it was not locked. The memory cards have a little switch on the side that will either be unlocked or the "locked" position. The card should have the word "locked" written on the card to tell you whether it is locked or not.

If the card is not locked, it is possible the device you purchased (I do not think you bought it from us) is defective.

thx 4 ur answer, i m afraid it could be the last possibility OMG!

My pictures and videos get deleted off of the card everytime the camera shuts down. Can anyone help?

A friend has one of these cameras, she hasn't been able to use it, she lost the instructions and have no software. What do we need to start up? and to be able to load pics and video on the computer.

i just brought one of these cameras i was just after something cheap for taking a few snaps and the odd video but it wont recognize my sd card it just says check card switch regardless of what button i press i cant even format the card in the camera it wont take photos and it wont take video.......and dont even get me started on the bundled software, anyone got any suggestions or is it a dud

i should have also said i have checked the card and it is unlocked and it works fine in another camera and in the card reader on my PC so i know the card is fine

my camera does the same thing it says memory index full! what the heck does that mean? my card is not locked i checked it, and i dont know how to format?????
it did work twice though, but as soon as it automatically shut off it goes back to directory index full. someone please help.

it works for a little while. like it is workin right now. but i know as soon as i shut it off, it will say "DIRECTORY INDEX FULL" WHY?

hi. i am glad i found this site thru a google search of the camera name as like everyone else the book says nothing about their website or help. i bought the camera new from ebay power seller & i will be putting a note about all these queries on my page there.
i also cant get the CD to download the drivers!!
an error message says there is no device to read a wave file!
altho when i right click the drive where the CD is & select explore i was ablt to download the 2 software progs for video & pics.
but none of that helps if the pc doesnt install the camera.
anyone have the drivers for the DV182F model please? maybe that will make it work.
re the pic taking mine worked fine with new batteries & i used a hp printer with card reader to upload them.
touch wood!
btw some parents should be suing the ed dept there are a lot of spelling mistakes on here or poss just bad typers like me ! :]
thank you everyone..
