samsung digimax S700 says its memory is full. I can't see any icon or anything for emptying it. Can you help?
 
Solution
Did you see any error messages? If it didnt show up as a drive in Windows Explorer but look in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management to see if it shows as a disk?

Can yousee photographs you've taken when you view them in the camera?
If you can connect it to a PC or laptop, you can save the contents to the computer and make space at the same time. Most cameras come with a USB lead for that purpose.
 


 
When I connected my camera to the computer it didn't even acknowledge its existence. I tried a new memory card and that doesn't work either.

Any other ideas?
 
Ah - it has a removeable card - that's helpful. You could connect that to a PC without the camera's involvement. If it's a Micro SdCard, buy a carrier to convert it to a full size card.

That will show up as a drive and give you access to the photographs.
