The last time you transferred pictures to your computer... Did you properly
eject the memory stick before removing it? If not, you could have damaged
the stick.


I transferred using the USB connector on the camera to download to the
computer.


Pne of the most common causes of this error is poor contacts on the
memory stick. *Remove the stick and burnish the contacts a little. *Re-
insert the stick and try again. *It doesn't take much to cause a
questionable connection at the pins. *The contacts can fatigue a bit
as well.


Update this with your progress.

Well---I put the camera on the charger for a couple of hours while I
was doing household chores. *Then about 1/2 hour ago, I connected a
USB cable to my computer, and turned the camera on. *To my pleasant
surprise, the camera turned on normally and there was no error
mesage. *Now I have turned the camera off, disconnected the USB cable
and set it aside until tomorrow morning. *We'll see what happens. *I
didn't take the camera card out since I did look at the card earlier
today, and was still getting error messages after I replaced the
card. *Contacts looked fine when I had it out, and I didn't see
anything that looked like dirt inside the card housing and its
contacts. *So, * * * * * * * * * * * * we'll see what happens tomorrow
and will report back. *Thanks for your suggeston.- Hide quoted text -

Turned camera on twice today, everything appears to be normal, sure
would like to know what happened, but very happy it is working again.
