HP 612 camera question!
 

Put a memory card in it with pictures from
another camera, & it reads "no pictures in
memeory card"! With a formatted card, after
you take some pictures, it "locksup", & you
can't get them out of the camera, unless you
put the card into another camera! Any recalls,
common faults, or firmware upgrades? Rono.

Hi...

Don't know HP cameras very well at all; but I'd strongly
suggest you clean the contacts as best you are able.

Just as a side thought - if you remove the card and use
only the internal memory (I think it has 8 megs) how
does that work?

Try a new memory card, in case the one you have has some type of defect. I
have seen this before. If the new card does the same thing, then the camera
has an I/O problem.

The camera is fixed by swapping the board that has the I/O on it, and then
doing the re-calibration. The camera would have to be serviced by the
manufacture, or their rep who would be properly equipped to re-calibrate it.

BTW: The card working properly in another camera: Correct?? Is the other
camera the same HP-612 or a different manufacturer and model?
Did you format the card within the HP-612 after installing it into that
specific item? If so, did it function at all for in that device?
Does the card functrion appropiately in all modes while in the other camera
you mention? If so then the HP-612 you refer to is highly suspect as having
either defects in the card interface and/or on the I/O as Jerry posted.
Suggest trying another card, not necessairly the same storage level, in the
HP-612 to see if functions preform correctly. If so, then use the current
card only in the other device.
Good Luck and hapyshutter-buggin'

On the HP 315, you get results like this if you put in a memory card larger
than 16 MB. HP offers no fix, just a suggestion that you buy a separate
memory card reader to get the pictures from memory into your pc.
