Can I format a memory card in my camera without deleting the pictures on the camera internal memory?


Question by Larry or Brenda: Can I format a memory card in my camera without deleting the pictures on the camera internal memory?
I am having problems uploading pix from my Sanyo VPC-S600 and wondered if I could copy them to a memory card, without losing the pictures already stored on the camera’s internal memory? The owner’s manual says I must first format the card but then warns this will delete pictures. Do they mean ALL pictures or just the pictures that might be on the card previously?

Answer by BB
That will format just the card as formatting internal memory is a separate function usually only accessed with the card out of the camera.

    Yes you can do that without affecting the internal memory.
    They just mean the pictures on the memory card.

    All the best!

    to format the memory card means to delete EVERYTHING in it

    what ever you don’t want to delete, just back it up

    They just mean the pictures on the card itself. Youll be fine.
