Re: Red light flashing near card; cannot take any pictures; memory may be full

Keeping photos on your memory card is not a good idea, it only takes one file to get corrupted and you can lose the lot. It is far better to move photos to your computer on a regular basis then reformat the card in camera for a fresh start.

Erasing individual photos in camera is also not a good idea because it wastes a lot of the memory on the card and results in a jumbled and non contiguous file storage.
