Author VX8300 Camera and Micro SD Card
Jim Higgins

2006-12-17, 10:33 pm

I purchased a 512MB micro-SD card (with SD adapter) and transferred the
camera memory pictures to the card. I then put the micro-SD and adapter
card in my Canon A-610. No images were there. I could use the micro card
to store pictures taken with the Canon and I could store phone camera
pictures on the card *but* I could not see VX8300 pictures in the Canon nor
could I see Canon pictures in the VX8300. Both picture the VX8300 and the
Canon use .jpg format. What am I missing?

Stick the card into your computer slot and open Windows Explorer. Right
click on the root directory of the card and pick PROPERTIES. Click up to
show hidden files on both the card for the Canon and the card for the
phone. Cameras hide key files with their JPG files so they
"proprietarize" the damned pictures so X camera can't read Y's photos from
a competitor. I bet you'll find a key file required for each picture.

You can test this theory by copying jpgs off the computer onto the card and
plugging it into the camera. It won't display those, either...missing the
key files.

Damn them all and their proprietary crapware.

Both the phone and the camera store pictures in seperate subdirectories, and
never the twain shall meet.... :)

Sorry Larry, you are way way wrong..... Only apples use those silly key
files....
Cameras and phones use different default subdirectories....

For every jpg on my Sony camera, there is a matching file the Sony must
have to read it....

Must be somethin strange with sony then.. Both my canon and my olympus use
their own subdirectories, as does my moto e815 phone.. While I can see the
different directories on my computer, I can also copy the jpg's from one
subdirectory to another (or to the laptop) and see them... The index files
are totally not needed/useless..

While some whacky index files get created sometimes, they just seem to be
device specific, like what the next picture number is etc... Have no effect
on the actual jpg's...

I suspect they know even less about cameras than they do cellphones....good
luck.

Wanna create panic at the Verizon Store? Ask them about Aircard
configuration....(c;
