Write On A Protected Memory Card On An Olympus Fe340 Camera

When memory card capacity is reached, "Memory Card Full" appears on the LCD screen.


The compact Olympus model FE-340 digital point-and-shoot 8-megapixel camera features a 2.7-inch LCD screen and an AVI-format video mode. Sometimes an inserted memory card might be protected, which prevents you from saving images to the card. You can work around this by either deleting protected images from the card to free up space or fully formatting the memory card, which erases all images and data. Once the memory card is reformatted, you can store new images on it.


Instructions








1. Slide the battery/memory card cover open on the bottom of the FE-340 with your finger. Insert the memory card into the memory card slot, which is thinner than the battery slot, with the metal contacts facing in and toward the back of the camera, until it clicks into place. Close the memory card cover.


2. Insert the small end of the supplied USB transfer cable into the right side of the camera and the large end into the USB port of a computer. Transfer any protected images from the card to a computer if you wish to clear the card of protected images and write to a reformatted card.


3. Press the shooting mode button, which is marked with a camera icon on the back of the FE-340, to format the protected card. Formatting the card erases all information from the card, protected or not. Press the "Menu" button on the back of the FE-340 and use the navigation buttons on the back of the camera to select "Setup" from the menu. Scroll down to select "Memory Format." Select "Yes" with the navigation key and press the "OK" button to confirm the formatting of the memory card.


4. Press the playback button, which is marked with a triangle on the back of the FE-340, to pull up saved images from the memory card. To unprotect certain images, highlight the image with the left or right navigation button on the back of the camera, and press the up or down button to toggle between protected and not protected. A protected image is marked with a key icon. Press the delete button, which is marked with a trashcan icon, to delete the newly unprotected image and free up space. This allows you to write to a full memory card filled with protected and/or unprotected images.
