After maybe a dozen pix, my new, charged Coolpix s3500 with 25MB of internal memory indicates "out of memory". Why??.

25MG of memory really isn't much, it is really not intended to be used for shooting without a memory card. You should set your camera on the lowest resolution if you are dead set in using the internal memory. However, your pictures will look horrible. Your best bet is to get a 4-8GB memory card. You will never run out of shooting space even on high res.

Dorothy, I think you probably exceeded the internal memory of the camera. You can take fairly large pics with it of several MB, so after a dozen you ran out of memory. If you want to really enjoy your camera, get a memory card. I bought a Zectron Pro Memory Card for Nikon COOLPIX S3500 32GB Class 10 High Speed SDHC card for $27.98. It holds thousands of pictures and/or video (which you can also take with the S3500 btw). You would have a very hard time filling this up, even on a long trip where you took lots of pictures. Be sure to download your pics once in a while and organize them, or you will never be able to find the pictures you have taken. I hope this helps.

You still have to purchase and put the memory card inside the camera so you can have greater storage capacity. SD cards can also be purchased on Amazon for very reasonable prices.

You may have ran out of your 2 GB as it as i may be wrong in that it need turning or working space with GB's. Option as the 2 GB'S may have one good use as a storage option or backup far a small amount of photo or videos. GO FOR something bigger may be 16GB in that way you may run out of battery power leaving you with more GB to come back to.

I charged the battery every day while is was away on a 10-day vacation and took over 200 pictures. I didn't charge it for several days when I arrived home and was still able to download pix without a new charge. Haven't tested the battery beyond that. Hope this info is helpful to you.

you have to use a memory chip to save pictures....the device does not have any internal memory

If anything, it's probably because your phone and camera are old and do not support the HC (high capacity) standard and / or are limited to SD cards of fewer GB. Of course without you giving any information about the make and model of either your phone or your camera it is impossible to say. It could just be that you somehow got a bad card. Or that you accidentally gave it a static shock and fried it. Or that your cat peed on it. Without sufficient information the best answer you can get is an educated guess.

Yes you should becaise the internal memory is too small. If you take 3 pictures the internal memory will be full..

There should not be, but if you use a "slow" memory card that could be the cause. Also if the camera is ser tot postview pictures,after they were taken.

I have had this issue when I put the chip back in the camera after taking photos off of it and don't delete the old photos properly.Simply have the camera re-format the chip and the issue goes away.

If you just got it you will need to fully charge the battery. When that is done, go to settings and make sure it knows to save to sd card and not internal memory. This is a great Camera!

This could very well be a SD card issue.... I've seen this happen on one of my friend's SLRs when they tried using a older SD card (that is not class 6 or higher).... Even if urs is class 6, it might not be a bad idea to try using a different SD Card, as the one that u mite be using now might be defective..... Good luck.....

Maybe need to check out the memory card. Have no problem w/my camera in the past 2 wks I have taken over 125 pic and still taking pictures so my advice is the memory card is it good or bad, try another memory card.

I never run out memory, but in manual said that the camera will vibrate and turnoff when the memory is full, so i think you can´t use it.

It doesn't have an internal memory, no dig camera has as far as I know, so you need to use a card then transfer them to your PC, after that you can reformat the card and keep using it.

Did you plug in the GPS antenna? Reset camera and make sure the memory card is 4 to 8 GB.. my best guess...

If the camera has been used it's possible there could be some dirt or lint in the card reader or just a glitch. Also try a card with less memory like 500mb or 1g max as some of the old cameras can't handle the "bigger" memory cards. Most of WG's old cameras are cheap and that is why I got away from them. They just haven't been dependable for me.

I know how it feels - with my Coolpix 610 the little battery icon in the upper right hand corner no longer shows any bars to estimate how discharged it might be. It is always a total blank. I just keep taking pictures until it the "Battery Exhausted" message appears and won't let me take any more pictures. I then just slip in another couple of batteries I know to be fully charged and resume photo taking. My advice is just always take a pair of fully charged batteries wherever you go. I use the rechargeable NiCad kind of batteries which is the least cost way to go in the long run. Other than the battery changing task, the Coolpix 610 is a great camera and takes great photos.

I believe you will need to "format" the memory card, or try purchasing a new memory card to try to use. You know how to erase images, so erase ALL images both on the memory card and on the internal memory which can hold 5-10 pictures. Try a new memory card (or borrow one from another unit or application) and attempt to use it. I've had memory cards fail and need replacing. Good luck.
