I scan and download. I erase the card. I scan different pics and the original ones reappear after I scanned different pics. How to correct?

After scanning and downloading your pictures or papers and erasing you need to reformat your memory chip before beginning your next scanning project.

thanks for the input .....I had gone ahead and ordered the Scan-Snap but had decided to return it before it even arrived. Your response just made me know that I made the right decision. My plan now is to sort through all those photos and send the best of the lot to a company such as Best Photo Scanning and let them preserve them on discs for me.

I'm pretty sure THE CARD NEEDS TO BE RE-FORMATTED. Put the card in an adapter (may have come with the card, mine did) connect it to your computer and format it. If you don't know how to do any of this go to you tube and do a search for S5 memory card

I also scanned my dl with no problems. It reported an "overlap" and gave me the options to rescan. It's not something I'd want to do too often as it may cause problems down the road with the rollers.

I had the same issue until I open a software program and scan it and it appear on that program as a file that I can edit. I advise you to open a program and then use the m.scanner. it works like a normal scanner.

Kathy, you control how you put the negatives through the machine, so it doesn't reverse them unless you put them in a certain way. Also, you choose what you want to digitize. The black hard plastic slide frame you see in the picture is what you slide through the machine. Let's say you only want one photo from the group, you slide the frame into place, push the scan button and then the ok button to save to the sd card (must purchase separately). It really is easy to use and I like it better than the scanner I already had. There is more control, I can see the pictures on the screen right away to decide if I want that one or not. Very handy little machine. Kathy, you control how you put the negatives through the machine, so it doesn't reverse them unless you put them in a certain way.

Hi, when you have the camera connected to you PC (after copying and saving the photos) you can erase all the pics at once from the camera's file. It's easy! If you try to erase them using the camera you can erase only one at a time (there is a Delete button).Hope this is helpfull for you! Maria Clara

Your question made me nervous, so I got the card out and put it in my office p.c. It was not recognized and would not open. Guess I'm going to join the 45 and not even give it a 1. I'll have to see if I can change my recommendation. Glad you brought it up before I downloaded more photos.

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

usually when u buy a new card and insert it it will automatically say the card needs to be formated. If thats not the case there should be a setting in options to do that for you. Since the camera i bought has no instructions i cant clearly think how myne was formated but if i remember correctly the new card i had was auto formated when it was inserted. Cause it should ask you when u insert a new memory card.

I have had the same problem. We just travelled abroad for a big family get-together, and took pictures of the some memorable moments at the occaision. I would have "playback" all the pictures multiple times. One fine day I tried to see what was in the camera, after I came back to the US...guess what..No Pictures. As Adrienne mentioned..It drove me crazy too. I have not had an occaision to lose them again yet..Anybody have any ideas of recovering them....Is it the camera or the SD card..Any Ideas...The card I am using is the SD Ultra II card..2gb..bought at Costco. Any familiarities here.... I have had the same problem. We just travelled abroad for a big family get-together, and took pictures of the some memorable moments at the occaision.

Yes, be careful with the cheap card readers from China. I had one that corrupted image files during the read or import of the images and they were unrecoverable. I threw it away of course, but I just wanted to agree that it does happen.

I'm sorry. Nothing like that has happened with my scanner. I have no idea how to address the problem.

Yes. A word of caution though, scan direct to your computer so you can see the photo. I found that about every 15 scans I had to clean the unit. If you scanned to a memory stick you would not see the lines running through the photo until way later.

You can save scanned items as .jpg. You have to manually change the setting in the first scan to .jpg, then subsequent scans are saved as .jpg.

They have to be saved in jpeg format. If u have them on your computer, open the picture in paint and the save as jpeg before adding to your card

Sorry I do not know. My 'guess' is the pictures are there. Unless you erase the pictures they usually remain. Michael
