How do I move pictures from my camera to my memory card?
I have an Olympus Stylus 850 SW and I just got it last week. I've been taking pictures with the memory card inside and I don't think it's in the memory card but still in the camera. I tried reformatting, thinking it was reformatting the memory card and ended up deleting the pix in my cam. Does the memory card that comes with the camera really have so little space or does is it not connecting with the card? What do I do?
Update:I mean how do I get it to save pictures in the memory card instead of in the internal memory. And please don't bother answering if you're just going to be ignorant.

The software, Olympus Master, that came with your camera should download the photos from the camera to your computer. I don't think you are able to transfer the photos from internal memory to your card.
Here the support page at Olympus for your camera.

The related info in the manual are on page 46.
Edit: If your camera is not using the memory card, it might need to be formatted. Go to the Set Up menu in the camera. Scroll thru the list until you see Format. After formatting the card, the camera should recognize it. If you still only have the internal memory available, I would suggest trying a different card. If that doesn't work either, your camera might be defective. Contact Olympus support at the web address above.
What size memory card are you using?
I could be wrong but I think your Oly should recognize your memory card the second you slide it in , it should switch from internal to xD.
Though if your card is something like 16-32 mb (which is a standard for gratis cards you get with a new camera), you won't be able to shoot many pics with it.
You should look for at least 1 gig.
Go back to the store you bought from and ask. If you bought it online, email Oly's support (or phone, there's probably a # you can call).
edit: I remembered that your type of cam usually doesn't come with a free memory card. But it does come with a micro adapter. So, are you sure you're not confusing the adapter with an xD card? If so, you're only working with internal memory and need to buy a memory card.
First off, depending on what operating system you are running, these instructions may be different. On most recent versions of Windows (Vista, XP, 2k, etc), USB devices with removable media such as digital cameras, flash drives, MP3/iPods, hard disk drives; appear as a removable drive in "My Computer." Be sure your camera is in the PC connectivity mode and powered on. After plugging in the USB cable, Windows should recognize and configure the device for use. If you open up My Computer, you should see your device was assigned a drive letter. You can view the contents of the card installed within your camera by double clicking the drive letter. From here you must navigate the folder structure of your camera to find your pictures. Every band/model will be slightly different, but they typically are within a folder called whatever your model is. You can drag photos from your computer back onto this removable drive anywhere you please. Just open up the drive letter and copy or drag the photos you want to print right in the root directory. You probably won’t see these pictures on your card when you turn on your camera, but your printer should scan the entire card and find all picture file types it supports. The only way your camera will recognize the photo is if you place it back in the directory it stores newly shot photos, and the photo may have to be in its native format ie no editing/resizing/correcting. Most of todays camera work with the Windows operating system just as I described above. The only brand I have seen to be different is Kodak. On select Kodak models an icon does not appear in My Computer. You are then required to transfer photos back and forth using the supplied software that was included with the camera. You shouldn’t experience this problem with a Canon. Hope this is what you were looking for and resolves your concern. Feel free to contact my if you run into problems.
First I would try connecting the camera to my PC. If the PC asks for an installation CD, then insert it and program to your PC. I f that does not work, you can try to look at your camera's menu and look around. Some cameras allow to move internal memory media to be transferred to a memory card. If that doesn't work I would either take a look on the camera's manual or take it to a specialist. Hope This Helps!
umm open it up in my computer then there will be 2 folders when you click on ur camera one Olympus Stylus 850 SW then on something like memory card take the ones in ya u know what to do
You need to have a look in your User Manual (page 54). It's under the heading of...
"Additional Shooting Tips and Information".
Recording Pictures to the Internal memory &
Using a card (optional).
It will explain everything for you in black & white...
Also, turn to pages 36-37 for advice on Formatting.
And, make sure you have a decent capacity memory card (1GB minimum). 1GB = approx. 1000MB.
i know this may sound like a stupid question but is the memory card in right cuz i think that mine might be able to go in two ways but only one way works i dont have the same type of camera but that is my suggestion maybe take it to a store and let a worker there see if they can help you. good luck!!!
I don't know.
try harder
idk good luck
