Help! Having just bought a Sony P12, I thought Id get a couple of good size memory sticks to go with it. So I bought two 256mb Memory Stick Pros. After filling one stick over Christmas with a combination of movies and single shots, I thought Id try out the quality of prints, having only been used to standard 35mm prints previously.
I went along to Jessops but their machine could not read any information from my stick no pictures, nothing. The helpful assistant then tried it on the in-shop computer via a card reader and fine, no problems. He then thought it could be the movies on the stick preventing the single shots being displayed. So he transferred solely the shots from my stick onto a compact flash card and tried that in their machine but still nothing!!! We then tried my other stick, which had a few shots on it, and still nothing! He had never come across this before and could not help any further. I then tried Boots just to make sure it wasnt Jessops machine playing up, but theirs to would not read any information from the stick!!
Now although I could transfer the shots myself onto disc at home and take the disc in, or even upload to an internet photo center to get some prints, I would still like to have the convenience of taking my stick along to a high street store for the odd print. I therefore need to get to the bottom of this and would appreciate any advice anyone may have.
Has anyone else encountered these problems with a Memory Stick Pro? Does it suggest the Sticks are faulty or the Camera?
I would be grateful for any assistance.
