Brian wrote "firmware should be able to use larger cards than the very first one used with it."  That suggests that a factory reset would return the camera to a state in which it doesn't know what memory card it had and that, having done a factory reset, I could install a larger capacity SDHC, copy all folders and files (which I have already proved can be done successfully with the 4Gb SDHC)  and that would resolve the issue.

 

I wrote in my first post "The camera and the computer have long since refused to talk to each other so, in order to transfer files, I have to first transfer the card to a card reader - a bit of pain."  This has now worsened.  I went to change the date and and time to find this option does not appear in the menu <Menu><Setup> which now includes ONLY <Copy> and <Firmware Version> but does NOT include <Factory Reset> - unless I'm looking in the wrong place?

 

All the useful suggestions about using a mobile telephone and tablets is, unfortunately not useful to me as I don't have such things (and at my age don't really want to go there).  Similarly I don't really want to replace the camera which I'm used to - unless absolutely essential.

 

Where do I go from here?

Oops and apologies.

 

I have looked at date and time change problem on and off for a number of weeks.  I am used to seeing a menu from top down.  It didn't occur to me that I may be seeing only the lower entries in the menu.  I had a brainwave today and tried scrolling up and, of course, the remainder of the menu was displayed.  This includes changing the date and time - so that's that issue resolved.  Another menu item was <reset>.  I thought this was a factory reset which, hopefully would resolve the SDHC issue.

 

Can the L22 be factory reset?  Would this need a download of the Firmware?  Is this wise?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't have a mobile telephone or a tablet so they are not alternative options I'm afraid
