Basically, some setting got changed on my camera by accident the other night.
I have a sony dsc h7.
When my camera is connected to my laptop via the usb connection and the program box pops us that asks me how i want to download the photos and where I want to download the photos
….
the option to checkmark the box that says "delete pictures from my device after copying them" doesn’t allow me to checkmark it anymore
…
which means i keep downloading the same photos over and over again ( unless i go into my camera and delete them from there). Is there a setting I need to look for on my computer or a setting i need to look for in my camera or what?
ugh.
thank you.

that may depend on the program you use to copy the photos to your pc. I would first go to that program and check out option/setings to see if it can be resolved via your computer. I just bought the H7 myself and have yet to come across any settings within the camera that allow you to delete the photos after uploading them to a memory source, like your hardrive. That’s not to say the camera cannot be set up that way, but I have yet to see that option. I would tell you though, that I will likely never use my pc for deleting photos from my camera. I did so on my previous Sony camera (P200) and it left a few photos in the camera memory, not allowing me to delete them at all.. causing them to always show up when uploading photos to my pc. It is quite easy to delete all photos from the H7 (click on the sideways ‘triangle in a box’ button that allows you to review your photos, click "menu", then scroll over two times to "delete all" and your done). It’s a small inconvenience to assure you don’t change settings in your camera that cannot be changed back.

    Good.

    You really need to format your memory card using the format feature in your camera, rather than deleting. Formatting the card refreshes it and writes a new image index file. This will assure that you won’t loose any images due to corruption of the image index file.
