OK: I connect the cable between the camera and the USB
socket of the laptop, which is what I've always
done. I don't have a slot for the memory card in
the computer, and the USB connection has always
worked up to now. The camera asks me whether I want
to connect up, I say yes, and it appears as a device
on the laptop, with a directory within another,
and all the photos as jpg files in the inner one.
Except, now, those shots I took since 31.12.08.
When I check the photos in the camera itself, they
are all there, in one stream/menu, whatever that's
called. I think this means that they are in the
same directory as the old, 2008, ones, but I can't
be sure. However, there is no new directory shown
on the laptop when I connect.

Is that specific enough? What I was hoping is that
someone else might have had this problem and knows
what to do about it. Maybe there is an ng about
cameras in the aus.-series, must check. I normally
look at Danish ng's, since I live there, but have
no access to them from here at Macquarie Uni, where
I am for a few months. I'd like to send photos
home, and put some up opn my web site, but so far,
no luck except by a round-about procedure, downloading
onto a Windows-based PC (where they are all visible),
then copy to a USB stick, back to the laptop, etc.
Laborious.
