Unneeded panic

laura_seabrookHad a bit of a panic this morning when I realised that my yoobewt video camera didn't seem to work!
It wouldn't take any pics or clips without me inserting an SD card. I have a couple and tried inserting both but all I got when I tried to take either a photo or a clip was a "MEMORY FULL" error. Also, despite inserting a USB cable from my PC, the camera refused to be recognised by my PC! Complicating things was the state of local weather - in particular the humidity.
26°C | °F Current: Cloudy Wind: NE at 21 km/h Humidity: 74% Fri  Sat  Sun Mon  |
I decided rather than fiddle any further with it, to return the camera to Target. Got to the shop in Glendale, and - it worked! I took an SD card with me to test it, and the lass behind the customer service desk inserted it and it worked first go! It seems that I wasn't inserting the SD card properly (duh!) and when I got home sure enough, it could now be read by USB.
Slightly disappointed I can't use it as a web-cam, but the picture quality is still superior to what I had, and it also shoots in 16:9 aspect and has a night setting. Yahoo! Also of course going to the shopping centre was an opportunity to a) buy essentials like toilet paper, and b) bask for a few minutes in air conditioned shops.
