Download Free Games Without Memory Card __FULL__

Hi, Without thinking I took a couple of pics with my Sony a390 and I forgot the memory card was still in my PC . It let me take the pictures ok and I'm wondering whether they will be saved on some internal memory and if so how can I access them ?
I don't know about your specific camera, but most cameras can hold a few photos in memory without a card inserted. I've had a couple of them that then allowed me to transfer the photos from camera memory to the memory card through some menu pick.
Usually the camera will inform you at the point of saving that internal memory is being used. If no such dialogue occured, it is probably best to assume no such memory exists. If it bleeps, and flashes "No card" at you, then you know you have none.
Most cameras can take a picture, process it and display the review on the rear screen, without a card present - though the image is not saved anywhere. My camera has an option to disable this in custom functions.
It's beyond me why the manufacturers insist upon defaulting this way, people who need to take photos without a card inserted are going to figure out immediately that the camera requires a card. Whereas some folks that do need a card don't realize that the camera is letting them take photos that aren't being saved.
I've had several cameras that have enough internal memory to save about 4 or 5 photos. The only way to know is to check and one way is to connect it to a PC. Or there may be a menu option to move the files from internal to storage card.
This is a 7 year old thread and I don't know of any current camera that has any internal memory for storing images. As somebody has said on the thread, the memory capacity was very small, maybe for 10-20 images. I believe that is was only in the camera so that a memory card wasn't required for testing at the end of production.
If you put the memory card back into the camera and can view the images on the camera's LCD display, then they are still on the card and it shouldn't be any problem retrieving them. However, it is possible that the store deleted them accidentally. There is software available that may be able to retrieve deleted files from the card - try google.
The Aura Carver 10.1" HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories. The colors are vibrant, and the build quality is solid, but the Carver isn't without a few quirks.
If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.
What you SHOULD do is set your camera so that the shutter doesn't fire if no memory card is in it. This is a setting you can find in Menus. Consult the user manual. If you don't have one, download it from Canon.
I own the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX60V. I am looking to replace it for a couple of reasons, primarily: 1. It does not alert you that there is no memory card in place and let's you snap away and there is not even built in memory to capture even 1 photo. You can 'preview' that last photo taken but cannot access it. Drives me CRAZY! 2. Whether you run out of battery power or memory card space it simply shuts down - screen goes black - no message about what just happened.
My SX240 displays a "NO MEMOMORY CARD" message at the top of the screen when there is no memory card in the camera. I have never filled the card so don't know what happens when it's full. When the battery is run down the screen goes black and a "CHARGE BATTERY" message is displayed across the middle of the screen.
The obvious solution is to leave the card in the camera. With cheap high cap cards there is little reason to remove it. When photos are transferred to a computer via a USB cable be sure to erase and format the card in camera. Been doing this for years.
Every Canon DSLR I've had has a feature that it will not let you take a shot if there is no memory card in the camera. Not sure about their Powershots, it's been too long since I used one. Of course, if you wait until you get to your destination to take a shot, it's done no good anyway. But, I never travel w/o at least another memory card in my bag.
I just removed the memory card from my G7X II and powered up. The screen said, "NO MEMORY CARD" across the top. Also, when the memory card is in, one of the pieces of info shown on the screen at all times is the number of shots left depending on your settings for file type and file size.
setup--> Slot empty release lock = OK enable release. This allows images to be shot and reviewed in-camera. (I keep the slot empty = LOCK, to make it obvious there's no card in the camera. Even better-- leave the door open when the card is out)
I was rushing to an event due to bad weather and ended up forgetting my SD card in my card reader -_- Couldn't go back and get it because the first part of the event was well under way by the time I got there.
Though I eventually got my SD card back between the break, are the pictures I took lost forever of the first part of the event? or does The Rebel XS have an internal memory that I can access with some program?
I don't know that camera specifically, but I doubt it. Any digital camera that I've seen is either designed with no internal memory at all or is just able to save a single "sample" photo.

This is why I always carry a spare SD card in my wallet. SD cards are so thin, it's good insurance to carry an extra SD card in your wallet. Plus, SD cards are so cheap these days, I keep them everywhere. I have one in my wallet, a couple in my car, a couple in my messenger bag, one in every camera I own, etc. If an SD card comes out of my camera (like when I'm downloading from it), another one immediately goes into the camera. You may not want to go to such extremes, but you should at least have a spare!
I'm afraid you are out of luck. There is no internal memory on Canon DSLRs. Although it may well show a preview of the image you just captures, unless there is a card in the camera there is nowhere to save it.
That's a hard lesson to learn. Always have more than 1 card available, and keep the extras in a memory card holder with the camera. Immediately after copying from the card to your computer (and doing a backup!), remove the card from the reader and format it in the camera so you're ready for the next shoot right away.
You didn't have an extra card with you? Duh...I always have one on me in my wallet, as another poster mentioned. Even if I don't have a camera with me, I always have the spare card. If I have a camera with me, I have several cards. I carry as a daily habit a small Sony RX100M3 in a felt bag and there are a couple of extra cards in that bag as well as an extra battery.
I believe the default on Canon is also to allow shooting w/o the card. However, reading the OP's post it sounds like he already knew the card had been forgotten in the card reader and went ahead and shot anyway. So another huge mistake - not knowing the camera well enough that it had no internal memory and therefore the images were not being saved. Hopefully this was not a paid event.
