The GE E1480W is an affordable touchscreen digital camera which comes with a powerful zoom range of 8X. The camera packs in various other features in its slim body including 14.1 megapixels, 20 shooting modes, red-eye removal, blink detection among others. It comes equipped with an internal memory of 18MB and is compatible with SDHC cards. Photos stored on an SDHC card can be easily transferred to a computer, thanks to their better data transfer speed. But, be careful while handling the memory card as corruption can sneak in anytime. Corruption is a major problem associated with memory cards as it leads to data inaccessibility. To overcome such situations and restore lost photos, you have to remain dependent on a valid backup. If a backup doesn’t exist or is corrupt, you can retrieve lost or deleted photos from an SDHC card by using photo recovery software.
To elaborate on the capabilities and significance of a recovery application meant for photos, it is important to consider a practical situation. Let’s imagine a situation, wherein, you click several photos from your GE E1480W camera. One fine day, you reinsert the SDHC card in your GE camera in order to view those photos before downloading them to your computer. When you bring the camera in viewing mode, you receive the following error message:
“Card is not formatted”
The above error message indicates that your GE E1480W camera is unable to read the SDHC card.
Cause
The following causes could have prompted the GE camera to throw the above error message:
- If the SDHC card is not formatted to be used with the GE E1480W camera
- If the SDHC card is corrupt or damaged. The file system of a memory card can get damaged in various instances of interrupted read/write process.
Resolution
Photo recovery from the GE E 1480 W camera can be done easily with the help of below-mentioned workarounds and other strategies:
- Since your camera cannot read the SDHC memory card, you can try connecting the card to a computer and see if you can access photos
- If this doesn’t help then you must eliminate the incompatibility issue by reformatting the SDHC card in your GE camera
- Reformatting also helps a great deal when you have to fix a corrupt SDHC card.
- After formatting, you can handle the data loss by using efficient photo recovery software.

I guess there are some things you would like to know
* Most P&S cameras are optimized to use NiMH rechargeable batteries (you can buy 4 with a charger for under $30)
* Batteries are rated for the number of photos you can take, NOT how long you can leave it turned on
* Energy management is key to getting the most out of your batteries.
* The largest user of battery power are as follows: LCD, zoom motor, flash and auto-focus
Just so you know, while GE makes great toaster ovens and jet engines, it is NOT known for making quality cameras

Make sure you have adobe’s free reader so you can view it.
Little P&S cameras take pretty reasonable photos as long as the light is perfect.
As you found out, when the light is no longer perfect, they can’t keep up.
As soon as you’re inside, you have less light. Your shutter needs to stay open longer to compensate, that is why the photos are blurry. In order to fix that, you need to get off the auto setting and raise the ISO. Sadly, that will also increase the digital “noise” in the photos.
The other option is to turn on lots of lights plus use a tripod as well as the self timer to stop the camera shake.

GE digital camera. Uses brand new batteries in a matter of minutes?
I can only use my brand new camera for about 5 minutes until the batteries die. My parents are getting really mad at me about it. What batteries could I use? And I was thinking about rechargeable ones. Would those be any better?

Is is just me or does the GE x5 digital camera take blurry pictures?
I have just bought a GE X5 Digital SLR style camera and every single picture I take turns out blurry. Even when I don’t even zoom in the picture still turns out blurry. I have to stay perfectly still and not move at all if I want to get a picture that isnt blurry. It is very hard to take a picture with not shaking at all. Does anyone have any idea how to not take blurry pictures with this camera? Thanks.
How to use the self timer on my GE A1250 Digital Camera?
Well just like the title states I’d like to know how to use the self timer on my GE A1250 Digital Camera. I just bought it and I like the features so far but don’t know how to set the timer or what category it is under. Help on this, or adjusting an settings to get better picture quality (for indoor pictures mostly) would be appreciated. Thanks
Whenever I have a question/problem such as yours, I read the user’s guide (aka “the manual”).
It is amazing just how much I always learn from that.
If that doesn’t help (or if I’m interested in a product I don’t own), I check the manufacturer’s website.
They have descriptions and specs for their gadgets, often have user forums, and the decent manufacturers all let you download the manuals in electronic form (so losing the book is no longer a problem).
99% of the time that does the trick.
