You're talking about Sony flash memory storage which is its own odd ball
game. I suspect that there is a difference between functioning with a
large storage device (4GB) vs using all the available space. You my
find that, despite working with the 4GB card, the actual storage size
may be limited to 128MB or some other much lower number.
There is a Pileated Woodpecker nest just around the corner from me but I
haven't got any pictures yet. The guy who lives across the street from
the tree containing the nest says he knows the chicks have hatched.
