How to check video and picture camera for malware

Hi!

By mistake I put in my video and picture cameras in my computer that was infected with malware. How can I now securely check if they have been infected or not? Does anyone have any ideas?

The video camera is supposed to have it's own "hard drive" but I connected it to PC using USB.

When I opened the files, I had "Show hidden files" ticked and could not discover any autorun.inf.

Regards

 

if concerned, re-format the drive from within the camera assuming it has such option

 

Well that means I have to plug it into somewhere, what's the point then because then I will 1) Get infected and 2) I can just manually go through the USB and do scans and check for Autorun.inf (for example by creating my own Autorun.inf and making it write-protect etc) and then be 100 % sure there is no malware?

Isn't it kinda pointless to format it? Or maybe you know something I don't..?

 

Before plugging the Camera, vaccinate your computer using Panda USB vaccine, and set it to automatically vaccinate any USB drives being plugged.

 

No, usually cameras as a format feature under the options menu (or similar name) wich will delete all the pics/vids that may be on it. So no need to connect the camera to your PC IF the camera has this feature.

PS.
If you tell us the camera Brand and model number, we can check if your camera has such a format feature!
