FS2004 requires certain formats. It won`t display 24 bit (which your camera images will be). It can use 8 bit (256 colour) images but far better to use one of the higher colour options like 16 bit or 32 bit.
While some paint programs or photo editors will let you save 32 bit none of them (as far as I know) will create 16 bit.
Just use the DXTBmp program from this site to convert your photo images to any of the FS2004 bmp formats.

Martin -- Thanks for the quick response. I have DXTBmp but did not know I could use it for this purpose. Will get on it tonight. I appreciate your help.
