Please, stay away from OpenCV 2.4.8. We have evolved since then and are already at OpenCV 2.4.11 and OpenCV 3.1. You should use one of those versions to have optimal support!

The linker needs the library path in order to link the library to the binaries. Make sure again the both Properties:

Project Properties > Linker > General > Additional Library Directories Project Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies

are set correctly.

Also take care to add the ".lib" - files, not the ".dll" ones. Watch out for the correct ending: *248d.lib of the files as 248d stands for OpenCV 2.4.8 - Debug.

If this does not work, try adding the location where your library is located to your PATH. If nothing works, make sure opencv_calib3d248d.lib even exists.
