What size is your SDXC Card? The maximum supported it 2 Gb. It can't handle more than that and won't format.

The C875 works with MMC and SD cards. MMC cards are going obsolete, so you'll probably not be able to find many of them. When getting an SD card, make sure it's not an SDHC card. SD cards top out at 2GB while SDHC cards start at 4GB and go up from there. SDHC cards will not work in the C875.

The C875 works with MMC and SD cards. Your new 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot it is electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use SD cards, which max out at 2GB.

The problem is that your camera is only compatible with SD cards, not SDHC cards. You bought a larger card for your older camera, not noticing that it was SDHC (or not knowing that it mattered). The new card doesn't work, not because it or the camera is broken, but because it's not compatible.

Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD.
Cards of 4Gb are generally SDHC.
Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC.

(There are exceptions. Sometimes, manufacturers make 4Gb SDHC cards but some have errors; they disable half of the chip and sell it as 2Gb, but it's still SDHC. 4Gb cards are almost always SDHC because they're cheaper, but 4Gb SD cards do exist. They are so rare that I've even seen a guru on this site claim they don't. I did own one once, but it was very expensive and turned out to be so unreliable that I had to return it. I don't recommend looking for one, because of the problems.)

Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it doesn't say "SDHC" on it.

Is it actually a SDHC card? SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but many cameras won't work with the SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.

The C875 works with SD and MMC cards, which max out at 2GB. It will not work with larger SDHC cards.

Hi,

I am sorry to say that the C875 is not compatible with SDHC cards. Only SD or MMC cards.
You can get SD cards up to 2GB.

This is not unusual in cameras of a few years old.

Hope this helps.

Your camera is only supporting SD/MMC Cards (up to 2 GB) and KODAK SDHC Cards (up to 8 GB).
The card that you currently have might be faulty. Please try another card.
You might also need to switch the camera over to saving pictures directly onto the SD card.1: Menu, Cam settings, Chose AUTO or SD card option Press OK
Note: If the SD card isn't in the camera or is unreadable the camera will automatically go back to saving you taken pictures on the internal memory.

Hi...

The way to format is just follow this, you just plug you camera to the computer then turn it on, after that, the camera will detected, you open my computer, you can see the removable disk, just right click then format then check quick, then ok

Good luck !!!

Is the write protection enabled on the cards?
Which size having the cards?

The spec for the SD card format is going to 2GB but the Kodak C330 not compatible with 2 GB SD memory cards.

Click

But try an firmware upgrade.
Why download firmware version 1.07?
This firmware version improves memory card compatibility and provides general performance updates.
