MEMORY CARD ERROR

Sounds like the memory card pins are bent. Remove the card and hold the camera up to the light. Look inside the memory slot and see if you can see any bent pins or anythign that is not uniform. There are 2 rows of pins and there whould not be any missing or out of place. It can be hard to see but if there is any that look closer together or laying over thats the problem. Its common and it happens fairly easy.

Its best not to remove the card, even though people sugest using a card reader or to save battery life bent pins can trash a good camera.

I do have a panasonic nv-gs280 camera wich also generates card errors from time to time. It seems that the card gets overheated if I play or record the video tape for a while. If I remove the card and replace it after a cool-down everything works fine again.

Are there any other users with similar problems on panasonic cameras or should I have mine fixed?

memory card error on my power shot A540 displayed, how can I rectify it ?

Ok, same problem, I don't have bent pins. I removed the card from the camera (lost the cord) and put into my HP PSC1610 to upload the pics. I could see the files but they wouldn't transfer to the computer.

Now...I get memory card error from the camera and "unformatted card, do you want to format now from the computer"
