Bought type M 2gb card for C-730 and the camera does not recognize the factory format and displays card error screen. Can I use this card or what is the problem?

You may try formatting the card with the camera itself. This may allow it to use it depending on the camera.

Your older camera can only work with 2GB or smaller standard SD cards. It is not capable of recognizing the newer format 4GB or higher SDHC cards. Fortunately, old format 2GB SD cards are relatively inexpensive these days, and may be purchased on Amazon if your local store no longer carries them.

Make sure the cards are 2GB or less, 2GB is the largest the camera can support. If they are, you may need to format the cards to use with the camera. Press Menu/Set to display the PLAY mode menu and select the item to set. Select Format and confirm by select Yes. The owner's manual says to perform this procedure when you get MEMORY CARD ERROR.

The NV10 will not accept SDHC type memory cards. The largest card you will find it takes is a 2GB card of the SD type (not SDHC). The camera is not SDHC compliant, unfortunately. If you can return the 4GB Lexar, swap it for a 2GB of the non-SDHC variety. If this answers your question fully, please rate the solution accordingly. Thanks

I believe the largest card that will work in your camera is a 2gb. Larger cards are of the newer SDHC type, which is not compatable with many slightly older cameras.

per manual... camera supports UP TO 256MB... your camera can't recognize a 2gb card.

Hi Bill...... It won't take a 2gb card. In fact I have a feeling that it may not even take a 1gb card. I have mine as a back-up camera these days. It will not support Panasonic either. Sorry..from experience.

Oh.... a quick tip... the Camedia software is not too hot, and you have to pay for the update to give you the email connection.

OK, FIRST OFF THE CARD YOU BOUGHT, IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR CAMERA? IT'S NOT AN SDHC, IS IT? ALSO, DID YOU FORMAT THE CARD? THESE ARE POSSIBLE REASONS YOUR CAMERA IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE 8GB MEMORY. IF YOU FORMATTED IT ON YOUR COMPUTER IT PROBABLY WON'T WORK IN YOUR CAMERA. YOU NEED TO FORMAT IT IN YOUR CAMERA TO HAVE IT BE RECOGNIZED. DOES YOUR CAMERA WORK WITH THE OLD CARD AND NOT SHOW THE ERROR? ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CAMERA SET TO USE THE SD CARD AND NOT INTERNAL MEMORY? CHECK THROUGH YOUR MENU ITEMS FOR CHOICES. TRY THESE FIRST AND IF YOU STILL NEED HELP, REPLY TO: ARCLIGHT1217. IF THIS IS HELPFUL, PLEASE RATE, THANKS!

this camera will only take up to 2gb
