SOURCE: Memory Card Error
Sounds like the camera does not support SDHC. Check manual to see if this camera supports high capacity SD cards.
SOURCE: Canon Power Shot A400 will only work with original Canon SD card
Make sure you are using an SD card and not an SDHC card. The SDHC protocol is newer than your camera, and your camera does not support it. SD cards have capacities up to 2 GB. Your camera should work properly with any SD or MMC card.
try formatting the card once on a pc and then plug it in your camera....if that does not help either, you'll have to try a different card.
SOURCE: Error 99 message keeps popping up
Hi
I just read that the error 99 problem is a shutter failure and the shutter will have to be fixed. The cost is about $180.
see http://www.mcvr.com/canon_digital_rebel.htm?gclid=CJqG4cvc05oCFRMhnAodCHUA3Q#shutter
ERR99 (error 99) is an indication that there is a
communication problem in the camera. It is most often an
indication that the shutter needs to be replaced, but it can be the
result of other problems. All digital cameras occasionally
need to have the shutters replaced. In the days of film
cameras, it was rare to wear out a shutter because the cost of film and
developing limited the number of times the shutter was cycled.
With all those ones and zeros being considered "free" in
digital cameras, it is not uncommon to take several hundred or more
photos in a day. Even with a live-expectancy of 50.000 to
100,000 cycles, the shutters in digital cameras do reach the end of
their life and need to be replaced.

SOURCE: Tried to unlock Lexar SD 2GB and Lexar SDHC 4 GB - No luck
First of all, the 4GB card will never be able to work in your camera. Check on its face. It likely says SDHC, and SDHC cards as this format came out after your camera was designed (I know it looks exactly like a normal SD card, but it's not).
Now the 2GB card should work with your camera as it is a standard SD card. Remove the card from your camera. Look on the side of the card for the tiny slide switch, and slide it to the other "unlocked" position. Reinsert it in the camera, and see if that corrects the problem.
