I have a Nikon E5400, ver 1.3. I bought a 4GB Kingston CF card; the package said "formatted and ready to use". On inserting into camera, the message flashed that the card is not formatted. So I proceeded to format. The next message that flashes is "Out of Memory". Questions: 1) is the CF card defective? 2) is E5400 incapable of reading a 4GB CF card, should we use only CF cards <1GB? 3) Will a firmware version upgrade to v1.4 help? 4) Any other reason why this could happen?
So far as I am aware, the 5400 will support only up to 2GB cards. As to the firmware upgrade you mention, I don't recall that that has any bearing on the max. card capacity; but it's worth doing for the RAW format support (for me, at least). Cheers and good shooting. Davo, Tas.

I have had a 5400 for a few years. Over the last year 1/2 the CF access door doesn't close all the way. If I close it completely the compact flash card is ejected enough to cause an error on the screen. Of course no pictures can be taken. It must have a faulty spring. Since it's out of warranty IO have to fix myself or pitch the camera. It is very annoying.
