My C-350 ZOOM will not format a 1 GB XD card - Olympus Cameras

According to user manjual, Olympus C750 accepts XD cards up to 256mb only, But according to info made availble by Olympus it can take up to 512 mb cards.

I have never tried my self using othre than 128 mb card, except once I tried to use 1 gb card and it reported error saying 'cannot format'.


I bleieve Olympus hasn't made attempts to make availble a firmware upgrade as the camera doesnt have ne more etramemory to accept updates.

Try formatting the card on your pc, connect the card to a card reader, open my computer find the card, right click format, try standard fat first and format. if that doesn't work try Fat 32.

You probably just need to format the card in the camera to get it to work.

The problem is that the largest xD card that your camera can support is an M or H 512mb card. The 1gb or 2gb cards are not compatible. The firmware in the camera cannot support memory storage with that capacity. The camera came out before those cards did and there no plans to upgrade the camera to allow those types of cards to be supported.

Yes definitly.
You can use XD cards of 1GB.

If helpful, kindly Rank

If this is a C-700 camera the only memory card that can be used in that camera is a Smartmedia card from 16mb to 128mb. An xD card is not even supported by that camera at all.

The max card size for the camera is either M or H512mb. Try the following website to locate cards for sale www.oempcworld.com

this camera caanoot support any xd card which says m or h.
the maximum card supported in this camera is 256 mb but make sure it doesnt say m or h.

purchase another card (smaller memory and cheaper...as a test). install it. if it works, then read file folder names under windows and then copy these folders over to the 1GB card.
