Although the answer to this question might be obvious, I thought I might ask anyway since I don't have a manual (in english) . . .
Is there any way to fix the card? Everything was working happily BUT just after I downloaded some pictures sucessfully, I couldn't take photos anymore and the message above is displayed after I try to take a shot.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do or if the card is cactus. Also if you know what happened that would be useful as well, since I was only doing what I usually do. . :D Thanks!!
I suggest you buy a new memory card...memory card errors usually occur when while loading pics your memory card is taken of or your computer or camera got turned off..Memory card problems are usually not solved best option is to buy a new one.

I'd suggest formatting your memory card, which is something you should do every you use the camera anyway. Obviously you need to copy any important photos to your PC before the format. These cards also have a write protection lock, so make sure that is not on, although the camera should warn you in that event.
Most likely it's a memory card error. Your memory card is either defective or corrupt. Try shooting video without the memory card in and see if you get any errors. Then put a different memory card in and see what happens. If after all that you don't get any errors than it is obviously your memory card that was corrupt.
When you say it did not work with the card reader, are you saying nothing appeared on your computer? No icon on your desktop, no Windows box offering ways to open your pics, and finally, did you open "my computer" to see if they appeared as a "removable disc"?
Although this answer is obviously not current any more I thought it may help others. We recently had the same problem with our machine. The clamp holding the hose to the detergent drawer became loose and the hose came off, allowing water to pour right down to the drain pump area. By undoing the 3 screws behind the detergent drawer + the 3 bolts around the door, I was able to open the front of the machine and tighten the hose clamp. ozfix
Your camera can only use standard SD cards up to 2GB capacity, and even then they must be formatted to FAT16 and not the usual FAT32 used on most pcs these days. Standard SD cards actually go up to 4GB and your camera would accept those with a suitable firmware update but Panasonic never released one and they certainly no longer support the FX8.
Most 4GB SD cards are actually SDHC cards, and your camera cannot handle these as it lacks the internal hardware to do so.
You'll need to stick to a standard SD card of 2GB maximum capacity: don't worry about the FAT16/FAT32 thing as your camera will correctly format the card when you first use it. Carrying 2 x 2GB cards is more reliable than carrying 1 x 4GB card anyway as you always have a spare if one of them fails.
I hope that you appreciate my answer and I ask in return only that you take a moment to rate my answer.
if you have a card reader ..remove the card and see what is it on it ...you might be surprised to find all your picture ( ones you thought are lost ) there ...anyway ..if you find anything just copy paste ..if not format the memory card ..in FAT ... I believe that this thing you can also to via data cable ...cause even without driver it will see the card into My computer as a removable device ...Some cameras even have the format option on the menu ....
The only thing I can think of is that the new memory card is locked. On the side of the SD card is a write protect switch that when engaged will prevent you from writing to the card. On the side of the SD card is a little tab that can slide up or down. Change positions and try again.
Hey there richman666, I have had similiar problems with card recognition in the past and the issue seems to have been related to a format problem occurring when you use other programs to alter contents of the card. I solved my problem by reformatting the card in the camera after I deleted all contents using a card reader connected to my computer. Alternately, you may want to try another smaller size card (512mb). Some cameras are not recognizing the new cards with larger memory. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
