Memory care error (by 3 users)
posted by mmelancon on Jun 20, 2008
When I turn the camera on, after just taking pictures these words come up "This card cannot be used" what should I do? Do I need to format the memory card disc or just buy a new memory card disc?

GuruYou will probably have to reformat the SD card. This can happen once in a while as SD cards are often subjected to a lot on trips etc.
Tips to good removable device use:
Tips to good removable device use:
- Careful storing your camera for extended periods of time in extreme heat or cold.
- When not using an SD card for an extended period of time remove it from the camera and store it in a plastic SD card case or other storage container away from magnets, microwaves, and household pets.
- When removing your camera from the computer, use the safely remove device utility in Windows, don't just yank it out.
- Large capacity SD cards mean more data to lose. SD cards are like floppy disks, do not rely on your SD card to archive photos, documents, etc. Backup SD cards to your drive or burn them to CD frequently.

If recovery of the pictures is a big deal or if the media will not allow you to reformat. SD cards operate like any removable media. Many of the utilities made for hard drive and disk drive recovery will also work on your SD card.

All SD cards are not created equal. Not only that, but I've found that the camera "format" feature is not always all that good. Some Kodak and Canon are proprietary, some use PC dos, some format it like a floppy (FAT16), others like a disk (FAT32 or even NTFS). This may be contributing to your misery.
If your camera will support it, I would format your SD card on a Windows XP machine and make sure that the camera is set to act as a USB drive and not PTP.
