Card not initializing

Your camera wants you to format the card in the camera. This will erase it so download any pictures you want to save first using a card reader if necessary.

"Card not initialized" means that you have to format the card in the camera.

Hi,

My manual sugests the following for that error:

The memory card or internal memory is not formatted or the memory card was formatted in a computer or other device.
Fix: Format the memory card or internal memory using the Format option in the camera setup menu option.


The memory card requires cleaning.
Fix: Clean the memory card contacts with a soft dry cloth. If problem persists, format the memory card.

Camera malfunction.
Fix: Contact a Fuji dealer.

Hope this helps.

Hi

The reason you are having this problem is that the maximum size memory card supported by this camera is 2GB. Any card with a larger capacity - like your 4 GB card - can not be initialised by the camera.

Hope this helps. Please do remember to rate my answer. Many Thanks.

Hi, Mark here, see if this works.

Try reformatting it on your computer then try in camera. Sometimes the cards get hung up this has worked in the past.

The instruction manual should have instructions on how to set it to use the SD or DVD. I'll have to find myself a copy and figure it out for you. if you have the manual on a CD or on your computer

go into settings of your digi cam and use the format option , thats should solve your problem

You will need to format the card in the camera. This will be in the settings menu. This will erase any images on the card.

just wondering if you figured out how to "fix" it...i realize you didn't get any suggestions...this happened to my camera last night i'm going to be a tid bit pissed if we can't retrieve the pictures from the card...just got back from hawaii...awesome timing huh
