My kodak Easy Share Zoom Digital Camera Z612 will not format all the SD cards I buy..the last one I tried was SDHC 4GB. Why not?

Thanks...Kat
Re: My kodak Easy Share Zoom Digital Camera Z612 will not...
The Z612 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and won't work. You need to stay with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

You can Format by entering the camera's menu and find the format section. Click Here and see Pages 36-39 for detailed instructions on formatting your SD Card. Also your camera is not capable of reading the High Capacity SD cards (SDHC) so you will have to stick to the SD cards (2gb or smaller)
The Z612 uses MMC and SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible. You need to use cards 2GB and smaller.
The problem is that your camera is only compatible with SD cards, not
SDHC cards. You bought a larger card for your older camera, not
noticing that it was SDHC (or not knowing that it mattered). The new
card can't be formatted, not because it or the camera is broken, but because
it's not compatible.
Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD.
Cards of 4Gb are generally SDHC.
Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC.
(There are exceptions. Sometimes, manufacturers make 4Gb SDHC
cards but some have errors; they disable half of the chip and sell it
as 2Gb, but it's still SDHC. 4Gb cards are almost always SDHC because
they're cheaper, but 4Gb SD cards do exist. They are so rare that I've
even seen a guru on this site claim they don't. I did own one once, but
it was very expensive and turned out to be so unreliable that I had to
return it. I don't recommend
looking for one, because of the problems.)
Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it
doesn't say "SDHC" on it.
The Ultra card is larger than 2GB, isn't it? The Z612 uses SD cards. If your card is larger than 2GB then it's not an SD card but an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. While SDHC cards will fit into SD slots, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use SD cards 2GB and smaller in the Z612.
According to the manual, the Z612 uses MMC and SD cards.
Be careful not to try SDHC cards. They look similar to SD cards and will fit into the slot but are electronically incompatible. SD cards max out at 2GB in size.
You can't. The Z612 uses SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card and is incompatible with SD devices.
For SD cards (2GB and smaller), you'll find the Format operation in the Setup menu. Press the Menu button, then use up/down to select the wrench, then press OK.
