How do i get an 8gb sd card to work in my vivitar dvr-530 cam corcoder?

The DVR-530 works with SD cards, which max out at 2GB. Your 8GB card is actually an SDHC, not an SD card. While SDHC cards fits into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work in this camcorder. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way this camera works.

The only sd card i can find locally is an 8gb marked PNY SD HC it says on the packaging that this is new technology and only compatible with SD HC host devices. Is this card suitable for the Vivitar...

To be correct, the 8GB card is not an SD card but an SDHC card.

The 925DVR can use both SD and SDHC cards, up to 32GB in size. There should be no problems with the PNY card.

I have DVR 518, I put a SD card in with pic's on it and it said 0

This camera supports up to 8GB SD memories, if your SD has this or less capacity, and it's not write protected, you should copy all the files from SD in your computer and try to format the SD with your camera.

DVR 518 question regarding sd card compatibility;- will the product accept a SDHC card to 8gb I have difficulty in getting a standard SD card

Hi,

The manual is not very precise but you cannot get normal SD cards that go to up 8gb, the highest is 2gb.

When they say 8gb they must mean SDHC.

Hope this helps.

It can use MMC cards or SD cards or SDHC cards up to 8GB in size.

SD cards top out at 2GB. 4GB and larger cards are technically SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards.

Camera won't come on with new SD card inserted.

perhaps your card is Locked...there should be a white tab on the side of it. check to see if it is in the locked position.

Is the vivitar dvr 530 compatible with sdhc cards

Plug the SD card with contact terminals facing away from battery. It most likely is using internal memory which is much smaller. All cards under 4gb are normal SD. The camera should be able to format the card, or use an adapter and windows will format (default settings).
