I cleared my picts off card via usb, wnet to use camera & read "memory card error". So, I tried to re-format, & camera ties to format but message comes back "card not formatted". I then went & bought a new sd card & the camera is still coming up with same messages. What's the problem? I also had some fogging of the lens this past winter, while taking outdoor picts (20 degrees temp), could that be contributing to this problem??

Re:
Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If
not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from
Amazon.com or Buy.com
2
Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available
drives.
3
Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
4
In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
5
Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a
non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do
in the first place.
6
Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it
into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to
make sure it works fine now.

Hi there,
The camera port only supports USB-equipped digital cameras that support Pict-Bridge. If you attach a USB device that is not compactible digital camera (or Bluetooth adaptor) to the camera port, an error message appears on the color graphics display. If you have an older HP-brand digital camera, try using the USB that came with the camera. PLug it into the USB port on the back of the HP-all-in-one and not into the camera port near the memory card slots, This works with HP digital cameras only.
By default, Windows XP will format a memory card of 8 MB or less and 64 MB more with the FAT32 format, Digital cameras and other devices use the FAT (FAT 16 or FAT 12) format and cannot operate with a FAT32 formatted card. Either format your memory card in your camera or select FAT format to format your memory card in a Windows XP PC.
Some camera's, especially older ones, have a limit as to the maximum size of the memory card that they support. Look in the manual to see what the camera can support.
pls format the card in Camera thru menu options u will see FORMAT option use it and then check otherwise , first format it on PC and choose FAT16 to format the card and then format one more time on the camera it will work definately
1. Apple users have reported that the switch on the memory cards performs the file lock function in either extreme positions Lock/Unlock. In some cases they have achieved success in centering the Lock/Unlock switch allowing access to the read/write operation of the memory card
2. Connect to PC
Access drive via windows explorer
Right click on drive (MEMORY CARD)
Select properties
Confirm that RO (Read Only) is not selected.
Selected RO
Try reading card
Repeat properties un-select RO
Try deleting files
Some card readers struggle with high capacity (SD-HC) cards and indeed some older devices.
If you (or a friend) has a lower capacity card (less than 2GB) try that in you camera and then pc.
You can purchase a VERY cheap USB card reader (c.£10 max) and it should sort your problem - I hope!
