Help with memory card saying unable to format

Hi Eric :)
Please try formatting the Memory card using your computer first in the following manner:
>> Insert the memory card into memory card slot / memory card reader
>> Check the drive letter that it has been assigned by the computer
>> Right click on the drive and select Format option
>> Now this is very important.. Select FAT file system from the drop down options (DO NOT select FAT32).
>> Now Format the card and then try formatting the same card in Camera.
Let me know if that works for you.

Regards,
Srinivas
