Memory card error

I have got a Panasonic DMC TZ70 I could not find out using the manual how to format the memory card. I discovered how .. set the mode dial at the top of the camera to MANUAL, then select menu then you can keep arrowing down until you find FORMAT, click yes and it's done.

If you "formatted" the card using the 'FAT16' file-system format, the maximum size is 2 billion bytes (1.87 Gigabytes).
Copy all the files onto your computer, and reformat it with the 'FAT32' file-system format, which does support your 8 billion bytes of memory.

All you have to do is

Step One
To save data, use EASEUS Data Recovery software (free version - 1GB of data recovery). how:
1. Download and install EASEUS Data Recovery
2. Insert micro SD
3. Open EASEUS Data Recovery, choose Complete Recovery - Next
4. Select the drive micro SD - Next
5. Save the data to the hard disk (max. 1GB)
6. Because of your micro SD 2GB, repeat the process of recovery (repeat step 2, 3, 4, 5)
After all data is secure, do the process repair micro SD

Step Two
The first alternative - use the software HP Drive Key Boot Utility

Using the HP Drive Key Boot Utility, for Win XP
1. Download and install the software HP Drive Key Boot Utility
2. Then, double click the file cp006049.exe - select Install.



3. Insert micro SD
4. Then, open the program "HP Drive Key Boot Utility" - Next - select drive - Next - Create new or replace exiting configuration - Next - Hard drive - Next - Create new file system - Next - wait until the process is completed - Next - Create firmware flash package - Next - Finish.
5. Remove the micro SD from the USB port, then insert it again.
6. Quick format micro SD (FAT file system)
7. Restore all data, to the micro SD.

Using the HP Drive Key Boot Utility, for Win Vista or Seven
1. Download and install the software HP Drive Key Boot Utility
2. Then, double click the file cp006049.exe - select Extract



3. Insert micro SD
4. Then, double click file hpdkbu.exe - Next - select drive - Next - Create new or replace exiting configuration - Next - Hard drive - Next - Create new file system - Next - wait until the process is completed - Next - Create firmware flash package - Next - Finish.
5. Remove the micro SD from the USB port, then insert it again.

The second alternative - use software HDD Low Level Format Tool
1. Download and install HDD Low Level Format Tool
2. Insert micro SD
3. Open program HDD Low Level Format Tool, select micro SD - continue
4. Click S.M.A.R.T - click Get Smart Attributes

6. Wait until the process is complete - press OK
7. Remove the micro SD from the USB port, then insert it again.
8. Quick format micro SD (FAT file system)

I hope this information helps.

Hi,

The chances on any micro sd card showing errors can be either the files stored in it are corrupted or the card is simply bad already. You may try to identify the problem by performing the following steps.

1· Access micro sd card through a card reader. May it be built-in in a computer or an accessory that needs to be plugged-in to a computer.
2· Wait for a few seconds for the computer to read the micro sd card.
a· If it asked you to "open the folder to view files", do so then copy all contents in a new folder on your desktop. This is to make a backup copy of your files. Then, format the micro sd card with FAT32 format. Copy all files back to your micro sd card.
b· If it asked you to format the micro sd card, most likely all files are corrupted. Try to format the card for re-use. If not successful, your micro sd card is bad already and needs replacement.

I hope this works for you. Good Luck!

"Understanding explains better..."

Each camera have maximum memory card to be readable. If the memory capacity is to high from the limit, the camera will hard to write the data inside the card and said that "card error".
Try to insert memory card with lower capacity (4 or 2 GB) and read the user manual to know optimum memory card for your device.

Hope this help and RATE please !

Please try to insert it into another computer if the same error prevails uou have to replace your micro sd its bad.

Is it the SD memory card? or the Micro HDD(4GB) you're pertaining to. In case of micro hdd not detected or error, micro hdd socket(CF) assembly has a problem most likely, need to be replaced. SD card; check your SD card's capacity, it can handle only up to 2GB or try to format your card elsewhere and re insert it again in your camcorder, if it will prompt you "FORMAT SD CARD?" you're lucky

Hi.. I think you have solved the problem yourself... replace the adapter with a memory stick... You have eliminated the micro sd card as bad... now try a new known good memory stick..

Thanks
