SD message error

Memory card (size) used is probably exceeding camera capability.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

The largest SD card you can use is 2GB, but that's only because SD cards only go up to 2GB. You can also use SDHC cards from 4GB to 32GB. You cannot use larger SDXC cards.

If it's a brand new card, it needs to be formatted with the camera. If it's been used before, the files may have been corrupted when plugged into your (or another) computer.

It is likely that an internal metal contact (one or several ones) inside the sdcard reader are bent, or damaged.

You will need to have your camera reviewed by a qualified technician to have it repaired, since it requires open the camera and evaluate the sd card reader mechanism.

Best regards,

vebhat,
Make sure the little slide on the SD card is in the right position, and if it's a high capacity SD it might not be compatible with your camera...

Its possible that there may be an error on the camera try to reset the camera by

1. Turn the mode lever to the camera or play button
2. Press and hold the MENU button for more than 5 seconds.
3, The message "reset settings to default?" appears
4. Use teh arrow buttons to selelct ok. then press the SET button.
5. It should then reset the camera.
AFter doing that and the problem is still there. Format the memory card using the camera.

I hope this has answered your question sufficiently. If you have more questions please post a reply and i would be happy to assist. Thanks.

I get a memory card error everytime I insert a memory card. They are not locked and I have tried 4 different memory cards and nothing works. How can this problem be fixed?

chances are its the size of the pictures the camera is set to take,you will have to make them smaller, and lower quality to raise the amount of pictures you can take.The instructions on how to do that should be in the manual, or you can try the 1 i found on their site.


Changing the Resolution and Compression
1. With the camera power on, press the <FUNC./SET> button.

2. In the Function menu select L* or using the or button.
* The current setting is displayed.
3. Select the resolution or compression you wish to set using the or button.
You can shoot the image right after selecting settings by pressing the shutter button. This screen will appear again, once the image is shot.
6. Press the <FUNC./SET> button.
7. Shoot the image.


i hope that helps,later you might want to invest in a bigger memory card, 16mb is very small.Id go for a 512mb or a 1gb SD memory card ,then you'll be able to take more larger quality pictures.

When i insert memory card it says not allowed
