HELP!!! Service provider recommendation..

My 2.0 GB SanDisk memory card for my Nikon Coolpix L4 digital camera is not working. When I turn on the camera it says that the card is not formatted. When I click format it says the pictures will all be deleted. The malfunction began suddenly when I was trying to take a pictured during the end of my family vacation. I returned from vacation yesterday and my family and I greatly hope to retrieve these pictures in order to remember our great times. Please help us solve this problem, it will be greatly appreciated. You told me in a response to this that i should find a service provider...are there any reccommendations?

I tried the same thing and found that this camera will take only a 512 card or smaller. I think this may be the problem, but i am not an expert

I have a problem with my memory card which supplied with nikon coolpix l4 and its is 512MB.now 512mb is not available so could i replace it with 2GB memory card.also let me know that 2GB card will support...

The L4 and its software will work with any size SD cards. Make sure you get SD cards, not SDHC cards. SD cards go up to 2GB, while SDHC cards start at 4GB and go up.

Nikon Camera does not accept any memory card

Try formatting the card in the camera, not the computer.

You should be able to use SD cards up to 2GB. Don't go any larger; those are SDHC cards and will not work in the L4.

Regarding starting on the camera

This camera is now ten years old, and will only take an SD card, with a max limit of 2GB. It cannot recognise or use a more modern SDHC card, which is what I suspect you have been trying to use.

Nikon Coolpix 4600: Problem: It won't take any photos, it reads: THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED. The card is 128 MB. I purchased a new card: 2GB but it won't work also. My manual says to clean the contacts...

1) Have you formatted the cards?

2) Try the cards in the card reader in your computer to see if they can be read.

3) Try the "switch off camera - remove and replace battery - switch on camera" trick with the original 128 Mb card in place. This will reset the camera's memory.

4) Note the type of card is important - not all cards can be used in a camera (especially some of the latest bigger ones) - check the type of cards supported by your camera.

I found this at the Nikon USA site (note that the 2 GB card is not listed - as said "Cards are not all the same" and use different drivers to operate them):

Question Which Secure Digital Cards are approved for use in the Coolpix 4600/5600?

Answer The Nikon Quality Department has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 4600/5600:

SD memory cards:
SanDisk 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 256 MB*, 512 MB, 512MB*, 1 GB
Panasonic 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB*, 512 MB*,1 GB
Toshiba 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 128 MB*, 256 MB, 256 MB*, 512 MB

*High speed type of 10 MB/s or over

Other brands and capacities of cards may work, but Nikon cannot guarantee their operation. Check with the manufacturer of the third-
party card for compatibility information. Nikon recommends keeping one of the approved cards available for troubleshooting.

Memory card malfunction

Pictures can sometimes be recovered by sending the card to a service provider, or by downloading software designed to recover the pictures from the card. It is not clear weather the problem is the card or the camera, however to recover the pictures from the card would be the same process. If you do not have one you will need to buy a USB card reader to load the card on the computer. Consider buying another card to test in the camera, if you so wish. If the camera is new enough also consider contacting the manufacturer for warranty assistance. David Millier Advance Camera Repair
