Is the card you bought compatible with your camera? Older cameras cannot work with newer versions of memory cards. SD, SDHC,SDXC etc. have different form factors and old model cameras are not compatible with newer versions.
If the problem is related to the card, you might like to re-format the card from a computer before inserting it in the camera and then format it again from the camera.
Check and verify that before you try other solutions.
Not only the size is important, the manual says SD max 2 GB.
But even a 1GB SDHC card won't work, because the camera is not compatible with SDHC and SDXC.
They used to make SD cards up to 4 GB, but most new cards from 1 GB and up are SDHC and above 32 GB the cards are SDXC. Older camera's can't handle these cards, although they look the same.

I'm guessing that you're trying to format this card in a camera that is likely three years or older. Unfortunately the camera was probably designed before the SDHC format came out. Sorry, but there's no way the card will work in older cameras. It's meant for newer cameras, with high megapixel, and likewise high filesize demands.
On the side of the SDHC memory card is a sliding lock I have a diagram to show where this is and which direction to push the slider. Here is the diagram. Picture here Also to make the SDHC work compatible with your camera you need to format the memory card. Each time you download the picture files the memory card needs to be formatted, never format in the computer and expect the card to work in the camera.
SDHC cards are a very different animal under the skin to a standard SD card and so they're not back compatible with plain SD card readers (although SD cards can be used in SDHC devices).
There are hardware incompatibilities between SD and SDHC cards. They're upward compatible in that SDHC devices will accept SD cards but not the other way around. You will have to hunt down SD cards, 2GB and smaller.
The Z740 uses SD cards, not SDHC cards. SDHC cards will physically fit into the card slot but are not compatible. It's a hardware incompatibility, not updatable in firmware. You'll have to stay with 2GB and smaller SD cards.
I believe this camera only supports SD/MMC cards, not SDHC cards. Go to the kodak site to see the detailed specs. Not all devices support SDHC - most new ones do - but some only support the older SD cards.
Has this card EVER worked with your camera? Since you didn't mention the model number of the Canon, it's possible that you have a compatiblity issue here. Most 4GB SD cards these days are actually SDHC cards, which store memory differently (in sectors, like a hard disc drive, rather than bytes, like your main memory). All SDHC compatible cameras also support SD cards, but cameras sold before the SDHC standard was created will not support SDHC memory cards.
There's a chance that Canon has a firmware upgrade to solve this. You would have to look on the Canon USA web site for this, based on the model number of your camera.
