SDHC memory card

I cannot find a Coolpix L1 it may be real old
If the camera is OLD 4GB will not work in it. many small cameras do have some memory inside.
You have to get an older SD that is much less memory.

The Coolpix L110 can work with SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB. If you bought a SDXC card, it won't work in your camera. I don't think Nikon will come with an update of the firmware, only for bigger memory cards, because you can shoot hundreds of pictures already on a 32 GB card. Also be sure the Lock switch on the side of the card is in the unlock position. Like the 64GB card on the picture.

SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but many cameras won't work with the SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.

Another possibility- SD type cards have a little switch on the card that can write protect or "lock" it. Take the card out of the camera and check this switch. To unlock it, it should be moved towards the edge of the card which has the electrical contacts.

Finally, it may be that the card is not formatted. Most come pre-formatted, but there is a format function in the camera that you can try. Formatting deletes anything already on the card.

The list of cameras that can use SDHC cards would be in the thousands....not very practical. Anyway, unfortunately your camera cannot use them.

A couple things you might try.. remove the card carefully and check the position of the "lock" tab. Make sure it is fully in the unlocked position - not locked or a point between the two positions. Reinsert and try again.

It sounds lie you're using a card reader to download the pictures - try formatting the card while in the card reader via computer. The card should be completely empty when the format is complete. You can even try copying files to and from the card to make sure its ok and format again. When complete, try again in camera.

If the problem persists, check to make sure the card is on Nikon approved memory card list for use with the Coolpix L1 (provided below):

I hope this helps!

No. The 4600 works with SD cards, not SDHC cards.

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.

Hi,
That camera does not support SDHC cards only SD memory cards, take the card back and i expect they will gladly swap it for you.
