I just recently purchased a 2 gigabyte SanDisk memory card and when I put it in my camera it just says "error" then goes to a screen where it says "Format Media" and "Are you sure?" and if I press yes it just goes to the menu and if I say no, then it turns off. Then I turn the menu off and it says "error" again. Help! I need this memory card before I go to Australia on Friday!
I have the exact same problem, and i am also using a 2 GB memory card. when you used a 512 MB, did it work? I dont want to buy another one if it is not necessary.Thanks
Couple possibilities. first I would try formatting the card from a pc. do you buy any chance have a card reader for your computer. in xp you just right click on the card and format it. if that dosn't work there is a chance that the card is defective. go to the store you bought it and see if they can help you there. Sorry if that dosn't help. Have fun in Australia btw. And good luck

Actually, I found out by stumbling across it online that my camera can't hold more than 512 mb of memory and my memory card is 2 gb. So I guess I'll just get a new one and try to return that one. Thanks anyway!
Yeah, I found out that my camera can only use up to a 512 mb memory card, so it wouldn't use the 2 gb one.
Yeah, it worked when I got the 512 mb one.
