What type and size memory card? The CX4230 works with MMC and SD cards, 2GB or smaller. It will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

SOURCE: Format Memory Card Error

The problem with the c350 is that it does not accept a memory card higher than 1GB! I found that out through the Kodak website and not in the User's Guide!

SOURCE: Won't format new memory card

Your camera is not SDHC compatible. It will only support standard SD cards. Sorry.

I hope this helps.

SOURCE: memory cards wont format, says card is full

Is the write protection enabled on the cards?
Which size having the cards?

The spec for the SD card format is going to 2GB but the Kodak C330 not compatible with 2 GB SD memory cards.

Click

But try an firmware upgrade.
Why download firmware version 1.07?
This firmware version improves memory card compatibility and provides general performance updates.

If your using more than 2GB of SD card or if yous using the SDHC card it will not format the Memory card.

Try to used the recommended Memory card 2GB or 1GB SD card It will reformat your card. Too Much or too High SD card is not compatible on DX camera series

Hello Rainfeather,

You should try formatting your newly bought memory card using your digital camera so it will become compatible with your device. Don't format it using a computer, use your camera. You didn't mention the brnd and model of your digital camera so I can't tell you the step by step on how to format it, but it shoud be somewhere in the settings / storage menu.

The camera is telling you that the internal memory is full. To get your card to work, you must clear it. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, your card should work unless you formatted it in the computer, in which case you'll have to format (completely erases it) it in the camera.

My Kodak Easy Share C875 keeps telling me to reformat or format memory card. So I try to do that and it says something about "write" (I can't tell you exactly what it says because...

First of all, keep in mind that "format" completely erases the card and returns it to a somewhat "like new" state. If you have pics on the card, they should be downloaded to your computer first. Then, formatting the card in the camera should solve a lot of problems.

Camera will not format sd card nor does it show a card in the camera

Something tells me that you're trying to use a brand new 4GB SDHC card. If so, your camera was designed before SDHC format came out. You'll need to use standard SD cards, those 2gb or less. Search on Amazon for "SD card 2GB". They run about 6 to 7 dollars total with shipping.
For others with similar problems, There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. Other causes include problems with the tiny slide switch on the side of the card, or the electrical contact switch internal to the camera. The problem may also arise from simple formatting problems if the card has never been formatted in the camera (note that this will also erase the card). Troubleshooting tips for this problem may be found at this link.

My c703 won't format a new memory card. The old memory card is full (2GB), but I've tried two NEW Lexar 4GB cards and neither will format. Help!

Hi, The reason neither 4GB card will format is because that camera is only able to support, at most, a 2GB card. I'd suggest returning the 4GB card and getting another 2GB one.
