Formatting sd card

Make sure you have an SD card. If your card is 4GB or larger then it's actually an SDHC card and won't work in your camera.

What make and model camera? Are you sure you have an SD card and not an SDHC card?

Hi Lara

I would take the battery out to reset it and put the chip in and then the battery and fire it up.
You can also clear the sd card in windows to avoid naming issues
After the card is accepted format it with the camera so the directory structure on the sd is restored

pls add thumbs if happy or leave me a comment if still in sorrow

cheers

Format your SD card

this is what i did, and it worked perfectly. go out and get a sd card * any gig u want* as soon as u put the sd card into the camera, FORMAT IT!!!!. do that before u do anything else. don't format it on ur pc or laptop. format it on the camera. if u do that it will work perfectly. i don't know why it wasn't in the manual to format sd card first. but if u try to take pics first, that will mess up the entire system and u will be assed out a sd card. it took me 3 sd cards to figure this out. the cards worked fine but not in the camera. then i formatted it on the camera first and it works fine. the other sd cards i use for other things, i won't discard them but they won't work in the cam. but remember again GET NEW SD CARD AND FORMAT THE CARD IN THE CAMERA FIRST.

Remove the card...turn on the camera and go into the menu...find "reset"...follow the on-screen instructions. Then try to format the card again.

Use a separate card reader to download your pics to a computer...then, format the card in the camera.

either the card is not supported or it needs formatting
