SD Card error

What does this mean? It comes up every time I turn on my camera. I checked the card and it is inserted properly. I can't find anything in the manual about 'SC card error'. Can you help? Thanks.

I put a new SD card in my camera, turn the camera on and the screen reads 'card error.' What kind of error does this mean and what can I do about it?

Hi, Since the SC card is properly inserted, then it is possible that you have to format the memory card. Go to the camera's utilities/menu and look for the format function. Perform format operation on the card. Hopefully this should revive/restore the card to an operational status. This of course would erase all data/photos inside the memory card. Good luck and kind regards.

Samsung SL202 card error I bought an SD card with adapter and camera says "card error".

Question edited for clarity.

This is always because people buy modern SD Cards that are far too bit for older cameras. The maximum size for an SD Card is 2GB. Also you must format the card inside the camera.

Suddenly and unexpectedly I cannot insert my SD card won't click into place is there anything I can try myself or do I need to take my camera to be repaired?

First check to see the tiny switch on the side is in the on position, then flip the card over and try inserting the SD card. If same problem persist, check to see if there is any foreign element caught up in the card slot. You could use a small paper clip (pull it into a length of wire first) to probe the opening, then knock it gently on you palm to see if anything falls out. This will clear any obstruction in the compartment. You can insert the card by trial and cleaning several times.

When I insert the sd card the fisher price camera will not work. It turns on but freezes immediatly. It is an 8g sd card. Help please?

8G means it's an SDHC card, not an SD. I doubt the fisher-price camera is designed for SDHC cards.

Digital camera about 4 years old, take pics, they are on screen when reviewed, but when I put SD card in computer they do not come on the computer. Couple of days later, took more pics, put SD card in...

Possible that the SD card is having errors, So take a scan on the card and confirm. Also check the card on another PC to confirm if there are images on the card. If not there can be errrors in the camera. It will be ideal to have another SD card ( borrowed) to be inserted to the camera to confirm.

What does no card mean? Thank you.

"No card" means that either

You have not inserted a memory card
The memory card is not formatted, or
The memory card is damaged and therefore can't be read by the camera.

How to insert the memory card:

Open the camera’s battery door by sliding it downwards.
Insert the SD card into the slot as shown inside the camera’s battery compartment. The SD card can only be inserted one way.
Press the SD card completely into the camera and then close the door. Open the door and press on the memory card if you wish to remove it.

Note: There is only one way to insert the SD memory card into the slot. Do not force the card into the slot. This may damage both the camera and the SD memory card.

Before you can use the card, it has to be formatted:

Insert the memory card into your camera as described above.
Turn the camera on by pressing the power button.
Use the multi-select button to select the "SET" option.
Press the right arrow button to set "System" then press down key to select "Format".
The default option is ‘Format’. Select this option by pressing the OK button.
Select "Yes" to format the card.

If all this does not work it might be that your SD card is damaged. Try to replace it with another one. If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

Nikon D40 Memory Card Error

Hello. Make sure the write-protect switch on the SD card is in the UP (nearer to the contacts) position. Try the card in an SDHC capable reader on your computer first. Note that the SD card can only be inserted one way - make sure you're not putting it in upside-down! If the computer recognizes the presence of inserted card (whether it can read it or not), format it at FAT32. When finished, remove properly (icon in system tray) and insert into your D40 slot, WITH THE CAMERA OFF!! Turn on the D40, and if it now recognizes the SD card, FORMAT it again, in the camera. Good luck.

Card Error

If you should see the warning message "CARD ERROR" in the LCD Display, please check the following: Always choose reliable quality SD Cards. Toshiba Digital Cameras are tested for maximum performance with Toshiba SD Cards, Delkin SD Cards and Panasonic SD Cards. These are leading brands in the development of standard SD technology. Performance by other brands of SD cards may vary. Check the LOCK switch on the SD Card. The camera can not save images to an SD Card when it is in the lock protected position. If the SD Card is NEW, it may be necessary to FORMAT the card. This only applies to NEW SD Cards. If you format a card with images, all images will be erased. You can FORMAT your card periodically to maximize capacity and erase 'unseen' files, please be sure to download all images before choosing FORMAT as all images will be erased. Your Toshiba Digital Camera is designed for use with SD Cards. MultiMedia Cards are similar in size and shape to SD Cards, although with close inspection you will find that SD Cards have a different 'PIN" connection configuration, are slightly thicker in size, and have a manual slide LOCK switch on the side. Toshiba Digital Cameras are not designed or guaranteed to accept MultiMedia Cards. Please be sure to look for SD Cards from Toshiba, Panasonic and Delkin, the leaders in SD Card Technology.

Why does the night vision lighting not work on my Cobra RXCamView? I have 2 cameras paired to my IPhone.

Pixpro AZ528 brand new doesn't turn on Yesterday I bought a Kodak Pixpro AZ528, got it home put together, and it wouldn't turn on. When plugged into the wall the screen said battery 100%. The charging indicator then went off. Unplugged from wall, still wouldn't turn on. Returned and got a different of the same camera, and it's doing the exact same thing. I've tried resetting while plugged into the charger, holding power button 20 seconds (as suggested somewhere else) to no avail. Seems weird that two of the same brand new cameras wouldn't work. Any suggestions?
