Memory card error - Pentax *ist DS Digital Camera

This must be very upsetting for you - what make and model of camera has this occurred on ?

Does the camera accept SDHC cards (which is what you have)? if not that is the problem.

well, bro! I think your phone memory card is error or damged, because of the frequent data transport, and the reasons for error memory card are various, for example unpluging memory card without shutting down mobile phone, formatting the card in wrong way, and virus attack, etc.
and after error, the data in the memory card may damages and you have to formate the memory card for reusing. And how to recover data from error memory card, you can know more from here: http://goo.gl/CMfQI

Hi,
If the camera displays Memory card error or No Memory Card when a memory card is inserted or any of the above error messages, make sure that the card is inserted properly. If this is the case, you may wish to Format the memory card in the camera using the Setup Menu option [Format] as shown below. Please be aware that formatting the memory card will remove any images currently stored on the card along with any other data. This can also be caused when images shot with another camera are stored on the memory card.
If after formatting the card in the camera the error persists, try another memory card. If this occurs with only the one card it is likely that the memory card is defective, if the error persists over more than one card the camera may require service. If the card appears to be defective you may wish to contact the memory card manufacturer.
Thank you!!

Hi,
If camera show Memory Card Error, Check whether the card is inserted properly or not. For SD card, check out the card lock switch is in the correct position and not stuck in between.
You can Format the memory card in the camera using the Setup Menu option (Format). Please be aware that formatting the memory card will remove any images currently stored on the card along with any other data.

instead of quick format, use the full format.  Then put back in your camera and format again with the camera.
