Formatting SD Card to shoot stills

Following the steps in the manual to "initialize" the SD Card, I cant get the screen to show the Format menu. Its keep going to the Video Playback Menu ( even when Video/Memory switch is set to Memory). I cant shoot stills until I format the SD cards, right? I have a Panasonic 4GB HC SD card. Help please. Thanks. Wilfred

Hello Sir

  • Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com
  • 2 Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.
  • 3 Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
  • 4 In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
  • 5 Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place.
  • 6 Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.

    If your Storio displays a blank blue screen upon start up, please perform the below procedure to restore the Storio back to factory standard - please note this procedure requires the use of a blank SD memory card and some form of SD card reader (either a port on the PC or a USB SD reader)

    •Insert your SD card into the SD reader port on your PC or via a USB SD card reader - this should appear as a removable disk under your computer menu

    •Double click the Vtech Icon located in your downloads folder to run the program - Click Continue

    •Click 'Make Recover Program Card' then click 'Next'

    •From the drop down menu, select the removable disk drive allocated to the SD card (drive E shown for demonstration purposes, the actual drive allocated to your SD card may differ)

    •The application will now format the SD card with the Storio factory default operating system

    How do I initialize the card?  The camera won't let me shoot, a message pops up says card is not initialized.

    Hello,

    The manual gives three options if this warning shows.
    (1)
    The memory card has not been formatted.
    To format the card select Format on Setup Menu 1.
    (2)
    The memory contacts require cleaning.
    Clean the contacts with a soft dry cloth.
    (3)
    Camera malfunction.
    Contact a FujiFilm dealer.

    When i put my r4 into my ds its just says cant find menu?

    hi it sounds like a software problem. follow the following instructions. Please can you try and reformat the 2gb micro sd card in your pc and copy firmware from the CD back onto the 2gb micro sd card following the instructions below. be warned that formating will remove even the games from the card so make sure you have a backup of the games saved to your computer. any saved games will also be erased.

    To format the 2gb micro sd card
    1. Insert sd card into usb stick and into usb port.
    2. Close autoplay screen if it appears.
    3. Right click on removeable drive. (Eg D, E, F or J etc) that appeared on screen in computer window.
    4. Left click on format in menu and when format window appears, tick quick format box and select ok. This will erase all content on the sd card and remove any corrupt firmware.

    To reload firmware
    1. Insert cd into pc cd/dvd drive.
    2. Open cd drive on screen and copy and paste the files and folders from the system/english 1.18 folder on the cd to the removeable drive that the usb and micro sd card are in. The folders that you will copy are "_system_" and "moonshl" and the files will be "menu.dat" and "mshl.nds".
    3. Once copied, check removeable drive to ensure files and folders have copied over.
    4. Remove usb stick from pc and insert sd card back into R4. R4 menu should appear on DS screen.
    this normaly sorts this out. paul
