Will a 32 kg dane-elec memory card work with a Kodak easyshare P850?

Are you in the Review mode when you press the MENU button? What type and size memory card do you have in the camera?

If you just purchased this camera, you can try phoning place of purchase or make a trip there. It sounds as if the software in camera may be messed up.

The P850 is specified to use SD cards, not SDHC cards. SD cards max out at 2GB.

Since you did not give much info, let us try.

Make sure you have the correct card for the camera you have.
This camera Kodak Easyshare P850 requires the following memory card. MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital (SD) Card.

Since this camera is a few years old 5.1 mpxl, it may have a limit on the size of cd card you can use. If you are using a large card, go to a smaller card and see what happens, for instance a 512 meg. card.
This camera may have an upgrade for the firmware, and may make it work better. You have to check the Kodak site for such upgrades and info on how to install the upgrade to the firmware.
If upgrades for the firmware is available, it will improve some of the features on the camera. Always worth the time to check.

Hope it works.

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

But try an firmware upgrade. Maybe the supporting now the 2 GB memory cards.
Why download firmware version 1.07?
This firmware version improves memory card compatibility and provides general performance updates.

The write protection is on the card (a little "pin").

also having same problem after 18 months of no problems. As well, camera will not read memory cards which I have used in this camera almost since new. Format card, still no read. Sometimes when I take first photo, lens retracts as though camera is powering off but then changes it's mind and is o.k.
