I have a Kodak easy share z740 and it won't let me

Format card in your computer first, using FAT 32 then try again in camera

The Z740 works with MMC and SD cards. Your 8GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use MMC or SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

This assumes it's a Z740.

The Z740 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot it won't work. You need to go with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

In the menu, there should be an entry for "copy" giving you the option to copy the internal memory to a memory card.

Get a separate card reader and use it to download your pics to your computer. Then, format the card in the camera.

If the memory card replacement is an SDHC model card the Kodak z740 will not work with it. The memory card has to be a standard SD card of 2 gig size or less to properly function. Take card out and turn on camera. See if you get same error. You should get missing card error but otherwise be able to operate camera controls such as zoom, flash, etc. If that is fine find old card you used and place back in camera... or purchase a standard SD card from Walmart for 10 dollars

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.

My Z740 won't format my memory card. When I turn it on - it says memory card needs formatted. I tell it to format - and it just repeats the Memory Card requires formatting message.
