Put an OLD card it and GO to TOOL menu and then FORMAT the card. if it cannot Format try another card. If it fails more than a few times the camera 'may' have problems.

Inspect your SD card carefully. Some SD cards come with a write-protect lock switch on the side of the card. When looking at an SD card from the top there is one required notch on the right side (the side with the diagonal notched corner) and on the left side there is usually a switch. This is the write-protect switch. When this write-protect switch is in the down position (away from the end that is inserted) then it is write protected and read-only. When the switch is in the up position it is write enabled.

SOURCE: memory card cannot be used

Follow these steps: 1. If you have a SD card reader, insert the SD card and look for it in Windows Explorer. In this case, mine was labeled F: 2. Right Click on the drive for the Card Reader (IMPORTANT) and choose FORMAT. 3. Format card with default settings. 4. Turn Camera on and go to MENU> FORMAT CARD 5. Before answering the next question, insert SD card into camera. You will hear it beep twice. 6. Choose FORMAT and the card should be formatted for use on the camera. Cheers!

SOURCE: No memory card will work in my Coolpix camera

Nikon has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 3200:

SD memory cards:
SanDisk 16/32/64/128/256MB
Panasonic 16/32/64/128/256/512
Toshiba 16/32/64/128/256MB

Other brands and capacities of cards may work, but Nikon cannot guarantee their operation. Check with the manufacturer of the third-party card for compatibility information. Nikon recommends keeping one of the approved cards available for troubleshooting.

Multi Media cards (MMC) are not recommended and should not be used.

I'm sorry but you can't use the camera as a webcam. Here is why. There is no function on the camera to stream video.
Also, the camera goes into standby mode after 30 seconds (by default). And 3 minutes after that, it shuts off completely. It does that to save batteries. Again. I'm sorry. Good webcams average between $20. to $50. usd and they are made to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

You can use a 4GB memory card in your camera, as long as it's an SD card.

If you get that message, it means you haven't formatted the card for use in that camera. You have to format the card in the camera before you use it.

Even though the solution was not what you prpbably wanted, don't let it stop you from rating it a fixya. I would appreciate it. Let me know if I can help you with anything else, and thanks for coming to FixYa.

If my Nikon Coolpix L110 does not accept the memory card, whilst the card works in the computer, what is the problem with the camera, and how do I fix it?

Your camera is SDHC compliant, so the card should work in your camera. There are two things you must do. Check if the Lock "switch" is NOT in the lock position and second before using the card in your camera, you should format it in the camera. Although FAT32 is supposed FAT32 for every device, camera's can be very "picky" when it comes to formatting and saving pictures. Even when a card is formatted in a Coolpix L110 from someone els, it could be your camera can't work with it.
I hope al the contacts in the camera are still clean and shining and not one os bent or has (even the smallest) dent. Check this with a stri=ong light and eventually with a magnifying glass.

Nikon Coolpix p100 will not accept card

When a camera formats a card it wants control of that card. It something else changes the card the first camera will think the card is corrupted and in a way it has. Cards are not that expensive. Please use one card in one camera and back up you files on a computer.. I have found NO problem with deleting folders on my cameras using the computer. You typically can REMOVE photos on a COMPUTER you should ONLY let the camera ADD photos. use one Card for one camera.

The play back button of my nikon coolpix s200 is not working. i don't know how to fix it. please help me... i cannot view my previous pictures..

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTER
If your photos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer. Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

I found one in my desk at work. It's missing a memory card thus no one is using it. What kind does it take? Can it be by any brand?

It can take a SD memory card or SDHC memory card, recommended brands: SanDisk, Toshiba and Panasonic from 128 MB to 4 GB capacities.

The manual and other information for the Coolpix L18 is available from Nikon: http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product-Archive/Digital-Camera/25596/COOLPIX-L18.html . The list of memory cards is on page 91.

I hope this helps.
