Can a 4GB memory card be used on a DiMage z6? Unable to use card appearing on screen. Memory card us new.

Consider NOT connecting the camera to the computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive.

Download any pics from the card using a card reader if necessary. Then, format the card in the camera.

Some brands cannot be used by some cameras. You should stick with the big brand names like Sandisk.

Firstly, what size memory hard do you have? Is it an SDHC? Secondly, have you checked that the memory card isn't locked (there is a switch on the side of it). Has it worked with other memory cards?

Make sure your camera is off.....Open flap to memory card.....On the side of your card you will see a little TAB that you can slide up and down....Your card is in the LOCKED POSITION which means you can't accidentally erase pictures stored on the card.....Simply slde the tab to the opposite position where it is now and you will have an unlocked card.....

Make sure your Daughters Camera is turned off....Open Memory Card door press in on card to release and remove it from the camera.....On the side of the card you will see a little tab that is knurled and slides up & down.....Simply slide this tab to the opposite position it is in now and reinsert into your camera , power up and you should now have an unlocked card.....This function is used if you fill up a card with photos and don't want to accidentally erase any of your pictures before you store on your PC or burn to a cd or dvd so that you don't lose your pictures.....

Up to 1GB memory card works in these cameras. Please use maximum 1GB memory card.

I was told last year when I researched it from the website, only a 2 GB card could be used.

I posted this on another section:

My Z6 worked flawlessly for over a year, then suddenly started shutting off for no reason. Tried new batteries, etc. The problem turned out to be the memory card. My advice, buy a GOOD card instead of a new camera! Keep in mind, flash cards DO have a "life" to them - meaning they can only be used / erased so many times before they will cause errors (so don't buy a used card off of ebay - no matter HOW good the deal seems). If your shutdown problem started with a "unable to read card" warning, then its the card. The camera is actually "protecting" itself by shutting down. Good luck!

HI, Try Replacing Battery . I hope It will Solve the problem. All teh Best Sangita
