There is a limitation with this camera and the size of memory cards it can handle. Larger cards than 1GB, are not recognized properly. You can however use larger cards if you format the card in the camera using the USB cable connected to your PC. Just connect the camera to your PC. In windows explorer select the camera drive, right-click and select "format". I have used this to get a 2GB card working with my 603. Beware that files larger than 1GB can not be stored on the card. I once had been recording a video at concert for about 30 minutes with the 2GB card installed (the camera got really hot during this shooting!). When hitting the record button again to save this giant clip, I got an error message "write error" I was a sad puppy that night.

Will an8gb compact flash card work in my finepix m603 camera

Your camera can't Please don't try to put any SD card in your camera. It will destroy the camera. You camera only accepts xD cards. It is a complete different card size and works different.
There are xD micro drives, but I would not buy them. it is a very small HD and are not made for years. So if you find one, it is likely it is defect.
But if you can find a 1 Gb xD card, you can put lots and lots of pictures on it.


The manual is still online

Hello, my fuji film fine pix 51000 says that the memory card is protected and won't let me take pictures i just bought the card about 15 minutes ago! help

If it has a slide switch on the side of the card, be sure it's "unlocked". You may also need to format the card in the camera to get it to work properly.

Card error with compatible memory card (Z30fd - Fujifilm)

Try doing a "format" of the card through the set-up menu.
