Card Error I have bought a 8 gig card and it reads card error and will not format. I formatted it in my pc and then put a photo on it to make sure that it worked . When I put it back into my camera it still read card error

Sometimes, "card error" simply means that you need to format the card in the camera. This will erase the card so download any pics from it first using a card reader if necessary.

The C743 is only good to 2 GB other models of Kodak can use the larger cards but not the c743

Format the camera and only go up to a 2gb card.

try to format them into your pc...maybe they are still raw and that why they do not work ...also ..read the manual and see what is the max value supported.. be sure they are formatted .in FAT ..system ..

you should download memory retriever it fixes your memory card and retrieves your data. i had the same memory card and i thought it was from the memory card acting up so i got a new one. but it was kind of from both the phone and memory card but i downloaded the program and = ] my new memory card wasn't formatted so now am all good! both of them working because my san disk memory card wasn't working and it deleted all my data. so now it retrieved and now is working! give it a try! and tell me what happens

Put the card back into the camera and off load/take off your pictures (Put them on the computer). Then, put the card back into the camera and go to your options menu. Find the format feature, and format the card. Take some new pictures and then try putting the card back into the picture frame. Does it work? If so, transfer the images from your computer back to the card. If it continues to work, then Great! If not, more than likely there is an improper or corrupt file among your photos.


Good Luck!

Did you just buy this card or have you had it working for a while and now this is happening?

From everything i have read about your camera, they won't take a 2 Gig card. A 1 GIG card is the biggest that is compatible with this camera. If the card is new i would take it back to the store and see if they will let you exchange it for a 1 GIG card.

If this just started happening after using it for a while -- it could be a problem with the card or the camera. Try putting in a different card and see if it will let you format that one. If it does you know for sure the problem is with the card. If you keep getting the same message no matter what card you use, i would phone Kodak. But, according to Kodaks own site, 1 GIG is the biggest card that is compatible. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Good Luck.

try going to wolf camera or ritz camera they have a 512 meg chip for about 8 bucks put it in your camera and see if you can format it and take pictures. I have seen in the past that the 2 gig chips are frauds they are smaller chips formatted to a 2 gig compositor. They have been going around quite abit. if that does not work then the camera has a defective sd port and should be able to be replaced from where you got it. if they will not repair it then call casio you can find their number at www.casio.com/us then under contact us. Casio should fix it if you bought it from a retail store send them your receipt. That what they ask for to see when the warranty started. Hope this helps.

format the card in the camera if you cant do it from a computer and make sure it has a name for the card in the format process. I just tried this on a card and it works great.

I believe any SD cards larger than 2Gb are technically SDHC cards, which are not compatible with all cameras. Kingston is a decent company so I'm guessing it's not because the card is a dud. If your camera doesn't advertise SDHC compatibility then I don't think you can get the card to work in it.
