Bought new card.
when inserted in camera states
card not initialized
Inserted the FujiFilm XD Picture Card M 1GB and the camera says card not inititialized. Have not found how to make it work, tried every setting and even reformated the camera. Tks for hep
A common fix for this issue is to use an external card reader, and reformat your card using your computer. Make sure you chose FAT format instead of FAT32 or NTFS.

XD cards are now obsolete memory cards. The cards were developed by Olympus and Fujifilm and released during the summer of 2002. There is now an adapter that allows an SD card to be used in place of the XD card You need to remember that the capacity should not exceed 2 GB or the camera will not be able to accept it. As far as I know cameras accepting XD cards were last produced in 2007, I don't know what specific models however the camera specifications would show what type card it uses.
the camera cannot use XD picture card and multimedia card (MMC). SD and SDHC can be used. for compatibility check this http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/accessories/card/a/
you might need to update your product depending on your serial no.
to format the card, press menu to display menu setup, press right to move to setup 2 (3rd tab) you will see Format. click Format to format the memory ("SD" is displayed if memory card is inserted and "IN" (internal memory) if no memory card. hope this helps
To initialize the new XD card, you go into the camera's setup menu and navigate to the format function. Format the card and you might be ready to go. If your new card has an "M" or an "H" preceeding the XD, your camera will need a firmware upgrade before it will recognize the card. Here's a link to the firmware upgrade procedure. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital/download/a340/fupd.html
You will need to do a firmware update to be able to use your new 'M' XD card. Also you will need a AC adapter to be able to use the update for your camera.
It is a Fuji site and it works.
Good luck. http://www.fujifilm.ca/x3719.xml

If your new xD card is an "H" or "M" type card, it is only compatable with the A340 following a firmware upgrade to the camera. http://www.fujifilm.ca/x3721.xml is a link to the software and steps you can take to perform the upgrade.
Hi,
You have to go to the menu/setup function. Check the different settings. One of them would lead you to the memory card settings, from there you should be able to format the new card.
Good luck and kind regards.
