The S2IS cannot handle SDHC (SD High Capacity) cards, so you (like me) are limited to 2GB SD (normal) cards.

Some digital cameras can handle large memory cards as they are unable to format or manage that size of memory. Check your user manual which will tell you the maximun size allowed.

SOURCE: Canon PowerShot SD 630 Digital Elph "Memory Card Error"

Hi,
I'm sorry to tell that PowerShot SD 630 does not support SDHC cards over 2 gig.
If you want the camera to take a card over 2 gig then you are stuck standard SD cards.
The other camera does support the card because it's a higher model.


Regards.

SOURCE: When I inserted the new memory card (SanDisk Ultra

Some cameras cannot handle over 2GB memory cards. If it works fine with 2GB card - stick to that. If some other A620 you know operates with 4GB card, take yours to repairs.

Your camera can only use SD cards up to 2GB....not SDHC cards.

SD card format ng no card

  • 1 Insert your SanDisk 8GB memory card into a card reader connected to your computer.
  • 2 Double-click "Macintosh HD" on your desktop.
  • 3 Click on the "Applications" folder, then the "Utilities" folder.
    4 Double-click "Disk Utility". Look on the left side to locate the drive that says "SanDisk.
    5 Select the capacity of the drive on the left side of the window. The capacity will state "8GB" or "8,388,608 kilobytes." Click on the "Erase" tab to format the memory card. When you see "SanDisk" listed as the device's name, the capacity will be located above. You need to select the capacity and not the device.
    6 Select the appropriate "Volume Format." Under the "Volume Format" button, select the format you wish to use. Select "Mac OS Extended" if the SanDisk 8GB will only be used on Macs, or "MS-DOS (FAT)" if you will share the card between a Mac and PC. Select "Erase" to complete the format of your SanDisk 8GB memory card.

    Add SD memory

    You can add up to 8GB of SD memory. Your best approach is to add an 8GB SDHC Sandisk (always use Sandisk) Flash Memory card. You can find these cards with TOPO maps installed at the http://www.jungleghost.com website. You can also find the latest instruction manual that describes how to install the card.

    My scandisk memory card (8GB) has had problems with my blackberry torch. Its saying "media card storage can not be accessed due to fatal errors".

    try
    SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Memory Card with a card reader and check whether there is problems, and also try the card with other mobiles and find whether there are problems, if there is a problem we can understand that the card is destroyed , you can replace the card with other one now.
