Just purchased new Toshiba SDHC 8 GB memory card to use in Kodak Easy Share C743 digital camera. Put disk in camera prompt says "Memory Card requires formatting"...press continue, and go to formatting and then get prompt again that disk needs to be formatted. Apparently formatting is not working in camera???...can I do it in computer to work in camera?

Try to format your memory card

The C743 works with MMC and SD cards, not with SDHC cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible. You need to go with cards 2GB and smaller.

No. You cannot use a 8GB SDHC card in the C360. The C360 supports MMC and SD cards up to 2GB in size.

With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. After that, your card should work properly.

The following information lists the type and maximum storage capacity of the memory card that each type of camera accepts.

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

You can use SD cards up to 2GB in size. You cannot use SDHC cards bigger than 2GB. You should be able to get SD cards at any office supply or electronics store. You could probably even find them in most supermarkets and drug stores, though they might cost a little more.

Never, never, never format a camera card in the computer if you are planning to use it in a camera.

Honestly, it is most likely a defective memory card or not compatible with your camera. Sorry.

Your camera is not SDHC compatible. It will only support standard SD cards. Sorry.

I hope this helps.
