Re: When I add a sandisk 4gb card to the camera it says...
A 4Gb card will be an SDHC card. SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but many cameras won't work with the SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.

I suspect 2GB is the maximum the camera will take. A 2GB Sandisk card works in my 7i. When the DiMAGE 7i was launched, 256mB was about as big as CF cards got!
Your camera menu should have an option to FORMAT the card. This will need to be done. If you deleted all files on the card by using a computer, the files may not be completely gone without having the camera reformat the card. It is always most efficient and safer to have the camera do the deleting rather than a computer.
If you've tried the usual fixes like reformatting the card and trying it out in other cameras, then there is nothing more you can do to fix this.
Fortunately, Sandisk are very good at replacing faulty memory cards provided they've not suffered physical damage. Just contact the company to find out how to exchange your CF card.
Make sure your camera is compatible with a 4GB flash card. Some only take 1 or 2 GB cards. If that isn't the issue, format your card inside the camera with the camera's format utility.
Although my SanDisk compactFlash cards 128 MB 256MB 4GB and 8GB cards are far from being full, when I open up my Canon Powershot A40, the follwing msg appears: CF card full. However, the original Canon Compactflash card FC 8M provided with my camera will still accept new photos. The problem is recent. Can someone help me.
That depends on the camera. If the camera supports Sandisk Micro, then the SD card will fit into a slot. The slot is often located near to the battery.
You will just have to push card in and camera will automatically read card.
If camera does not read the card, ensure that the camera model can support SanDisk Micro, and that it will also support card size. Older cameras do not support big memory card (eg.4Gb)
I would suggest reformatting your disk to your camera. We have had those issues and it has cleared it up. Be sure any pics on your camera have been backed-up as you will loose all pics while reformatting. The key is to reformat your disk to your camera (use the camera's menu to located the reformat disk section)...do not use the computer. Hope it works!
That all depends on whether or not the camera slot is big enough. It also depends if the card is the correct size. The card should work if it fits inside the camera.
