Camera won't read SDHC card, says card error when trying to format

I have a Digimax L70 Digital Camera. I am wanting to use an 8GB SDHC card, I previously used a 1GM SDHC both Scandisk. I have formatted the card on a computer so I know there is nothing on it. When I insert this into the camera its gives me 'card error' message, then asked me to format. I chose YES, its starts to process then the camera just shuts down.

If you look at the spec, it will only take an SD card, not an SDHC card. SD cards max out at 2GB.

SOURCE: Format error

I don't believe the camera can handle a card of that size. I believe the camera only supports up to 512MB cards, anything above that is not guaranteed.

Sometimes this happens. Sometimes the speed rating on the memory card doesn't match your camera. Most people think all SD cards are the same. I assume you have the right card, but if you're unsure, then be sure to check to be sure. Another problem is that if someone tries to format the card in something other than your camera, it messes up the format on the card and it becomes incompatible with your camera. Sometimes you get a bad card that the retailer recycled because it was a return or maybe someone sold it to you on eBay. These problems happen. You will have to get a new card and make sure everything else it alright with your camera and card reader.

Testimonial: "Thanks, I didn't know that! Now I'm just annoyed at the store who sold me the 8GB memory card. Guess I'll have to save that one for later."

SOURCE: Samsung digimax L70, wont read any SD card, have

Is the card properly inserted, try to check recheck and double check. cameras some times, give the guidance as a computer. it might be the card you got is not original, or was a product of a fake company. By the way how is the forecus of the camera. If you install the card in a computer is there anything appearing, in most cases there are people who temper with the genuin labels and most systems nowadays they are computerised to differantiate between the original and the fake products.

I am getting memory card error with canon powershot a410

The A410 works with SD cards. Your 8GB card is an SDHC card and won't work in devices not designed to use them. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

Why won't my camera won't read the sd card I'm using?

8 gB is SDHC. Try less than 4 gB maybe even 256 mB to see if it will read those cards. But lately, all stores only sell HC cards. Try ebay, and they may charge an arm and a leg for old cards?

My Samsung Digimax A7 camera will not load memory cards. I insert a card and then turn on the device, which prompts a format for the card then I hit yes, the camera thinks for awhile then just turns off. ...

The Digimax A7 may not be compatible with "High Capacity" SD Cards (SDHC). If this is the case you will need to locate an SD card that is 2GB or less in size as anything larger than this is a high capacity card.

Bought a new sony sd/sdhc memory card 8gb and it will not format/load for my camera--what do I need to do?

The problem is that your camera is only compatible with SD cards, not SDHC cards. You bought a larger card for your older camera, not noticing that it was SDHC (or not knowing that it mattered). The new card doesn't work, not because it or the camera is broken, but because it's not compatible.

Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD.
Cards of 4Gb are generally SDHC.
Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC.

(There are exceptions. Sometimes, manufacturers make 4Gb SDHC cards but some have errors; they disable half of the chip and sell it as 2Gb, but it's still SDHC. 4Gb cards are almost always SDHC because they're cheaper, but 4Gb SD cards do exist. They are so rare that I've even seen a guru on this site claim they don't. I did own one once, but it was very expensive and turned out to be so unreliable that I had to return it. I don't recommend looking for one, because of the problems.)

Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it doesn't say "SDHC" on it.

I have purchased a 8gb memory card for my samsung digital camera but it is not working, it keeps saying card error. Any ideas?

if that happens try to reformat your sd card
all you need is a card reader and plug it in your pc find format and choose fat32*note only fat,fat16,fat32 format can be read by your camera so be careful when doing so.

Cannot format 8gb sdhc card. does this camera support this type of card?.

This camera supports SD or MMC memory cards only. All 4 GB and larger SD cards are actually SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards, and are not supported by your device. If you look closely at the card, you should find the SDHC mark on the label. Use only SD or MMC cards in this camera.

8GB SDHC Cards

Your camera will accept a maximum SD card capacity of 1GB. It simply isn't capable of handling anything of a larger capacity and in particular is incompatible with the more technically advanced SDHC cards.

Your fix is to either replace your camera with a later model or to stick to using SD cards with a maximum 1GB capacity.
