I am getting an message that reads card no initialized. It is a new card. How do I initialize the card?

"card not initialized" means you need to format the card in the camera before it will work.

This totally sucks. I have a similar issue with my Canon Vixia HF R20 and I'm using a Lexar Pro 64Gb 133x SDXC card. When trying to initialize the card, its fails and says "Process terminated with error." It also says "check the memory card" when I first put it in. Write-protect is off. My other SanDisk class 4 SDHC card seems to work ok.
I could have sworn it worked before and I was able to transfer videos to my Mac on 10.6, but I can't remember for sure if I was using the SDXC card or just the built-in memory. Very frustrating.

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

Card not Initialized

check your card on some card reader whether its reading well or not, if not its the problem of card

If you have version 1.00, then you will need to upgrade to 1.22 in order for this camera to read an xd type M or H picture card. I believe this is your problem. Go to this link on Fujifilms site for specific info: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital/download/a340/fupd.html

Hope this helps!

I had the same problem and downloaded a firmware upgrade from the Fuji web site and it now works in the camera.

Get the photos you want to keep off the card, and reformat it in the camera. Just deleting pics won't help. More than likely corrupted memory, and needs reformatting, Has worked for me several times.

go into the settings on your camera, then format your card ive had sane problem i was told this by fuji
