Lumix DMC-LC33 shows memory card error -format this card? Yes or NO..no matter the Sd card , if select yes- no results, if select no - no results.

I have got a Panasonic DMC TZ70 I could not find out using the manual how to format the memory card. I discovered how .. set the mode dial at the top of the camera to MANUAL, then select menu then you can keep arrowing down until you find FORMAT, click yes and it's done.

We may be able to recover the data for you. If it is a logical recovery, we can do it for as little as $59.95! We only charge if we are successful. If we cannot recover the data, we only charge you for return shipping.

Yes format the memory card. Go into the camera's Menu and select Foemat memory card.

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.

The DMC-LC33 is designed to work with SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. While it fits into the slot it will not work. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

Press menu/set...playback menu....select "copy" Make the choice to copy the internal memory to the card and select "yes".

Make sure the cards are 2GB or less, 2GB is the largest the camera can support. If they are, you may need to format the cards to use with the camera. Press Menu/Set to display the PLAY mode menu and select the item to set. Select Format and confirm by select Yes. The owner's manual says to perform this procedure when you get MEMORY CARD ERROR.

Has the memory card ever worked in this camera? If yes, try downloading all the pictures to your computer then format the memory card using the camera setip menu. If this is a new camera, Make sure the camera can use the SD HC type memory cards. Some older cameras cannot read the SDHC but are fine with the SD cards.

Guys you have to have the camera format the SD card itself for best results and compatibility.

Had to take my SD card in for a system recovery.
Thanks
