Camera problem.

[Hyper_Kagome]

I can never seem to get away from problems now...

I turn on my Canon PowerShot A530 and I get the message:

MEMORY CARD ERROR.

I just took pictures with it last night and uploaded them this morning..

 

[adarsh]

reformat the card

 

[Hyper_Kagome]

So just plug the camera in via USB, rick click the camera and reformat?

Alrighty.
Sounds easy enough.

Too bad I don't have a Format option when I right click it. =[

 

[brian]

you have to put it in you computer and that. or turn on your comp and if you can hit menu and format card

 

[Hyper_Kagome]

Put the card... in the computer?

 

[adarsh]

is it a digital cam? well thr must be an option inside the cam itself to reformat the card

 

[brian]

do you have a cf card

you need a adapter. but can you do anything if the card is in. go to the menu?

 

[Hyper_Kagome]

Yeah I can go to the menu with the camera. I just looked and couldn't find anything to Format it.

 

[adarsh]

which type of card does it use? try using a card reader to reformat

 

[Hyper_Kagome]

Wonnnderful..
A card reader.

SD Impact 1 GB I do believe is the card.

Yeah. See... I'm only sooooo into this new technology stuff that I don't have a clue in hell what the card reader thing is.

uh k
hav fun

 

[brian]

ok. i got it. go to menue (the tools icon) and there will be a format there

 

[Hyper_Kagome]

Well, I found that after looking twice after you told me where to look. I hit format and it stops about half way or just over and says "Memory Card Error" all over again.

 

[brian]

o. seems like your memory card went bad

 

[Hyper_Kagome]

Wonderful, considering the camera is under a year old.

 

[brian]

oo. how big is the card

 

[brian]

also coould you try this. right before you hit the ok to format. right above it there is a low level format. can you change that and if so what is there
