I just purchased a brand new Lexar professional 64gb,800x card. When I inserted it into my Nikon D700, it immediately flashed "full" in the readout window. I tried to format it at least a dozen times; it seems like it is working but then about a second or two later the readout reverts to "full" again. The card seems to be unusable. Is it just a defective card or is there a known compatibility issue with the Nikon D700?

Use the camera to format the SD card not your computer. There should be a menu option to format it.

A flash card wears out every single time you use it. Yours has just reached its end of life - it's dead. Replace it.

SOURCE: lost all memory on a 64gb sd micro card after formatting

No, you didn't loose memory. You just have to reformat it. When you do, check if you can change the total capacity with drop down menu, also try settings it to FAT32.

If not, you could use another computer or even a portable device like cellphone or camera to try and format it.

Don't worry, you cannot 'loose' the 64gb.

Testimonial: "when I inserted the card into my Galaxy 3 phone it was possible to format it back to its 64gb volume. I believe my problem with the PC Windows 7 had to do with using a card reader that does not work with SDXC cards. I will shop for a better reader and recheck after that. thank you"

CONSTANT FLASHING CF LAMP NIKON D300

Hi,

Am afraid that it is an internal hardware problem. Chances are that the electronic trigger that fires the flash has shorted out and is therefore making the flash work even with the camera off. Since this would involve electronic circuitry and components, use of a DVM and a low wattage soldering iron or even a hot air blower, perhaps your best bet would be to seek the services of a qualified professional. Often even if you can actually open the unit for a look and see of the trigger/flash module, replacement part availability would be a major concern.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

How to Format a Memory Card with a Nikon D700

1) Insert the memory card you wish to format into the Nikon D700's body using the memory card slot on its' right side. Make sure the power is off before you insert the card and that you place the card in correctly. The D700 will only accept CF cards, so make sure you have this type available.
2) Turn the camera on with the power switch. Only do this after you have inserted the memory card and closed the memory card slot.
3) Press and hold both the Trash and MODE buttons down for about 2 seconds. Together, these are known as the 'Format' button. The Trash button is located on the back face of the D700 body next to the Preview button, and the MODE button is located on the top of the D700 body next to the shutter button and power switch. If done correctly, the letters 'For' should appear blinking in the shutter-speed sections of both the view finder and control panel.
4) Press and hold both the Trash and MODE buttons again to format the memory card. This will delete all photographs on your memory card and format it. Do not turn off the camera or remove the memory card while the card is being formatted. If you do not want to format the memory card, simply do not press the Trash and MODE buttons the second time and wait for the blinking 'For' to disappear, which it will do after about 6 seconds.
5) Wait until the blinking 'For' disappears. The display will now show the full amount of photographs that can now be taken on the formatted card.
6) Alternatively, you can also format your memory card from the Setup Menu in the D700 LCD menus. You can access this by pressing the MENU button on the back of the D700 body, selecting the Setup Menu and pressing Format Memory Card, OK. This will format your memory card immediately.

Brand new SD card - says card is full? Nikon D40

I ran into this exact issue (64GB Sandisk SD not working with an old Nikon D40). The problem is that the camera requires FAT32 formatting, which is not supported on partitions greater than 32GB (i.e the 64GB stick). A format from the camera attempts to repartition all device space (64GB) which is incompatible.

I solved this by connecting the SD to my laptop, opening the windows disk management utility (diskmgmt.MSC), deleting all partitions on the SD (right-click, delete partition on all allocated space), the right clicking the unallocated space, add simple partition, then allocating only 32GB and using FAT32 as the format (any more and windows will only provide exFAT as an option, also not compatible with Nikon D40). Plugging that into the camera and NOT reformatting from there worked.

You most likely will need a different card to be compatible with your MacBook pro. Apple website should be helpful.

You can try using a file recovery software like Bad Copy Pro 4.10.125. It works well for me.

Lexar 8GB wont work. when i insert it, it shows up on my computer as connected but then when i click on the lexar icon to view my files on it, it doesn't open, the message: 'please insert disk into drive...

Some computers will not support a large 8GB stick. The best some will do is 2GB, If you are running a computer pre-2001, you may not be able to use the 8GB stick (I have the same problem with my desktop PC). It just is not supported!
