When putting the memory card into the hp 1350 to download we received a memory card error, we then put the card back into the camera and the camera asked FORMAT ? and my husband formated the memory card. Are we unable to retrieve these pictures. Are these pictures lost ? can we recover them ?
Once the memory card is formatted, the files saved or pictures will be deleted and there is no way to retrieve the images.
I would advise that you transfer the pictures first to your PC before formatting the memory card.

When you have formatted a memory card in error the pictures can be retrieved again. using and your pc. You can download and application online to do this. Just do not take any pictures with the memory stick as you will over write the lost pictures. I am using card recovery to find my lost pictures.
Download a copy of CardRecovery (@ www.cardrecovery.com). The free trial will allow you to determine if any of the photos are retrievable. If they are, buy the software. The software can do exactly what it says it can do: "It can effectively recover lost, deleted, corrupted or formatted photos and video files from various memory cards."
Maybe. I answered an earlier post suggesting a free program Zero Assumption Recovery. It worked brilliantly for me. Formatting the card could cause problems, but it will be worth trying. BTW, don't take any new pictures until you have attempted the recovery or you will certainly have lost your pictures.
Good luck

I had this problem too. I ended up using a refrigerator magnet, strongest one I had on hand, to scramble the card. The camera then recognized the card as a brand new unformatted card and formatted it as usual.

when i put in any of my memory cards it says card has wrong format press ok to format after you press ok it says unable to format. I put my memory cards in my other camera to check if it was the memory cards and it worked fine in my other camera
Mine is having the same problem. I've bought 2 different memory cards. Camera keeps saying unable to format. I've tried to go through steps given to format camera, ect. no luck. Verrry frustrating! Any suggestions??
we also encountered the same format error when we inserted two brand new olympus memory cards. our camera store was quick to tell us that Olympus no longer makes memory cards that are compatible with the c-740 (don't know if this is true), but it certainly makes sense. Our old card, which stores 20 pictures works great. Our solution, was to purchase a new Sony camera and moan about the money we spent on the olympus.
Thanks eillyn79! Where can we find the program/application to download the pics? Any help or direction would be greatful! Thanks again!
On my digimax v500 "It says to press OK to format the card - when that is done then in the window it says "CHECK SD CARD" Well, it's the same card I used before after I downloaded the pictures but now the card isn't being accepted.
