My camera doesn't work with certain memory card,,,WHY?

Try removing then reinserting the memory card. If that doesn't work, try using a different memory card.

Make sure your camera is compatible with card. Some cameras
will only work on certain gbts.

Seems that W7 is not supported: try to install the provided sowtware and run the Windows Vista drivers (check the manual), if it doesn't work you have to use a memorycard reader to read the memory card, then you can use your video and images certainly.

Try formatting the memory card. If that doesn't work, try a different memory card. If that doesn't help, sadly, it's probably time to return the camera if it's still under warranty.

Good luck!

you'll make sure that you camera is not the problem is when you insert other memory card that is working on other cameras. if that doesn't work at all try to look for any foreign object that block memory card insertion contacts or you can buy a contact cleaner spray for electronic parts and spray it on the memory card holder part of the camera.

First check with another Memory card. If you have the same problem with another one, remove the card, then check the card contacts inside the camera. They might not conduct properly, if you don't see anytihg out of the ordinary here, then I recomend you contact Fujifilm directly.

If the problem is on one card only, try to format it while inside the camera, then if It doesn't work try to format it on a computer.
If by doing this the card is still not working, it is certainly dead.

Hope this helps.

Hi there!
Since this is a new memory card, the first thing that you can do is to format the memory card through the camera menu.
If that doesn't work, try another memory card. If that card doesn't show the error then your new memory card is the problem.
Hope this helps.

On most cameras, once you start to use the internal memory, the camera doesn't want to read a memory card. You need to go into the menu and "reset" the camera. Then, with no card in the camera, go into the menu and "format" the internal memory. Then, insert the card and "format" it. This will erase it so download any pics first.

Have you tried another brand of memory card ?
Try a memory card from a friend that has been used for a while. If it locks up with other cards then you have problem with camera. Check if needs to be set to read from memory cards above certain sizes ?

The S5z is limited to SD cards, 2GB and smaller. The speed doesn't matter, but larger cards will not work in this camera.
