Are you sure the SD card is working properly? Try using a card reader and format it on the PC.
Also, make sure the Lock switch is flipped to the "unlocked" state.

You can download a manual for almost any equipment by Googling the make and model followed by the word Manual, then follow the appropriate link(s). Fixya does not supply manuals.
format the sdhc chip on the cam first before u do anything else. don't put it in the pc nor laptop. and don't try to take pics with the new card.....FORMAT THE SDHC CHIP WITH IT IN THE CAM FIRST, TRUST ME I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW IM GOOD.
I have the simple manual that came with the camcorder.

SOLVED: To address the FORMAT ERROR, ensure you're using CLASS4 SDHC cards. Look for a (4) on the card. Ofter what you see is CLASS2, but most stores sell both.
Ok so I have the same problem I went out and purchased an SD card...but it doesnt work. So I called Polaroid and you need to purchase a CLASS 6 SD card of 2gb or more for it to work properly...figures it does not say that in the manual.
There are no 8GB SD cards. Cards this size are SDHC (High Capacity). SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but many cameras won't work with the SDHC cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.
No, it's a hardware issue. Your 8GB card is an SDHC card (the HC stands for High Capacity), but the card reader in your machine is clearly only compatible with the older type SD cards. SDHC devices will accept SD cards, but devices designed solely for SD cards cannot read or format SDHC cards.
There is no firmware update for this, your only fix is to buy an external reader compatible with SDHC cards for connection via a USB socket. Most new readers are fully SDHC compliant, but check the specs for shelling out your hard-earned...
