I can't get rid of Error message on my Konica Minolta Z5 : SD card seems blocked, even after reformatting, because some pix may have been rotated 90 degrees ???
2Gb SD cards are mawimum size to handle !
It seems that Z5 is too slow to save a picture that has been shoot : it needs some hundreds of a seconds probably, which is NOT instantaneous !
If you shoot photos too fast, then you block your system !
You'll have to upload all photos to your computer, then format your SD card with your Z5 camera (if not do it by clicking right on the letter representing the SD 'hard disk' on the computer, choosing Format, FAT (16), 32bits chunks, Fast Format, and then it will be recognized by Z5). Then you can possible reformat it again using the Z5, if needed.
SD card then is new to work.
BUT !!! if you want to get back your old photos, then copy those previously saved on your computer back onto your SD card, and this sould work !
The big PROBLEM arises when you saved them on your computer, played with the photos by changing names, renaming, denaming back, turning them 90 degrees, re-turning them back etc... I CAN NOT put them back on the SD card without getting an ERROR MESSAGE from my Z5 !!!
How the hell this bloody Z5 can not recongnize a photo taken by him, even if it has been renamed or turned 90°, and re-rename-back to previous original name and re-returned back to original place (maybe this is were I did a mistake, 'cause I dunno if I turned it +90° or -90°...)...
Anybody knows ????
Re: I can't get rid of Error message on my Konica...
The Z5 can display photos that it took. However, it cannot display edited photos. Due to the way the JPEG standard is defined, a rotation of the picture constitutes editing. If you rotate it four times, or once and then undo, it still constitutes editing. If you open a picture and then save it without doing anything else, it still counts as editing. Thus, if you want to put pictures back onto the card, you'll have to use the original pictures. The proper workflow is to download the pictures to your computer. Then, if you're going to do any work on any of these pictures, do it on copies. This way, if you totally mess up an edit, you'll still have the original.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).
I don't have any first-hand information, but you'll probably be ok as long as you stay under capacities of 2GB. The original SD specification only allowed cards up to 2GB to be compliant with the standard, so I think that pretty much every camera that has an SD slot can handle 2GB capacities.
What size memory card are you using? I have had this problem trying to use a a 4gb card, which apparently is not compatible with the Z5. Using a 2gb card seems to alleviate the problem.
Your Card may need to be formatted. to fix this problem: [note- before you start, make sure that your SD Card is blank, or that the information is unimportant, because formatting your card will erase all of the information.]
1) Plug the card into your computer, if you can, in the SD slot, or use a USB - SD transformer to plug your card into a USB port.
2) After its plugged in, go to 'My Computer'.
3) Right Click on the drive its plugged it into
4) press format
5) Make sure all of the correct settings are on and start the format.
now your SD card is formatted and should work in your camera and you can continue taking pictures. YEA :^)
My experience in this issue is that you should never put too much trust in an SD card :-/ It seems to me that all cards are prone to fail once in a while, and my best advice is to keep spare ones handy. A dedicated SD card reader is a good thing, too...
