Changing memory cards

You might have locked memory card. If not first try to connect memory card to PC with memory card reader and try to copy your stuff... then after you take all stuff try to format it.

The memory card you are trying to use in the camera is not supported. This camera is an older technology that can not recognize the large 8 GB memory capacity of the card. In fact, the largest approved card your camera will recognize is 1 GB.

The list of approved memory cards was obtained from the Nikon Site directly, and pasted below for your convenience.

Nikon has tested the following cards and approved their use in the Coolpix 5700:

CompactFlash memory cards:
SanDisk SDCFB series 16 MB, 32 MB, 48 MB, 64 MB, 96 MB, and 128 MB
Lexar Media 4× USB series 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 48 MB, 64 MB, and 80 MB
Lexar Media 8× USB series 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 48 MB, 64 MB, and 80 MB

Microtech International Digital Flash Film 1GB*

Memory cards are not made to hold pictures permanently. Like any stored data, they can be glitched and then you've lost the data. You should always copy them to the computer hard drive AND make a backup or 2. Even CDs can go bad. All my pictures are stored at least 2 but sometimes 3 places. Perhaps there is a way to retrieve the data, but I do not know how. Contact the manufacturer and see it they can help... but I'm afraid you've lost them.

i have the lexar 4 gb memory card with a ton of pictures which i never deleted. when i put it in a card reader it wont pop up on the screen. it wont work in my camera it will say once i turn it on (card can not be accessed reincirt/change card or format card shows up on my camera screen.) this worked a few days ago and just stopped working randomly. help me

Moultrie told me they could not fix the camera. I removed the Lexar 512 SD card and re-ran the test. The test passed and the camera worked. I replaced the Lexar SD card with a Cannon SD card and reran the test. The test passed and the camera works. I put the Lexar SD card and got a 00400 error message. Change SD cards. It fixed the problem for me.

Honestly, it is most likely a defective memory card or not compatible with your camera. Sorry.

i have the lexar 512 mb sd memory card and it works perfect for me

It sounds like your Dazzle is not compatible with the sandisk. Maybe the Sandisk CF UltraII card have a new update software in it.

Are you saying that it didn't do this before you started using the 4 Gb card?
If this is the case this card may not be well suited for the camera or be bad. I would certainly try a different card or take it back to the seller. Get a camera quality card with fast write speed. I might suggest several 2Gb cards rather than one big one. Lexar makes Pro cards as do most of the top name manufacturers.

Don't own the camera - but the figures indicate the 512 should hold a max of 250. Please have a look at the following: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/O33WR/33WRDATA.HTM
