Gx 1s memory card not formatted

I took the photos off my son's memory card for him and then gave him the memory card back. It now says card not formatted when he puts it in the camera. Tried to use the Format menu to format the card but it doesn't let me - just says 'card not formatted'. Any ideas please?

    Most likely the card gone bad. Get a card USB reader and see if you can recover pictures via PC/Laptop. Use any Memory Card recovery software like Requva or other.

SOURCE: Samsung S630 Digital Camera, Card Error and Format Error

you have several options:

1. see in the specification details of your camera what memory card is compatible for camera. for S630 it is SDHC/MMC/SD card (Up to 4GB Guaranteed). see if you're using memory card within this capacity and type. If you're using a different memory card type and capacity, try to use memorycard that is compatible with your camera.

2. try to use memory card to other devcie like cameras, cellphones and other devices and if it still has error problem, your card may be the one defective. use other cards.

3. try to take pictures without using memory card. use only the internal memory of camera. if camera still display this error meassage, camera needs service.

hope these options solve one of your problems. c",)

SOURCE: SD memory card will not format in a Samsung Digimax 301.

I own a samsungDigimax 301, 3.2 mpi camera. When I inserted an SD card in the slot, the screen read " card error". Could you guide me as to dealing with this problem so that I may use the camera to take pictures this weekend? Thanks. Mathew.

SOURCE: I bought a 4GB Memory Card for my Samsung Digimax

Your problem is that your camera only takes standard SD cards up to a maximum of 2GB. The card you have bought is likely to be a 4GB SDHC model. SDHC is a later development of SD; SDHC compliant devices can still use older SD cards, but SD-only devices cannot use SDHC. This is a hardware limitation so there is no way at all to use an SDHC card in your camera.

Note that if your 4GB card is definitely an SD and not an SDHC then it's still incompatible with your camera: very few standard SD devices were ever made with the firmware and hardware to handle the different memory addressing architecture used by the larger capacity card. Some cameras did have firmware updates to allow the larger SD card to be used, but yours is not one of them.

Your only fix is to sell your card (or keep it for another device) and to buy a regular SD card no larger than 2GB maximum capacity.

I trust that my reply has answered your question fully, please take a moment to rate my answer.

SOURCE: I just bought a new

The largest SD card you can use in your Samsung NV10 is 2GB. thats why once you insert the 8GB sd card its shows card error or need to fromat.

FYI. for every digital camera there's a compatible memory card and you can see from the box or manual and Its writen SD or SDHC.

goodlukc and thank you

Testimonial: "Thanks, I didn't know that! Now I'm just annoyed at the store who sold me the 8GB memory card. Guess I'll have to save that one for later."

VL-Z3 will not record video

Having the same problem. I got this from a friend who also gave me a blank cassette. I could record on the cassette without any problems, but when it comes to using a memory card, it said the same thing. First it said Format Memory Disk, which I already did. Then when I tried to record, it says Please Use Photo Button. My son's graduation is coming up in 12 hours and I still haven't found a solution!! If someone could enlighten us on how to fix this, it will be greatly appreciated.

Take no more pics until you've recovered your photos, take the card out of the camera. This is to reduce the chance of you overwriting some of your "lost" photos. There are many good freeware photo recovery software options that may help you recover your photos. This article reviews and outlines several of the better ones. Now after you've recovered your photos, consider formatting the card in the camera to prevent this from happening again.

Can photos be retrieved once the SD card has been formatted? i had selected the "protect option" & those photos still were deleted.

I had success with this
1. Do not save any new file to memory card.
2. Connect your card to computer. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in My Computer.
3. Download photo recovery software, recommended one is 001 picture recovery (simply because i was using it and it worked)
http://www.001-software.com/picture-recovery/
4. Install and open the photo recovery program, select your memory drive, and click 'Start' button to start scanning process which will find your deleted photos.

The card you bought for the camera is not compatible with your camera! (just because it fits and looks the same does not make it a match!) try useing a regular sb card and return the high proformance card!
