LCD screen not working, how do I format SD cards or access other menu items?

Some cameras cannot take certain types of SD cards. They could be too new for the camera or have a higher storage capacity than the camera can recognize. Sometimes you can update camera firmware to accept these cards, but often you are limited to what the camera can accept.

try an sd card from another source. the format function of the camera should be used to prepare the sd card for the camera before you take pics with it. this may be a format issue with nintendo. format will erase all images on card, so save them first somewhere else.

Hello bro..
Do you check your SD card? It is work ?
My solution:
1. Off Lumix camera.Until LCD was off. Press center of card to remove it.
2. Use card reader to connect your SD card to pc/netbook/laptop..
3. Check full capacity for SD card, it is empty(zero) or have it their mount.
4. If empty (full,used,free is zero) ,try reinsert card again and don' t touch the terminal.
5. If still empty, that mean, your SD card was corrupted.
6. If not empty, backup all data in SD card.
7. Format the SD card using FAT32.
8. Checking Disk.
9.Insert back to camera, and format SD card using camera menu.
10. Take picture. and see if save on SD card or not. comment back here. if succes or not.
11. Don't use any battery except original from panasonic. It will affected to product.
12. Don't remove battery or card before lcd was off light.

With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, your card should work properly.

I think you have a HC card, Any SD memory card about 2GB runs at a different compression rate to the 'normal' SD cards. ie High Compression. If you do have a larger card in an older camera it will not read, The camera cannot access the information, and it will not work. If it's a 2GB or smaller, try formatting the card - Go to your review menu, press setup and chose format from the list. This should sort it out.

Hi,

If you inserted your sd card corectly, you should be able to save items to it as long as it is not a defective unit. Do the following:

1) From the Home Screen Menu, go to Settings, then Options, and scroll down to Media Card and choose it with the trackball.

2) From there you will see the Media Card configuration options which allow you to set the Media Card Support, as well as the Mass Storage Support option. Also, you will be able to confirm from this screen if the phone is recognizing the presence of your sd card. Hope this helps.

hi it sounds like a software problem. follow the following instructions. Please can you try and reformat the 2gb micro sd card in your pc and copy firmware from the CD back onto the 2gb micro sd card following the instructions below. be warned that formating will remove even the games from the card so make sure you have a backup of the games saved to your computer. any saved games will also be erased.

To format the 2gb micro sd card
1. Insert sd card into usb stick and into usb port.
2. Close autoplay screen if it appears.
3. Right click on removeable drive. (Eg D, E, F or J etc) that appeared on screen in computer window.
4. Left click on format in menu and when format window appears, tick quick format box and select ok. This will erase all content on the sd card and remove any corrupt firmware.

To reload firmware
1. Insert cd into pc cd/dvd drive.
2. Open cd drive on screen and copy and paste the files and folders from the system/english 1.18 folder on the cd to the removeable drive that the usb and micro sd card are in. The folders that you will copy are "_system_" and "moonshl" and the files will be "menu.dat" and "mshl.nds".
3. Once copied, check removeable drive to ensure files and folders have copied over.
4. Remove usb stick from pc and insert sd card back into R4. R4 menu should appear on DS screen. this normaly sorts this out. paul

You only need to use one, if you are using both at the same time that is why. I recommend you format your sd card.
1. Plug SD Reader Into Your PC
2. Go To My Computer
3. Right Click Your SD Card (Usualy F:)
4. Click Format
5. Use the drop down menu to change file system to 'FAT (default)'
6. Uncheck Quick Format If It Is Checked
7. Last Click Format

After that is complete just reload 1.18 kernal onto your r4.

If It Works Then You Can Add More Items To Your SD Card
