KodakEasyShareDX4530 states that new sd card is locked when it's not.Any help with this is appreciated.Camera won't format any of my cards. Need help

Take the card out and check if the lock switch is in the locked position. You need to move it to the unlocked position. That means moving the switch away from the SD card pins and towards the back of the card. If the lock is damaged or loose, you may need to replace the SD card. To see what the lock looks like, see https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1102/~/sd%2Fsdhc%2Fsdxc-memory-card-is-write-protected-or-locked .

Sometimes, you need to use a computer to format the SD card. This can happen when the card was initially formatted to be used with a different device. Then return the card to the camera when the camera is off. Follow the steps to select the Custom setting and format the card again in the trail camera. See page 20 of the manual, https://www.stealthcam.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/STC-G42NG-KPT.pdf . The last thing to try is a firmware update of the camera.

I hope this helps.

Your 4G card is probably an SDHC card which won't work in your camera. It only takes SD cards.

The DX7590 works with MMC and SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use cards 2GB and smaller.

this is what i did, and it worked perfectly. go out and get a sd card * any gig u want* as soon as u put the sd card into the camera, FORMAT IT!!!!. do that before u do anything else. don't format it on ur pc or laptop. format it on the camera. if u do that it will work perfectly. i don't know why it wasn't in the manual to format sd card first. but if u try to take pics first, that will mess up the entire system and u will be assed out a sd card. it took me 3 sd cards to figure this out. the cards worked fine but not in the camera. then i formatted it on the camera first and it works fine. the other sd cards i use for other things, i won't discard them but they won't work in the cam. but remember again GET NEW SD CARD AND FORMAT THE CARD IN THE CAMERA FIRST.

Usually the first thing you need to do with any SD card and Camera is to go into the settings of the your camera and Format the SD card. This has to be done for each memory card you use with that camera. i.e. a SD card formatted on a Panasonic HD camcorder won't work in your Jazz Camcorder. The formatting is different between the two camcorders. New SD cards don't come formatted.
SO try inserting the SD card into your Jazz Cam and rummage through the setting until you find your memory settings. From there find the Format Memory Card function, format the SD Card and you should be good to go.

On the side of the SD card there is a little switch for locking the memory card to prevent erasure or writing. Make sure it is not locked. After that try a smaller size card. After that junk it.

Buy a 1GB card (or 2). The spec for the SD card format is going to 2GB but the Kodak C330 not compatible with 2 GB SD memory cards.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

The camera has a limit of a 2 GB card , its built into the camera hardware.
