What SD Memory Cards or Multimedia Cards are compatible with DiMAGE Z3?

SD cards top out at 2GB, and any of them should work fine. Larger cards are SDHC cards and will not work with this camera.

some cameras will not work with the new HD SD Cards...check to see if that is your problem.

Hi,
Some cameras can not handle 2 GB and larger memory cards..I believe this could be the case for you..I am afraid if it does not FORMAT it ,you can not use it to take a picture either..
Just for testing purposes,if you cant FORMAT in the camera, take the card out and try to format it on your computer (you may need Memory Card Reader " THAT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR MEMORY CARD.THIS ..As an example of this unit pls visit the URL below....you can buy it any electronic Market too...

Hope this helps! Take care and please Remember to rate/vote and give me

1st you need to update the firmware to 1.3u
download firmware here
http://ca.konicaminolta.com/support/americas/digital_cameras/dimage-z/dimage-z3/software_drivers/index.html (this allows 2GB cards)
instructions are here

(instructions are a little vague on where macro mode button *flower button* is)
Also, you might have a bad SD memory card. format the card (erasing all data/pics on card)
and take some picks and try again.. if you can
If still a system error try a different SD card to get past error then update firmware with THAT SD card.
IF that don't work.... your hosed... ;(

Did you delete them on the computer or the camera? If they are safely on your computer, you can erase and optimize the card for the camera by going into the menu and finding "format"...follow the on-screen instructions.

This camera has been discontinued, and is no longer sold as new. There are still vendors that sell accessories for this camera including batteries and SD memory cards. A google search of "dimage g400 memory" reveals a number of retailers that sell SD cards of varying sizes up to 2 GB specifically for this camera.

Going beyond 2 GB however, will probably give mixed results, as most cards 4 GB (the next size up from 2 GB) are SDHC type cards. An SDHC card looks identical to the SD counterpart, but is manufactured to a different specification. The SDHC specification was developed after you camera was made, so use of cards bearing the SDHC mark is not supported.

I hope this helps!

The Dimage Z3 accept SD cards up to 1GB (Minolta says 512 Mb, and sold it with 16Mb). This camera is 4MP , and uses less memory on card, therefore a 512MB card will be enough for it.

Your camera will accept a maximum SD card capacity of 2GB. It simply isn't capable of handling anything of a larger capacity and in particular is incompatible with the more technically advanced SDHC cards.

Your fix is to either replace your camera with a later model or to stick to using SD cards with a maximum 2GB capacity.

this camera with firmware below 1.03 has a problem with 2gb cards , i recommend 1 gb cards ( i have tried many until now it never stopt working ..so yes go back to where you bought the card (not accidentaly switched the white write protect switch ?? )
