Memory card error

Muhammad Cheema · 04-21-2020, 08:28 PM

Hello, My camera is showing memory card error, I have fully charged batteries, installed latest firmware, and read many articles, but my camera is still not working. I have inserted in my computer just to make sure that the memory card works. Please help me and reply ASAP.

Thank You !

What card and what camera?

Have you tried formatting the card in the camera?

Any time I've had that problem, I've had to do a deep format (as opposed to the quick format) on the computer and then format it again in camera. Note that if you don't format in camera the card will likely give errors. For some reason, cameras like to format their own cards.

Is the camera compatible with the card capacity ?

Good question. Given the lack of information the OP has given, it's entirely possible that he doesn't have a compatible card. For someone who want's help ASAP, the OP is starting to look like a drive by.
