Hello everybody, I am an OAP and use a PENTAX Optio 6 Megapixels. It is what I used for taking underwater pictures when we use to hol;iday in the Maldives. We don't go anymore because the insurance was too expensive , but the good thing is we went to Kuredu 4 times and to 7 other islands so you can see why I bought this camera new for £300.00 .

I didn't finish writing the rest of the question before my computer just locked up on me.
So the rest of the query is I bought some SD cards ,3 x 2gb , 1 x 4gb and 1 x 8gb. and when I put the 3 x 2gb they worked alright . When I tried the 4gb & 8gb cards the camera came up with an answer "MEMORY CARD ERROR ", and when I read some of the answers some say " FORMAT THE CARD " plus there was a "Yellow picture of what looked like a locked padlock any idea folks . When I bought the camera about 10 years ago there was a CD that gave you "Fault and Repairs " but over the years I have either misplaced or lost it. Can anybody help . Thanks in advance people. Dave.

Welcome, must try that when the next a purchase looms... "it's with the saved insurance money".
