My 1st DS will not operate past the " card not formatted" error message.
If you remove the card the camera focuses and shoots, the image apears on the review screen screen and then the message appears "card not formatted"
The formatting command in the menus on cam does not work, the messagesimply re-appears.
I cannot upgrade the firmware as kindly suggested by some folks. I have tried new and alternate cards that work on other cams and on the PC reader. They produce the same message.I have also tried formattting the card on the PC, and a sucessfuly formatted card on the PC produced the same result.
Anyone experience this before? Am I simply on my way to the $100.00 per/hr store??
PS : Is a USB firmware upgrade possible without using the card? ?
Any clues are welcome at this point!
Thanks
Mick
