Please explain how to 'format' memory card in camera? Thought a memory card was just inserted in camera &amp; it was ready to point &amp; click. Thanks

Generally, if a memory card is new it does not need to be formatted. Formatting is just erasing everything on the memory card and starting over. To format it on the camera, go to the button just under the trash button and press it. It shows capture and setup - highlight Setup. Scroll down to format and press enter.If you want to format the memory card, scroll up to "memory card" and enter. Scroll up to OK and press enter. The camera will format the card and you are ready to take new pictures on it. I think it is easier to just insert the memory card into a computer, find it under "my computer", right click on it and you are offered the option to format it.

My laptop had a slot in the front for camera memory cards. Since I upload my pics to our desktop via USB and rarely pull my camera's memory card out... I never tested it. But it was there. :)

The thing is, they're not even showing up as being on the card, but they show up when I go through the files on my camera. And I made sure they're actually ON the SD card, because it says my internal memory is empty. I was reading other posts and I think I may have recorded them in the wrong format? I don't know how to change that though...

I don't know much about camera's but did you (format it) look up on (google.com) how to format the disk for your camera.

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

It's really easy to download pictures to an SD card, then just pop the SD card into display. I don't remember having to do anything else. All my pictures came up fine. I don't believe there is internal memory if that's what the question is actually asking.

My camera did the same thing and at first I thought it was the camera and I thought about exchanging it for a new one. I instead bought another memory card to try first and since then I haven't had any issues.

In my experience, that's exactly what happens. You insert the card, take the pictures, and download them to your computer. However, the software to download is supposed to be on your camera, and when you connect your camera to your computer, it is suppose to download the software. My last experience with a Kodak camera, the software on the camera did not work and there's no support at Kodak. If you have a printer that supports it, you can download your memory card to your computer that way.

For me, the easiest way to do it is by inserting the memory card directly to my computer. You should also be able to connect it via USB port, just be sure to check the cam´s USB connection settings and drivers.

I think it takes a regular size SD Card (not mini-sd card). There is an option to format it through the settings on the camera, so may need to do that. I don't remember the exact steps to reach that setting but it is there.

Yep, I have the same problem. Luckily, I connected the camera with the card in it, directly into my PC with the USB connector that came with the camera. The pictures downloaded just fine. I thought the card was defective until I saw your post.

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

If you have a memory card adapter or slots on your PC or printer (connected to PC) you can put the memory card in the slot and it should bring up the auto-play menu thing on Windows. If it does, hit the folder button then you can copy/paste them where you want. If it doesn't show up or autoplay does not start, wait a minute after inserting the card so it can plug-and-play install (you can see the little icons at the bottom of your screen, it should say something about installing something) then go to My Computer; there should be a new drive letter that isn't associated with your stuff. That'll be your memory card and you can find your files to do as you please with them. If you aren't using a memory card, you'll have to hook your camera up via USB directly to your computer and access the files through there. I know I"m not too detailed on explaining; though I hope it helps. :/

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

For something like a camera's memory card, no, not that I see. But couldn't you do that by connecting the camera to the computer via USB and transferring pics from camera to computer? Or if you wanted to go the other way, put a memory stick into the laptop to store pics on the memory stick (cruzer/flashdrive).**I stand corrected now that I see the answer given 2 below. Thank you for pointing this out, I totally missed it James. I apologize Dina, for any confusion created by my initial response.
