JHAG Posted November 11, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Suddenly, my Sandisk Extreme III 2 Go card displays "Card error" on me D Lux 3. Pictures are not damaged, I could retrieve it through Lightroom, but the camera refuses to read the card. I'm trying to format the card, unsuccessfully from my Mac Disk Utility Any guess anyone ?

ceflynn Posted November 11, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 11, 2006 Page 106 of the manual has instructions for formatting the SD card in the camera itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted November 11, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2006 Johan-Frederik-- Is this a relatively new card? I read elsewhere on this forum that there are known to be counterfeit. If it is a real Sandisk card, I think they have a lifetime warranty. You'd need to check with Sandisk. --HC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted November 12, 2006 @Howard : Brand new. It worked perfectly for 3 days. Yes, it's real : packaging, warranty, etc @Charles : Tried this too : no way. My Power Mac was running undefinitely and I tired the formatting in camera with my D2 too.

ceflynn Posted November 12, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2006 You are welcome. According to Disk Utility in Mac OS X, the SD cards are formatted as MS-DOS File System (FAT16). I am not sure that format is one that Disk Utility offers when you erase a device, even though MS-DOS File System (FAT32) is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted November 12, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 12, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) 99% probability of being fake. This does not necessarily mean that they will not work ok, but there's no redress if they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
