memory card full error

hello peeps, I've got a problem with my k10 and sandisk ultra II 2gb SD card.

It started after I tried using the Pentax Remote Assistant software last night. Today the camera shows 'memory card full'. I've tried formating in camera, there are no images to delete. I've tried erasing and formating via my macbook.

Still getting the same problem.

Any ideas?

thanks

can you write to the card from your macbook?

could be that the card has packed in, if so I think the sandisk ones have a lifetime warranty so you should be able to get a replacement.

have you looked at the edge of the card for the write protect switch?
you may have accidently locked it on inserting it to your camera.

Have you tried a different card?

Thanks for the replies, so far I've found:

Not the lock switch,
Can read and format on the Mac

I don't have another card to try.

I had a problem on a card, formatted it on another K10D and that cured the problem on my own camera.

Perhaps a kindly photographic dealer would let you try the same?

just tried it with another sd card (I forgot I had on in my gps unit), same problem.

Um.... just tried a 'reset' from the camera menu, guess what, it worked!!

One of the joys of having a computer at the heart of the camera - still good news that its working now.

This error only occurred after i tried using the remote software, anyone else had problems with this?

I have only used the remote software once and didn’t have any problems afterwards. Did you upgrade the firmware to the latest version (1.20) and download the latest edition of the Remote Assistant software?

I didn’t install the software that came on the CD with my K10D but downloaded it from the Pentax website, also although I only got the camera on the 9th May it shipped with version 1.00 firmware so I downloaded 1.20 and upgraded straight to that.

I use 2GB SanDisk Extreme III SD cards and Windows XP Pro SP2 if that’s any help.
