Mini SD Memory card Error.

Posted 11/09/2006 - 12:31 Link
Hi All, I have an optio 50L. I have used a mini 128 mb sd card from my Motorola Razr mobile without any problems. i have recently bought an 2.0gb mini SD card form Fleabay but just get the Memary Card Error message when switching on. When i try to format the card the message Data being processed comes up then the camera closes down.

Any Ideas gratefully received.

Not sure, but you may need a firmware update in the Optio to support larger cards

Hi, and welcome to the boards..

I think you'll probably find that that model doesn't take a 2 gig card. I had a quick look and only found mention of a 256 mb card as an optional extra, which may be the biggest you can use. I stand to be corrected by someone who knows what they're on about of course..

EDIT: and Matt'll be that someone.. posting while I'm typing..

Cheers

Just checked the Optio 50L manual

Page 77 has the specs, and it mentioned "Up to 1Gb". Some models have had updated firmware to support cards of 2Gb and the higher spec'd SDHC (4Gb+) - but I couldn't find anything on the 50L at the moment.

Sorry that isn't such good news
Matt
