optio 33 lf memory card query

I have just purchased an optio 33 lf, bought a 128mb san disk sd memory card, followed the instructions in the manual when inserting it i,e switched it off when i inserted it then formatted it. but if i take a picture and try to view it in playback mode a message appears stating "camera cannot display this image". can anyone help, have i bought the wrong card or one which is not compatible any answers much appreciated

I also have an Optio33 with a 256MB San Disk SD card and i get that same error.

I will sometimes be able to view pictures on the camera but then it will just stop letting me and show me the error "camera cannot display this image" even though it just was displaying it fine. I can connect the camera to my laptop and download the images and they look great. But i would like to be able to view them on the camera.

I have a SD 128M card installed and I'm getting this error when trying to browse the pictures I've taken. This doesn't happen all the time but it's annoying.

Pls if someone know how to fix it let me know.

I also tried to upgrade firmware 1.01 to 1.13 as it is posted on the pentax.ca website but couldn't upgrade it. I just doesn't do it even if I follow all the steps.

Thanks,

Jaime.

I too have just purchased a 256 MB San Disk SD memory card and have the persistant "cannot display this image" showing on my LCD screen (I have an Optio LF33 camera). At times I can view a few images but then it stops allowing me. Can anyone help!?

Hi Everyone, I am using a 33lf as well, and have this problem, I am using a SAN disk 256mb card. I have noticed if you change pictures at a slower rate it doesn't happen.

I tried a friends 512mb card which is also SAN disk brand and didn't seem to have a problem, although I didn't try it out enough.

Now today I tried the firmware update from Canada's Pentax site, it isn't actually an update because my camera is v1.01 and the update is the same version, after running the update I haven't had this problem anymore, and I have tried it out alot to try and make it fail!
