The reason I first posted is that I wondered if someone knew about this being an issue with cameras; whether or not it could be a firmware update issue; it turns out it isn't as I cannot find one to download.

It takes normal SD cards, one of which was included in the box; it produced an error. I tried at least two other SD cards in the camera, both of which work fine in a digital SLR in my possession.

I cannot format the card (or any SD card for that matter) in the camera as they all produce memory card error.

I don't really need any more assistance as I'm returning the camera now, but thank you to all who replied. It has been confirmed as a fault with the camera. No need for any more replies but thanks again!

I understand where you are coming from, except there is only one way I can insert the SD card; I've also checked to see if the card was switched to locked in case that was causing a problem. I've also tried other SD cards in the same camera.

So I still think there is a fault with the camera and the supplier has offered to exchange.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've owned a few digital cameras, so do know the right way to insert an SD card. It has to be a camera fault.

That's the point, I cannot access the card from the camera, it says memory card error. I think that it is indeed a fault with the camera, so I shall be sending it back.

Thanks

Hi all
I recently purchased an Optio S10; when I put the memory card in, it says memory card error.

I have formatted it via my computer; and tried it in a different camera, it is fine. I have tried other memory cards in both the Optio and my digital SLR and still the memory card comes up with memory card error only on the Optio.

Is this a fault and should I send the camera back, or is there something else I can try with the optio at all?

Any thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance.
