It doesn't matter gamka. The menu says Format, so that's what people will be looking for. There's no need to complicate matters.

Of course, the OP just might have a faulty card.

It is said that any idiot can sell cheaper or at a loss. The essential thing is to make a profit so things can be kept going, including expensive R&D departments.

Whatever the camera does, the instructions are clear: format the card in the camera it's going to be used in. In the case of the compacts this creates more than one folder, which is more than the PC can possibly do.

If you have something to say to the Moderator team, then a PM isn't quite so public.....

There were so many makers, but the smaller ones started to be swallowed up in the 1960s and by the 1970s some of the bigger players like Rollei were suffering as well.

There seem to be two options these days - be part of a larger organisation or be small and specialised like Leica or Alpa.

Ah, I see you caught up with it!

Algi, whatever are you talking about? A Pentax MX is a 35mm film camera with a nominal format of 24x36mm. A Kodachrome slide will no doubt be slightly copped by the mount, but not to 23x24mm!

Some of the Pentax lenses are made by the other manufacturers

Only partly true, because the optical design may be a co-operation, even the basic elements might be, but the coating and overall construction may be something else entirely. I would never assume anything.

It looks like over the years there has been co-operation with at least Carl Zeiss, Tokina and Tamron. What the actual input has been is unknown.

The forum software doesn't have a merging option, but to merge would make the flow of posts lose their sense.

Helpful/Not Helpful? I don't know. We don't change things for the sake of it and it doesn't seem to be doing any harm.
