I have a Konica Minolta digital camera. My 2GB sd card which is probably about 6 months old, used to work in my camera, but now it just says "Unable to use card." BUT the card still works on other card readers, such as my printer. And no, the disk lock is not on.
I tried another 2GB card in my camera, and it works fine. Why can't my camera read that SD card? Does anyone have any insightful answers or solutions to my problem?
Why my 2GB SD card no longer works in my digital camera?
format the card in the camera
Reply:Like others have mentioned reformat the card in your camera.
If your camera was writing to the card and the battery went dead it will cause a write failure and the end result will be the camera is unable to read the card. Contact customer support you might be able to return the card and they will fix it or replace it. Lexar did this for one of my cards. Sandisk was another story, they SUCK!!!! I will never purchase or use their products.
Reply:First check the metal contacts on the card ... make sure they are clean.
If you formatted the card using your computer (especially a Mac) you may have destroyed the card. This happened to me when a friend did that to a 2GB card of mine.
ONLY format using the cameras format feature.
Reply:You may have accidentally formatted it using a format that is not recognized by the camera. Some cameras have their own format so using your camera, go to the Menu or settings and look for the FORMAT feature. If you cannot find it, look for it in your camera's manual.
