Media card will not work in
a digital camera after
formatting it in Microsoft
Windows XP.
By default, Windows XP
will format any media
card with a capacity
greater than 32MB with
the FAT32 format. Most
digital cameras use the
FAT (FAT16 & FAT12)
format and can not
operate with a FAT32
formatted card.
Either format the media card in the
digital camera or select FAT file
system to format the media card in a
computer with Windows XP.
A write-protected or locked
error occurs when
attempting to write to the
media card.
Media card is locked.
Locking the media card
is a safety feature that
prevents writing to and
deleting from an
SD/Memory Stick/ PRO
card.
If using an SD card, make sure that
the lock tab located on the right of
the SD card is not in the locked
position. If using a Memory
Stick/PRO card, make sure that the
lock tab located on the bottom of
the Memory Stick/PRO card is not
in the locked position.
