Why does my camera say ERR SD with all the SD cards I try?

Most likely because on the SD cards the small slider on the side is in the lock position....you need to switch it to the blank or unlock position

The camera is broke. It's not reading SD cards. You can try can air to see if dirt is on contacts.

If the camera has been used it's possible there could be some dirt or lint in the card reader or just a glitch. Also try a card with less memory like 500mb or 1g max as some of the old cameras can't handle the "bigger" memory cards. Most of WG's old cameras are cheap and that is why I got away from them. They just haven't been dependable for me.

One of my moultries did it. I had to "reboot". I am not sure how to do it for sure with a WGI. I have this cam. They don't have great support. Try taking the batteries out. Let it set for a while. No SD card in it either. Put batteries back. Personally I would use a new card. See if that fixes it. If you are like me and have several cams but different makers, they format the SD cards differently and that can cause errors too. Good luck. Let me know if that helps.

I did have this problem with my "Canon" digital camera. I downloaded a program called "ZAR" (for ZeroAccountRecovery), which SUCCESSFULLY RESCUED 92% of the photo images on the SDHC card after about 1.5 hours of scanning the card. There is NO FEE for this particular function of the software!

Try putting in a different SD card. Also be sure the sliding lever on the bottom front is in the left position. Slide it back and forth several times The green light on the front flashes when the unit is working. If that does not work then unplug the unit, hold the top shut and give the unit a good shake. Not sure what else to suggest.

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

Might try a different, smaller memory card - if the problem happens with a different, smaller card, then there is probably something wrong with the device. Their customer service is pretty good so I would return for a new one.If it works fine with a different memory card but continues to fail with your 32Gb card, then there is something wrong with that card - try to format it and/or clear all the data off of it.

I'm using an Olympus card (Fuji and Olympus created XD), but anyone's XD card will work.

Try another USB port in the PC, could be that your port does not recognize the camera. If the other ports do recognize it , file explorer window should open automayically. Another option to take out the SD card from the camera and use SD card reader.

I have no idea, mine was okay. I had no SD card When I purchased it and it was working fine.

I've never used the camera to format an SD card; I've never seen that error. I use Class 10 cards in mine. If the card is already formatted, there should be no need to format it in the camera. I'd check the write tab on the SD card, make sure it's not write protected. But if you know the SD card is good, already formatted and working in other devices, and you put it in the camera and weren't trying to format the card when you got this error, yes, I'd return the camera.

I get card error when tring to format my 32gb, and card too small error when I have a 2gb SD card installed, is this thing junk?

My SD card never had a problem. Check if you are using a card of higher capacity that may not be compatible. I think I am using 32 GB or 64 GB. Both should be fine. But try using 32 if 64 does not work. My only problem is battery. If the camera is not connected to 12V, it goes off in 1 or 2 minutes. Otherwise it is really nice. One more problem is that it makes large files.

Try doing a full format of the card. I have used this card on both Canon and Nikon, several models and never had an issue. Might want to contact Nikon if a full format of the card does not work. There is no firmware on the card that should need to be updated.

Yeah shure, but try to used a class 10 sd card. I used a ultra sandisck class 10 16Gb sd card for this camera. Hope it helps.

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

Sometimes sd cards need to be formatted. If this is not the case in your situation, then look up trouble shooting for the card reader. All else fails you can obviously try another card or contact customer service for the manufacturer, they should be able to walk you through trouble shooting and correcting the problem.
