There is a "format" feature in one of the menus. The manual is not very clear, you need to tinker with it, but you will find this menu.

Click on the menu button and then press the large round dial up or down to move through the menu. When you see the icon that looks like a hard-sided overnight case, press the little round button in the middle of the large round dial to select it. This opens a new menu - it is several pages long and you move through it the same way - using the large round dial and pressing at the top to move up or the bottom to move down. This is where you will find the "format" command for the memory card. There may be other memory card options as well - I don't know as it is a new camera for me too. However, if you look at the bottom of the screen as you move through the menu, it explains each function. Hope this helps!

I use it with a regular sd card and just plug and play. I did not have to format it.

I have the computer and the memory, but don't know how to do it. Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere?

No. Turn off power to camera. Remove, then reinsert data card. Format card again. If that doesn't work, it may be the card has errors. If that is the case, then reformat the card in your computer. Then repeat the formatting process in your camera.

Be sure it SD card is formatted. Try on computer if you have to to be sure it is working.

Generally, if a memory card is new it does not need to be formatted. Formatting is just erasing everything on the memory card and starting over. To format it on the camera, go to the button just under the trash button and press it. It shows capture and setup - highlight Setup. Scroll down to format and press enter.If you want to format the memory card, scroll up to "memory card" and enter. Scroll up to OK and press enter. The camera will format the card and you are ready to take new pictures on it. I think it is easier to just insert the memory card into a computer, find it under "my computer", right click on it and you are offered the option to format it.

Insert card into camera.w/ camera set to view pictures, press menu button. arrow down to the icon of the little wrench (that's setup). Arrow down/thru 5 pages til you see format. it will say "delete all data?" (make sure there are no pictures on the card you want to keep or they will be gone once you hit yes. Hope that helps. If you have any ?? lmk As I also have this camera.

In addition to Mr Hoopers excellent advice, be sure to format the SD card using the "format SD card" command in the drop down storage menu.

One you have formatted the card, you've erased the software that comes on it. The instructions, if I'm recalling correctly, instruct you to copy the folder from the card to your computer before doing any formatting. Go to their Web site. Support should be able to help.

No, you can't. This isn't a microsd card, though it probably came up in your search for a microsd card, like it did when I bought it, and then returned it.

Cards need to be formatted using FAT16 or FAT32. If that's the case, then I'm not sure, you might try their customer support.

I would try formatting it through the camera... The manual for this camera says it takes SD or MMC memory cards. If you use another kind (CF, MS, xD, or SM) then it's unlikely to work. I have had mine for many years and it is a GREAT camera.. don't give up on it :)

Everything is suppose to automatically save to the memory card. If not go to setting and go to storage after checking if you can't see the way to do it ask again k

I had that problem. My daughter figured out how to format it with the camera. I think she looked it up in the book that came with the camera.
