SD memory cards for cameras. Formatting.
SD memory cards for cameras.
Done a Proon search with no success.....so here I go from scratch.......
Just bought a Pentax Optio 50 digital camera and a Kingston Elite Pro 256mb SD memory card.
I've read in a photography magazine that I'm supposed to format the card. A quick Google (well, a slow, time consuming one, actually) reveals that the "Format" command in Windows isn't up to a required standard of compliance. So I located a download for a compliant bit of software......in fact it was the only download I could find, and it won't work, telling me that my drive is not compatible.
Question, please -- Should I be fussing with all of this in the first place, ie is the magazine article a load of rubbish?
If it's not a load of rubbish, then could anyone please advise what is the dogs for formatting, please.
