This is an
occasional issue that can happen after a long period of use. Some cameras
when formatting the card create a multiple File Allocation Tables (FAT). If the
camera has formatted the card a number times the space used by these tables
will have increased and therefore the available space for saving images will
have been reduced. To fix this, use a card reader to reformat the card
using the DOS 16bit FAT. Remember to have downloaded any images you wish to
keep before hand, as this will destroy all data saved on the card.
