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.
SD and MultiMediaCards are very similar in size and design but
there are some differences.
SD is a second-generation derivative of the MMC standard. The SD format includes several important technological
advancements over MMC. These include the addition of cryptographic security protection for copyrighted data and
a 4X increase in data transfer rates. To help support higher-density capacities, SD cards are slightly thicker
than the original MMC cards. This means that most devices designed to support SD are also backward compatible to
MMC cards, but devices designed only for MMC will not support SD. To confirm compatibility please see our flash
selector.
Before using your flash card with your digital device,
you must format the card in the device. Details on how to format the in your device can normally be found
in the user manual.
