Formatting an SD card doesn't completely delete the files; formatting only removes the reference to the files. If you accidentally format an SD card, you may be able to use a data recovery software tool to recover the files.
Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my EOS M100 and my Lexar 16GB SDHC. I have always used this SDHC and it has always worked. Now I downloaded the photos on my mac and I deleted everything on the SDHC. When I put the SDHC back in the camera it did not work anymore, saying "memory card error". The card is not on locked position and unfortunately I cannot format the SDHC card from the camera itself because the option "format" is grayed out in the menu.
Any idea why this happened?
Thank you everybody
As Norman said, the Mac format is not compatible with the camera format. If you cannot find a windows computer, try to see if the Mac will format the card in FAT32 format. If you can get the card to FAT32, then format the card in the camera.
macOS calls the formats ms-DOS and ExFat depending upon amount of storage. Formatting to ms-DOS on the mac might enable camera to format the card to its preferred format. -utility/erase-and-reformat-a-storage-device-dskutl14079/mac
I always move the switch on the memory card to write protect before putting it in the card reader on my iMac. Then I erase the card in the camera with the format menu option after all of the photos are stored and backed up.
Sorry guys. You have ALL over thought the problem. Just like in the Movie Sling Blade when the man brought his mower to the repair shop because it wouldn't start, the first thing the Karl did was discover it was out of gas.
Perhaps beware of the pitfalls of not reading all of the information in the OP's post and then making a definitive statement that is dismissive of others' attempts to resolve the situation. Even if you missed it, you put yourself in a much less vulnerable position by posing your thoughts as a question rather than making dismissive statements of those who are trying to help.
Between using the SD Formatter utility, and the validity test, you should be up and running. If the card is genuine, SanDisk stands behind them! You can contact Support at 1-866-SanDisk for assistance.
i think there is something wrong with the 32 gigs i purchased 32 gigs from radiosahck i . oppened the pakake and kept only the card with the little plastic box so when i tried it on my samsung note 2 it said that it was bank or unknown files so i tried to return it and radio sahck couldnt take it cause i didnt have the whole pakage that it it came with
I would like to introduce you a very good data recovery software, called Tenorshare Data Recovery which can be used to recover data from your SD card.It can recover data after deeply scanning your SD card to look for lost data you accidentally deleted or formatted,And then your SD card will be recover to the original default settings.
Firstly, you ought to recover the data from this SDHC card to avoid losing them.For software,you can use the one I used before.Then,you can format it to check out whether it can be fixed.Hope this helps!Luck!

You need to steer clear of NTFS, etc, as they are enhanced formatting types for the relevant operating systems that allow lots of whizzy feature like shadow volumes, auditing and extended permissions.
The various FAT types are often just called FAT by various things, confusingly. FAT was used on PCs of old running DOS and now just irrelevant, FAT32 was predominately introduced with Windows 95 and EX-FAT was introduced for mobile devices running Windows CE.
Whilst FAT32 can address 2 Terrabytes of information in theory; for reasons I haven't read up on, the SD card industry imposed a limit of 32Gb on it. The various SD manufactures do preference EX-FAT as it allows files larger than 4Gb, so great for video.
So FAT32 will be fine, but so should EX-FAT. As it's the address table that's the main difference between the two formats, I would hazard a guess that's what is causing the confusion. But must be related to the SDCARD, as I'm using EX-FAT in the MK7 GTD OK.
The Nav database for the basic Discover Nav is supposed to be in Slot 2. I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the logic of why this might be? It had ended up in Slot 1 when I got my hands on the car, with no apparent ill effects.......
First, it reads and formats all SDHC cards, including SanDisks, EXCEPT for my 64GB SanDisk Extreme Pro U3, C10 card. I bought this card specifically for the camera, based upon on-line reviews that not only said it worked, but was very fast.
The D340 repeatedly says, "the memory card cannot be used. Card may be damaged. Insert another card." This happens on different days and before and after other similar cards are inserted and work without problem.
Per your suggestion, I just downloaded the newest/current firmware version, 1.12 and confirmed that the camera updated it (I used a working SDHC card). However, the camera still says the 64GB SDHC can't be formatted.
I have never tried to format any of my cards on my computer, I always format them in camera. And if that won't work, then rather than fiddling around endlessly, I would just return the card as faulty. I also never purchased a refurbished one; didn't even know they were offered.
He didn't. There's no such thing as UHC anyway. There are three BUS Speeds: UHS-I, UHS-II, and the recently announced UHS-III. Only a few cameras make use of UHS-II (two rows of contacts), the card in question here is in all likelihood an UHS-I.
A couple of years ago I decided to test one of Samsung's faster cards to see if it still was worth the extra money for Sandisk Ext
