Thread: Latest SDHC would not save pictures with Olympus T-10

Hi. I accept an Olympus T-10 that is aloof over 6 months old. I afresh abounding up the aboriginal anamnesis agenda that I acclimated with it, which was a Sandisk 2GB card. It formed accomplished from the time I placed it into the camera. The chiral for my camera states that it accepts both SD & SDHC anamnesis cards. I absitively to go with the Sandisk SDHC 2GB (class 4) agenda as a replacement. I ordered one from a agent on ebay, which was listed as new, but "bulk". I contacted the agent who awash me the SDHC agenda and he offered to accelerate a new one; he aloof asked that I acknowledgment the one that was not working. I did. I accustomed the new SDHC agenda yesterday, and it does the aforementioned thing. Looks accomplished back I abode it in the camera and "take photos"...until I try to appearance them.


Before mentioned box and "no photo" message. I don't demand to try to "format" this agenda like I did the added one until I get some admonition from addition who knows why this is happening. So, my catechism is...am I accepting abnormal cards, defective to do article in accurate to get them to assignment in my camera, or are they not accordant with my camera? I'm actual apologetic that this is so long; I didn't demand to leave annihilation out, in case it was important to addition out the problem. Thank you so abundant for any and all help!

As far as I know, there is no such affair as a Sandisk 2GB SDHC card. SDHC stands for Secure Digital High Capacity, and alone 4GB and beyond cards are appointed that way. Sizes through 2GB are SD, not SDHC. If you attending at the card, you'll acquisition an SD logo on it. For 2GB and abate cards, you should see SD for the logo.

For 4GB and beyond cards, you will see HC (for High Capacity) beneath the SD logo for Sandisk cast SDHC cards. Note the basal logo on this page. That's what you should see on a Sandisk 2GB SD agenda (with no HC beneath the SD logo): It's additionally accessible that the agenda was not formatted appropriately application the actual book system. For 2GB cards, best cameras are assured a FAT16 book arrangement to be used. Application an operating arrangement like Windows, you'd baddest FAT (not FAT32) if you demand to architecture a 2GB agenda for use in a camera that way. For 4GB or beyond cards (SDHC against SD cards), use FAT32 instead.

In any event, I had try formatting it application a agenda clairvoyant with this account and see what you get. Then, afterwards formatting it application a agenda reader, reformat it application the camera's card best for architecture and see if it works OK or not.

Thank you for the quick reply. If in actuality there is not a Sandisk 2GB SDHC card, afresh I accept the 2 cards that I accept accustomed accept apparently been counterfeits. Here is a articulation to the exact aforementioned agenda that I have, awash my the aforementioned seller. I will attending about at some acclaimed vendors to double-check that I cannot acquisition this artefact actuality awash first, and afresh I will apparently re-contact this agent afresh and appeal a abounding refund, including the added postage absorb on abiding these card(s).

If I can not acquisition this artefact awash elsewhere, afresh I don't see abundant point in aggravating to get it to assignment correctly. My desktop died and I am currently application a Dell laptop with Windows XP that does not accept a aperture for cards. I will apparently aloof end up acclimation a new 2GB agenda from a trusted retailer. Is there any absolute aberration in cast quality? Thank you.

Sandisk Cards are fine, provided they're 18-carat cards. Personally, I buy Transcend cards added generally as they accept abundant "bang for the buck" and backpack a lifetime warranty. For example, you can buy a Class 10 8GB SDHC Card delivered appropriate now from site:But, I anticipate they'll apparently acquaint you that Sandisk does not accomplish any 2GB SDHC cards, as cards with an SDHC logo on them accept to accommodate to the blueprint set by the SD Card Association to use their logos, back SDHC cards are beyond than 2GB.

Yeah.. Interestingly, back I look for Sandisk 2GB SDHC on Ebay, I alike acquisition vendors affairs them in nice packaging. Again, Sandisk cards are the best apish around, back they're actual popular. You'd anticipate that the counterfeiters would be acute abundant to at atomic stick to counterfeiting agenda models that Sandisk absolutely manufacturers. But, allegedly not.
