Hmm, that's weird.
Have you formatted the card?

The camera will not recognise the card therefore it will not format it. However since my last post I have been able work out that the card is fine & I have been able to return the original camera for a new replacement. Thank goodness, I am going overseas in 2 weeks & would have been lost without my camera.
