#OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA MEMORY CARD READER UPDATE#
#OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA MEMORY CARD READER FULL#

Apparently some Olympus camera's don't like it if you format the card on a windows machine: I tried formatting both through the GUI and Command Line, I tried FAT16, FAT32 and exFAT. I had exactly the same issue with my VR-340. The person who recommended formatting in a computer is right on as modern computers will invoke TRIM as part of the formatting process, remapping bad memory blocks. Well except for one bad 64GB Kingston which they replaced, it didn't work in anything though the replacement has given years of use in my wife's Fuji and Panasonic cameras.

The least compatible were Sony and Kingston though my various Nikon bodies worked with all brands. For me the most reliable cards were from Panasonic but they now only make cards for their professional video cameras. I've had cards that worked in multiple devices yet fail in Panasonic or Olympus cameras. However the camera might only accept a range of 9-11. Say that one of the specifications is 10+/-2, so a card in the range of 8-12 should work. My opinion is this is due to the specification tolerance accepted by the bodies.Įxample with made up numbers. I think we are experiencing the 'Panasonic fussy card problem' on our Olympus bodies. I have tested both new cards and they are both OK.

I then received a reply from the card retailer, full of apologies and asking that I return the card to them.

#OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA MEMORY CARD READER UPDATE#

I e-mailed my card supplier but before I received a reply I installed the latest firmware update from Olympus and that appears to have cured the problem, in that I no longer receive the error message and the images are captured. The above error message is once more displayed.Īny suggestions please, simple terms preferred!! but then this display lasts only a couple of seconds then reverts to the default Menu display. With the card installed, I select Menu>Preliminary & basic shooting options>card setup>Format>Yes (This results in a message Caution erasing all)select Yes>results in 'busy'. I have been advised that I should format the card whilst in the Olympus but when I attempt to do so, this process does not seem to work. The card does not generate this message in another camera, and the card from the other camera does not generate this message when inserted into the Olympus. I carefully checked with the seller of the card before purchase, that it was compatible with the camera. I inserted a new Sandisk SHDC Ultra Class 10 30MB/s card to find 'Card Error' displayed on the screen. I have just taken delivery of a new Olympus OM-D-E-5.
