Nikon D90 won't format my memory card?

11 years 9 months ago #240859 by Mike Ayrouth
I'm pressing both red 'Format' buttons as normal and it's not formatting my card like its suppose to? Has this happened to any of you? It's just not doing anything?!

If you can help me, I would appreciate your help.

Try formatting it thru the menu setting...

As Scott said through the menu but look at the existing photos and see if there is a key symbol on them. I have inadvertently hit the Protect Images button before, not sure if this will keep you from Formatting but it is work a look. If it will not Format via the camera, then stick it in your card reader and do it in Windows if that is what you do. Also this just came to mind check the slider lock on the card as well to see that it is in the right place, if it is locked then the card will do nothing.

If you fail to find a solution try another memory card. This is cheaper than buying a Canon... OK - that was a joke. I hope you find the solution. :thumbsup:
