  • Having issues with your camera’s SD card? This short gives you a quick and simple fix that can solve a lot of sd card errors. Watch my full length 11 Fixes For SD Card Errors video • 11 Fixes For SD Camera...
    Each sd card has a lock switch that can be enabled to protect your data. If this switch is in the locked position, your camera will not be able to write to the card.
    Your sd card error might just be solved with a simple flick of a switch.
    The SD cards I use - www.photograph... (Amazon)
    In my opinion, the best SD cards for cameras are Sandisk Extreme Pro:
    ▶Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB SDXC:

    ●(eBay) - www.photograph...
    ▶Sandisk Extreme Pro 128GB SDXC:
    ●(Amazon) - www.photograph...
    ●(eBay) - www.photograph...
    SD Card Readers if your computer doesn't have an SD slot:
    ▶Anker 2-in-1 USB 3.0 SD Card Reader:
    ●(Amazon) - www.photograph...
    ●(eBaby) - www.photograph...
    ▶Smart Q USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader:

    ●(eBay) - www.photograph...
    ▶SmartQ C307 USB 3.0 Portable Card Reader:

    ●(eBay) - www.photograph...
    ▶Kingston USB 3.2 SD Card Reader:
    (Catch AU) - www.photograph...
    (eBay) - www.photograph...
    Some common memory card errors might be: card error - not formatted, card is full, card not initialized, this card cannot be used, memory card is locked, etc…..There may be different reasons why your camera is not reading your sd card.
    ▶I use and recommend Surui Tripods - sirui-photo.co...
    ▶I use and recommend Bluehost for website hosting. They're fast, reliable, and have great customer support. If you are building a website or want to improve the speed of an existing site, check out Bluehost - www.bluehost.c...
    If this method doesn't work, you may have to purchase another SD card. SD cards are fickle and sometimes they don't work, that's just the way it goes. If you can't find a way to fix your sd card error in camera, then you will want to check out the links above to SD cards that I recommend.

      It was the second round of pictures that i tried to look at that I got that message

      So I google it and there was a few people on different forums having the same issue and asking for help, but i saw no solution responses!!
      Now my sister did do an update And it should be ready in a few hours, But I did see someone on one of those forums saying updating it didn't fix the issue... I guess we'll see you in the morning 🤷‍♂️
