The SD Association has recognized a problem with counterfeit SD cards (esp. if bought online), some produced in the same facilities as good cards. I suggest you go to the SD Association website and download their SD formatter. This will tell you if the card actually has the full capacity it advertises on the card itself. If, after formatting it with SD formatter, it is good, then reformat it in the camera. If this fails, contact Canon.

..Yes, thanks very much for bringing this up and for this tip!

..I totally forgot about the "third wheel ", that there are "fake" SanDisk memory cards floating out there (just like fake Beats headphones)..

..I always buy my memory cards (and headphones) from Best Buy, it's my reliable source..

..thanks for sharing..

..Cheers..
