I wouldn't discard completely the possibility that cards >4GB can be used but if I remember correctly the 4GB limit has to do with the file system used (FAT32). Anyhow 4GB should be fine even for shooting in non-compressed RAW. I started in 2004 with 512MB - really small for shooting RAW, then later I got a 2GB.

BTW a nice feature of the A2 is its time lapse operation.

My A2, which I use constantly, has an 8gb card. It affects the photo numbering sequencing in some manner, which is immaterial to me. I just found a Firmware upload link which updates my firmware from it's current 1.1 version to 1.4e. It requires a minimum of 16 GB...which I have on order.

See my above post .

To do the firmware update it states you need a minimum of a 16MB card not a 16GB card .

Follow the links to the download page and see the PDF here ; https://www.konicaminoltasupport.com/index.php?id=2308&L=0%2Fi

Your 16GB card won't go to waste though , it'll fit a heck of a lot of shots on it in this camera !
