Re: KM A200 - recharging without losing setup?

thx for that info Neil,

I wonder, do you think reinstalling the firmware would cure the card problem?

You've nothing to lose by trying , no harm will come to the camera .

As the camera is on the current firmware , I doubt that the installation process will happen , and as you can not revert to a previous version and reinstall , I can't see anything happening .

.

It's worth a try , you've nothing to lose .

.

Regarding the cards , as a long shot , try secure erasing the cards on your P.C , then reformatting them on your P.C , before putting one in the camera and seeing it will recognise it before formatting in the camera .

See what happens with cards less than 4GB first .

Was trying it right after i posted.

It did work, and the camera will let you load it again.

Transcend and Lexar cards now work.

Microdrive still no joy, but i only keep the MD around cuz it came with one of the A2's.

Thx again for the advice.

Now i am ready to go shoot the world...........just have to find a place with some green in it....LOL
