Could this work in A2?

Kingston Elite Pro 4 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card CF/4GB-S2.

My Scandisc Extreme IV 4 GB did work fine, until I used it in another camera (more about that later)....

Re: Could this work in A2?

No reason why it wouldn't .

Put it in the camera , go into the menu and format the card .

Thanks! It's not here, but can buy it cheap. Thought maybe it was for more advanced cameras (pro).

The A2 was the more advanced camera !

This was a few years ago after all .

Agree with that, more advanced! Still have not found out all, but at the same time userfriendly.

I thought I remembered that the A2 and Kingston cards didn't go well together , slow write speeds compared to other makes. It may have changed with later cards.

It worked ok! Came today, took some pictures, normal speed I think, no problems so far.

Still trying to unlock the Scandisc card, messages no matter what I try:

IndexerVolumeGuid

feilkode  (fault code) 0x8000000a

Any cure for this?

I think your already running your camera on its latest firmware ?

See here ; https://www.konicaminoltasupport.com/index.php?id=2308&L=0%2Fi

.

To sort your card out , try what Hike Pics says here ; https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63297825

He had a card that was misbehaving and this sorted it .

Thanks! Latest firmware, and the new card is working fine. But to sort out the old card, I will try the Hike Pincs link. Had to admit I put the old card in an old Nikon and tried to format, without knowing too much about the camera. Did not work in Nikon and not in A2...

Before I found out what GPdeparted is I tried slow formatting after doing "gjenopprett enhetsstandarder" (renew ???standards) and it worked! Hooray! Two working cards, will check if they work in old Nikon and Canon. Or maybe one in reserve.

Thanks for all the help!

Format the card before use in the camera it's to be used in and it should work just fine .
