    Digital Video Camera NV-GS57GC and SD card error

    I knew that this question was answered in many other forums including this one, but I could not find something related to my issue.

    Recenlt I bought microSD HC 8 GB with its SD adapter to use it with Panasonic Digital Video Camera model : NV-GS57GC, when i inserted the card I received card error message.

    But when I used (testing purpose) the SD adapter above on my Samsung Camera it works.

    And when I read the manual for Panasonic model : NV-GS57GC it says :
    Do not format the card with another movie camera or any personal computer. This operation may make the card unusable
    Do I need to use special software for formatting ?

    http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...formatter.html

    Although I could not find in Panasonic Digital Video Camera NV-GS57GC an option for formatting!!!

    If SD card did work on Smasung and did not work on Panasonic ,,,Wouldn't that indicat there is no rpoblem with SD card memory itself ?

    I did find that option under "Card PlayBack Mode" , Menu > > Set [ADVANCED] > > [FORMAT CARD] > > [YES].

    But still it gives me error message

    Re: Digital Video Camera NV-GS57GC and SD card error

    Just to clarify - you tried reformatting it in the Panasonic camera and it still gives you an error?

    Have you tried a regular SD or SDHC card to see if that works? Using a MicroSD card adds a second level of difficulty that I would personally rather avoid. Is there a reason you decided on a MicroSD card and adapter instead of an SDHC card?

    Yes I did try that and still gives me an error.

    Have you tried a regular SD
    Yes I did use SD 2 GB (belong to my Samsung Camera) and it worked


    or SDHC card to see if that works?
    Do you mean regular SDHC ? If so I do not have that one.


    Is there a reason you decided on a MicroSD card and adapter instead of an SDHC card?
    I though I might need to use MicroSD with another device If I have not used with the panasonic camera.
