Card Error

[kontenjeru]

I have an Olympus E-500 DLSR and I'm using a Hoodman 2GB 150x-133x speed CF card.

Up until yesterday, everything had been working fine, but now I'm getting a "Card Error" reading on the LCD. I've had both the camera and the card for about a month, and I'm assuming that it's only the card that's faulty.

Has anyone else experienced this or knows what to do?

Any help is appreciated.

format the card in the camera ? try a different card ? make sure it is the card that is causing the error ...

It won't let me format, but I'll see if I can track down another CF card.

Normally if it won't let you format it the card is bad. You usually have a 1 year or liftetime warranty on the card...find your reciept!

That's just what I did. Back in business!

Samy's return policy saved me $100...
