Hey all,
So I have a Sony a200 and I just bought a new memory card for it. I've tried to connect the camera via usb in order to format the compact flash card before I use it but I haven't been able to do this because, when I connect my camera to (several) PCs, nothing happens.
I connect the a200 via the USB port to the PC and no information comes up at all, as if I haven't done anything. The drive does not appear on My Computer. On the camera, though, it won't let me see the display screen that usually appears when it's not connected to anything, which leads me to believe that there is some sort of connection going on between the computer and the camera.
Can someone please suggest how I can solve this problem? I'm vacation away from home at the moment and I really need to start taking some pics :P I'm worried if I don't format my lexar platinum ii compact flash drive before I take the photos, it's going to make me do so when I get home and then I'll lose all the files (that's happened to me before with another memory card).
Anyway, please help if you can; I'd really appreciate it
Thanks in advance.
