In this video, I present 6 solutions for how to fix camera sd card errors. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that any of these methods will work for you and your misbehaving sd card, but you may just find a fix that works.
Video chapters:
Intro - 00:00
Meet me - 00:28
Common SD Card Errors - 00:49
Fix number 1 (sd lock switch) - 01:13
Fix number 2 (turn camera off and back on) - 01:45
Fix number 3 (format in-camera) - 02:22
Fix number 4 (format in computer) - 02:52
Fix number 5 (check sd card for errors in computer) - 06:06
Fix number 6 (throw the sd card out?!) - 06:52
A lot of these methods will fix an sd card error but if they do not......you may have to purchase another SD card. SD cards are fickle and sometimes they don't work, that's just the way it goes. If you can't find a way to fix your sd card error in camera, then you will want to check out the links below to SD cards that I recommend:
If you need to format an SD card on a Mac, try these videos:
• How to Format SD Cards...
• How to Format an SD Ca...
I hope this video has given you a solution to why your camera sd card is not working.

my sd card was giving me an error only when used on my camera, like it locked or something, but on my laptop worked perfectly fine. And i tried the unmounting it, remounting it again on the camera, and tried a few times messing with the lock button on the side of the sd adapter and that did not work, i even tried with a different adapter but it didn't work, however, after trying all this as listed, i waited for a few minutes as i was doing further research and bumped into this vid and i guess waiting was the solution now it works in my camera as well and i was able to take photos and record vids. Thanks for this lol def saving it for future reference.

Hi I’m having the same issue what video did you watch that helped?

@jenn2701 4 ай бұрын

hm none of the things i tried helped, it was kinda like i followed the steps here, but then it still didnt work, so i left my camera alone for a while (i turned it off), waited like 5 minutes, and then i turned it on, and it worked, i have had it throw the same error message on screen even after a while of using the camera, and all i do is i turn it off, and back on and it works normally, or if i turn it on and it still shows the same error, i turn it off, then i take the card out, put it back in and turn it on and it works so if you come across these issues you could try doing these two tweaks. lmk how it goes for you, good luck@@Genesis_simms

Thank for making this video! You just saved me a lot of money and worry. I tried cleaning my SD card-no luck, I tried blowing into the card slot- no luck. I keep repeating this with no luck and resigned myself to having to pay someone to fix the camera. For some reason the next morning, I decided to give blowing into the slot one more try. This time I blew several times into the slot with greater force than before. Voila! The camera started reading the card again. So if blowing doesn’t work initially, try blowing really hard. Thank you thank you!!

@photographersfreedom 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching. I don't really recommend blowing into the card slot. When you blow, you don't just expel air but also saliva which can damage the contacts inside the slot. You are better off using a lens blower or air duster (can of compressed air). You don't want those contacts corroding. 🙂

But now, I am starting to have an issue with having the SD card staying inserted, and my pictures are not loading to the same SD Card. My husband tried his new SD Card that's not been used, but it will not stay inserted as well. So what's up with this? do I need to tell my husband to replace the Nikon Z7ii to Nikon D6, since I am used to DSLR? LOL. But for real, I am having trouble and I am ready to throw this thing ( both camera & SD Card ) in the pool . Thank you.

Hi Barry, thanks for the video. Really useful. I tried the first 5 and no joy. The problem I have is that the camcorder turns on without the card inserted. If I insert the card it turns off. When I switch the camcorder on I get the "Welcome" greeting initially then half a second later "Bye Bye" and it turns off. I don't know if the problem is the card of the kit. I don't have a problem with inserting the same card in my old camcorder. For my latest KZfaq video I used the old camcorder but the audio on that is always awful. For this particular vid there was music throughout so audio was more important than normal. I don't want to buy a new card if the camcorder still won't work. Any suggestions.

Have you gone through the troubleshooting section of your camcorders instructions? I've never experienced a problem like this before. I had someone else comment they were having the same issue with their camera. Maybe try Google and see if anyone has found a solution. Other than that, I would try a firmware update for the camcorder. Good luck.

@@photographersfreedom Hi Barry, thanks for replying. I took it to a PC repair shop. The owner did a really deep format and now it works. I tried the longer formatting on my laptop but it wasn't enough. I'm just relieved that I've sorted it and not had to buy a new camcorder. Thanks for your help. Eventually I'm going to re-do the filming I did. Visually it looked just how I wanted but the audio was awful. You can see what I mean: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erSpbMRlktqnqIU.html

Hello, thanks for this video. Neither my PC nor mac recognizes the (brand new SDXC) SD card with a card reader. I also upgraded the software for both computers, bought a new card reader that should be compatible.. etc... still does not recognize the card, even when I check 'show hidden files' in PC, or in Disk Utility in Mac. What would you advise in this case? Thanks so much

Does the card work in your camera?

Barry thanks a lot for your video. I'm switching from a Rebel T5 to a Rebel T8i and I transferred my old memory card to the new camera. The red busy light takes several seconds to turn off. I suppose I should buy a new SD card? Or is it a camera issue? I have not formatted the card, I'd rather buy a new one and see what happens. Any advice? Thank you again.

@photographersfreedom 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Myriam. Thanks for your question. I'm no Canon expert but that sounds like a pretty standard thing to me. The red light simply indicates that the camera is accessing the card. Are you able to take photos with that card in the new camera?

@arqMyriamBM 2 жыл бұрын

@@photographersfreedom Thank you so much for your reply. I was able to take photos but it took so long from one shot to the other. Finally I bought a brand new SD card, faster, and the camera works without problem. And I returned the old card to the old camera. Best regards.

I hope you can help Barry I have a Finepix S100 fs and got a new SD card for it and even after following your steps it still says "card error" I am frustrated to say the least but hoping you can help

@photographersfreedom Жыл бұрын

Make sure you check the sizes of SD card that are compatible with the S100 fs. You may be trying to use a card that is too large for the camera.

My sd card is a few years old but it was working late last year when I was looking through the pictures but then I accidentally took another picture on it and it hasn't worked since. Every time I insert it to my camera that it originally worked in it says that the sd card needs to be formatted and it won't connect to my iMac or MacBook Pro. I'm losing hope and have no clue on what to do. I don't want to delete all the pictures and images that I have especially since I have pictures of my late dogs and videos from my one direction concert. Is there a way to fix it?

You can get data recovery software that should be able to recover your images for you. I have not used it myself, but you could try some of the options in this article www.lifewire.com/free-data-recovery-software-tools-2622893. There are some paid options, too. If you do a Google search, you should find something to help you. You could also Google "data recovery service near me" and see what comes up. Good luck. Let me know how you go...
