Help: Olympus EVOLT E-500 Compact Flash card error
I've just bought an Olympus EVOLT E-500 and this morning received a
SanDisk Ultra II 2.0 GB CompactFlash card. I can only insert the card one way round - with front (darker side) facing towards the back of the camera. When I turn the camera on I get a 'card full' error. When I select menu - card setup - format I get a 'card error'. When I insert the card into my PC's card reader and ask for properties it tells me that there is 1.93Gb free. Have I bought a card that isn't compatible with my camera, a faulty card, a faulty camera or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Have you tried reformatting the card in the camera? Thanks for eliminating one of the possibilities so quickly. What I try reformatting the card in the camera I get a 'card error' so hopefully the problem is a faulty card, rather than a faulty camera. Cheers, Wake |

Make sure you didn't bend the pins on the camera. I had the same problem
