Problems With Olympus 3030 & 4000 Camera's
"Marvin Culpepper" wrote in message
news:tAYig.1686$ZV5.1138@dukeread05... I have an Olympus 3030 I am currently using and have also owned 3000 and 4000 models. I have had all of these cameras have problems reading smart media cards. Sometimes the cameras will read the cards other times I get error and try to format cards in camera and that does not work either. If I reinstall the card a number of times the camera might evidentually read the card. This has happened to 3 cameras and 4 or 5 different cards. I am curious if other Olympus users have had this problem. If you have any ideas you can contact me at . This was one problem with smart media and part of the reason it was made obsolete a few years ago. I had a Fuji 6800z and every once in a while I had to eject and reinsert the card to make it read. Clean the card with a pink type pencil eraser (pink usually has grit in it). Spray some electrical contact cleaner on the card contacts and wipe off with a lint free cloth. John |

I had the 2020Z and 4000 with about 25 SmartMedia Cards (PNY and Olympus)...never experienced that problem. Did you buy good quality cards with gold plated contacts? Could be a contact oxidation problem... |
