Sigma SD10 & 4gig Microdrive - compatibility?
HELP! We leave for Costa Rica soon. The SD10 refuses to format a Hitachi 4gig
microdrive. Some sites say the 2 are compatible, others say 4gig's Fat32 isn't recgonizable by SD10 and that a 2gig FAT16 will work? Will it? Can the 4gig be reformatted to a 2 gig? All informed replies gratefully welcomed! Thanx. |

All informed replies gratefully welcomed! Thanx. The microdrive can be formatted 4GB FAT16 on a PC with Windows XP and the SD10 will use it correctly. Don't attempt to format it on the camera, it will fail. Formatting to 4GB is non-standard and many cameras will not be able to recognise it, but the Sigmas do. I used a 4GB Hitachi microdrive this way when I had a SD9 with no problem at all. -- Regards John Bean |
