When I turn the camera on, the first thing that comes up is the initial settings screen to set language, home, and DST. I then have to press the shutter button to put the camera in a mind to shoot. If there's no card in the camera, the "No card in camera" message appears. When going to the format command in the Menu system, and selecting format, the message doesn't bounce back to the "no card in camera" screen display.
When you press the OK button to format the card, what happens on the screen. Do you get a message that says "formatting" or some such sign of activity? I'm going to visit with John Celio in a bit, swap out cards, and see what we can find out before I decide to give up and return the camera. Shel > [Original Message] > From: Godfrey DiGiorgi > Hmm. I took my card out, turned on the camera. It says "no card in > camera" on the LCD.
