If you've got a card reader in or connected to your compurer, go to This Computer, right click on the SD card and choose Format. Use FAT32. Bingo, the card is formatted. In the camera I believe what you do is "delete all files". Regards Jens Bladt Arkitekt MAA http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt

Hi, That's what I've been doing. I suppose there's something wrong with the camera. I could set the custom functions alright, but formatting, date, time, and a few other things don't work when the OK button pressed. I guess the camera has to be returned. Is there anything else that can be checked or tried?
