I am so out of my league in this section please help me :hihi:
I have a Konika digital camera, model KD30M, when I turn it on it gives me a menu that offers : play, delete, format...then yes or no, what ever I select I then just get card error message.
I am an absolute beginer and I really don't have a clue what to do, does it need another card? :help:
Your wentworth meet sounds great by the way, I love it there, and the gardens are lovely for taking pictures particularly the water areas... pity I don't have a camera to use :hihi:

it does have a card in it doesn't it?

and it's the right way up?

is there any other device you have which you can insert the card into?

Check and double check the card is inserted properly.

Do you have a 2nd card you can try in the camera?

You need to find a way to check the card is ok before worrying about if the camera is ok.

So, your options:

1. get a known good card to try in the camera
2. try your problem card in another device (phone? PDA? PC card reader?)

One way or another this should show you wether the camera or card is at fault.

What sort of card is it?
