topic Memorycard problems in Cyber-shot compact cameras https://community.sony.ro/t5/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/memorycard-problems/m-p/294974#M1009 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I just bought DSC-HX5V and a Sony Memorystick Pro Duo HG-card 16 GB. When I put on the camera I get the message "This memorycard can not be recorded to or played up from". (The text is in Swedish and this is my translation:smileywink:.) Whats wrong? One of the many fine things with Cybershot is the possibillity to film in high quality. It seem to be OK for taking pictures though. I have managed to take some pictures and to film a few seconds. Don't know if that has been stored in the memorycard. I also have formated it. Please HELP!</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:54:36 GMT fraisercrane 2012-02-08T17:54:36Z Memorycard problems https://community.sony.ro/t5/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/memorycard-problems/m-p/294974#M1009 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I just bought DSC-HX5V and a Sony Memorystick Pro Duo HG-card 16 GB.

You really shoud not be getting this problem with a Pro Duo HG card as they're easily fast enough.</P><P></P><P>There are two possibilities: either your camera has an internal fault preventing it from reading the card correctly, or you have a fake memory card. Fake cards are unfortunately very common, especially with small online retailers.</P><P></P><P>If you're certain the card you have is a genuine branded product we should perhaps look at a camera repair, however the chances are much greater that the card is somehow at fault. You can check by trying a known genuine card in place of the one you've been using and see if the problem re-occurs.</P><P></P><P>Let me know and we can take it from there.</P><P></P><P>Cheers</P><P>Mick</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:17:55 GMT https://community.sony.ro/t5/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/memorycard-problems/m-p/294975#M1010 Mick2011 2012-02-09T04:17:55Z
