Canon Vixia HF R800 Camcorder - "CHECK MEMORY CARD"

My screen constantly says "CHECK MEMORY CARD." This is happening with every memory card inserted. I have tried initializing cards - I have sought advice online - but no one else seems to have this challenge. How else can I "check" the memory cards? They are currently all uncheck-able.

Are you using full-sized SD cards, or micro-SD cards? Always best to use full-sized cards.

Page 240 of the User Manual has some troubleshooting steps, but I believe you already did all you could (manual mostly states to try a different card).

It could be that the camcorder itself is failing. You can call Canon to look into a repair.

I figured that might be the only explanation, but wanted to check reliable sources. Thank you.
