"memory card error" on brand new G5X

Boejakasja — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 08:22:21 GMT

Hi,

I bought a new Powershot G5X, inserted a 128GB sd card (also brand new) and the camera says "memory card error"

It is a cheap 20€ 128GB sd card from Transcend - Transcend Ts128Gsdc300S Sdxc Memorycard, I, C10, U3, V30, Black, 128Gb

When i put in a very old 8GB SDHC card, the camera works fine, so i think the cardreader inside the G5X isn't the problem.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Have you low level format the card in camera?

The card inserted is the same card as my D1300, in the D1300 no problem, in the G5X "memory card error"

I dont want to format the card, card works perfect in laptop, other canon camera, and other devices so I assume the card itself s not the problem, i want to keep the data in the card so format is a nogo

Buy a new card, and format it in the camera. Do not use the memory card in the camera as a storage device, either.

Buy a full-size SD card and try it in the G5X, if it does not work return the new G5X for a refund, or an exchange.
