Memory Card Error

[jalynnjohnsonnn]

Hello!

So, I have this kind of older camera, the Cannon PowerShot A590IS, and I went to use it the other day, and it said the memory card was full. Well I don't mind, I went out and got a new one, but I put it in and now the camera says "Memory Card Error" at the top, and I'm assuming that is why I can't take pictures. Any advice? I need some help here LOL!

Will the camera read whats on the old card in playback mode?  Is the card indeed full?

If possible, can you connect the camera to a computer and copy data from the card?

Hi jalynnjohnsonnn!

Bear in mind that the A590 is an older camera, so it's only compatible with SD and SDHC cards. That means you want to use full size (not mini/micro) SD cards that are 32GB or smaller. If your card is larger than 32GB, the PowerShot A590 IS will not be able to read the camera. Also, if you're using a mini/micro SD card inside an adapter, the camera may have difficulties. 

I hope this helps!

No, I cannot see what is on the card on the camera or on the computer so I don't know if it's actually full. 😕
