Cuddyback Question
 

Husband and I went to swap out our cards on our cuddyback excite cameras. These take compact flash cards. when we got home and went to look at the pictures nothing was on them, but the camera displayed error card full. This is our first year for these cameras, does anybody have any ideas what we did wrong? any suggesstions would be very helpful.

my cuddes do it from time to time but i now format the card once i put it in the camera and they havent done it since i started doing that. before the only cards that it would do that to would be lexar cards. all my kodak and scandisk cards would be fine. but i still format every card everytime so i dont take a chance of missing anything.

Could you explain what you do to "format" a card? I have had the same problem, but I haven't heard about formatting a card. Thank you very much for the help!

Thanks Buckeater got the book out last night found the section on formatting. Thank you again for your help.

Goose11 If you have the Cuddtback Excite camera I have the original book on this camera. I can tell you or maybe make a copy for you if you need it.

Hey after reading your post about a book, I got my owners manuel out and followed the instructions. (When all else fails...follow the instructions!)

: ) Thanks

Always format the card in the camera, never in the computer. You have alot less chance of having memory card errors that way.

i have the no flash and mine was doing that... it turned out i called cuddeback and they said try a smaller card, and it worked!!

We finally got them working, they cards would not format in the camera so we bought new ones and formatted them in camera. They work great now. Just cannot wait to see what is on them.

Yet another Cuddeback problem... these cams always seem to have bugs about with them. I've tried a few of them myself and I've been very un-impressed with their performance. :confused0024:
