In the same way, camcorders do unique things to the SD cards inserted onto them that are not visible to us as we view their contents before or after inserting into a reader connected to the PC. There are certain explicit steps to be taken to configure the device to be able to do just that (involving placement of certain boot files, invisible or not, in some specific sectors/addresses). For example, I can't just take any SD card or flash drive, format it in FAT or FAT32, drag OS boot/installation files in it, then expect to be able to boot from it when connecting to the PC. These non-visible parts of the media can be critical because they define where the device may be used, and how.

When a storage device is inspected in the PC or camcorder, the contents of the data area can be seen, but they largely don't tell us info in the portions of the media we don't see, like the boot sectors, MBRs, ToC, etc.

SD cards, along with USB flash drives, are "neutral", but are probably more "neutral" than other storage devices like optical media and hard drives. I guess I will take it to a shop that sells them. Also took SD off of write protect, thought that was going to be it, but not. So the language of the original source would be compatible with the SD card, because it's would record anything you fed it? Kinda logical? I told you I'm not real smart. Well I thought the SD card would be neutral and that what ever you dragged to it would be a copy and that the format would also be copied. I'm wondering if I can restore it the way it was when I just got it. I guess I ruined it by formatting it with pc and not with camcorder. This is just so strange since my camcorder supports sdhc cards and my computer reads the card just fine.

I also tried cloning software to clone the internal memory to the sdhc card.

When I connect the camera to my pc through usb, windows says the camera's internal memory is in fat32 so it should have worked. The camera still can't access it and can't format it. I tried what you proposed, that is formatting it in fat32 but it didn't work. Thank you for your reply and your welcoming. Unless Panasonic uses some odd formatting, that may fix it.Īnd welcome to our forums.

It should be able to give you the proper FAT32 format that should be compatible with your camera. Most all USB thumb drives and SD cards need to be formatted in FAT32 and Windows doesn't do that so well. What format did you use when you formatted it in the PC? If it was NTFS, that may be your problem. What can I do to restore the card?īy the way, I'm a noob so simple language would be appreciated. I read everywhere now I shouldn't have formatted it with pc but with camcorder but that information is of no use to me now. I've tried to format it again with my pc (SD formatter program), but to no avail.

When I insert the SD card in my camcorder and go to formatting in the camcorder, it's grey, I can't click on it. I was dumb enough to first format it with my pc.

In the manual is stated that when using cards which are not from panasonic it should first be formatted in the camcorder. The card works perfectly and fast with my computer but when I insert it in my camcorder it states: 'control card'.

The camcorder manual says it can take up to 32GB SDHC cards if they are minimum class 4. I have a panasonic TM300 camcorder which has internal memory and room for SDHC cards. I read topics here sometimes but I specifically made an account for the problem I'm having.
