How To Fix Read Error On Fujifilm Camera
cards that were inserted in the camera, even though they were readable by the Flashpath adapter in my desktop PC. fujifilm finepix read error The following is the fix that I received while working through the problem with a Fuji Tech in New Jersey:1. Create a "tool" to clean the SmartMedia "drive" in the camera. Do this
Fujifilm Format Memory Card
by cutting a card the same size as a SmartMedia card from a clean, white business card with no printing on one side. Make the new "card" about 1/4" (6mm) longer than the real SM.2. Insert the "tool" with the clean, white side facing forward, toward the front of the camera, the same way the gold traces on a real card face the front of the camera says memory card error camera.3. Gently jiggle the "tool" back and forth in the SM slot for maybe 30 seconds.4. Remove the "tool". You will probably notice very small, grey or black lint and dirt on the end of the "tool". I did.What you have just done is cleaned the internal contacts for the SmartMedia "drive". After performing this "fix" I had no problems reading or formatting ANY of my cards.He also cautioned me against using hand cream or lotion and then handling the camera as well as cautioned against keeping the camera in a pocket or other environment that contributes to lint.Also, be certain that you NEVER delete files from the cards while being read by the desktop PC. This will confuse the Fuji file management system when the card is reinserted in the camera. (At this point it helps to think of the device as small computer imaging device, not a camera...)Hope this helps others in the same situation. It worked for me. I was relieved that the camera didn't have to be sent in for repair. I would imagine that it would work for any of the Fuji cameras that use SmartMedia.Tony Reynolds Reply to thread Reply

to a PC with Windows XP via USB2.0 connection (2) put in a 64MB Smart Media card into the card reader (3) CUT and pasted all the photo files from Smart Media to PC hard disk After that I found my Smart Media could not be used http://greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00AUA3 by the camera (a FUJI MX-1500) again - with message 'card error'. The error persisted even if I formatted it again in the camera. Strangely enough, the smart media card can still be read by the PC thru the card reader. Of course there are no more files there (for there were all 'cut'), but I can copy back all PC photo files onto the smart media without problem. Though it still cannot be used by the camera. Still more card error strange, I tried the same for another smart media card (4 MB), but there is no such problem. Why is there problems for the first smart media card? Any way to fix it for use by camera again? Is it not a good way to erase files in a Smart Media card by a card reader ? -- dragon (thedragon@dbzmail.com), February 01, 2003 Answers I'm sorry to say that I have no answer but have the same problem. I'm using an memory card error Olympus 3000 camera, an Apple Powerbook and a pcmcia card reader. Just experienced exactly the same problem as above. The reader can see the pictures on the card and successfully transfer them to the hard drive. The problem is that after that the camera cannot see the card. "Card Error" I've had this problem before with two other Olympus cameras and sent them back to Olympus for repair. They have repaired the problem but never given an explanation as to why this happens. I've only bought Olympus cameras, but now I'm thinking about switching. As an alternative thought, I've decided to buy only 16 MB cards since they are cheaper and I won't suffer so much when I lose a 64MB or 128MB card. Wish somebody had a real answer for this problem or knew of a software fix that could reformat a card so that the camera could see it again. -- Chod Lang (azores@blast.net), February 01, 2003. I have had a very similar problem with a 64MB SM card and an Olympus E20. I had an old computer running Windows ME with a USB card reader. I could read and write to the card in the comoputer with no problem I could also format it and the camera would recognise the format. I changed my computer to a Pentium 4 machine running XP, with a 6 in 1 card reader built in. I shot some pictures, transferred them
