SD Memory card sends " card full" message and doens't export the file.

[Ralph Toporoff]

I’ve tried three different SD memory cards (2GIG and 4GIG, SanDisk and Lexor) in my RED ONE and when I go to export the look I get a message in my monitor that the card is full and try again. I’ve formatted all cards on My Mac using MS-DOS (FAT) and can see no files listed after formatting. There doesn’t seem to be any way of formatting the SD card directly through the camera. I do get a SD CARD icon on my monitor screen when I insert the card in the camera but even after the formatting I still get the same message about a full disk and no export of look. Anything I’m missing here?

Try using a 1GB SD card.

If I remember correctly, 2GB and 4GB SD cards are not compatible.
(At least as of Build 31)

If Brian is right, you could try formatting the card with two partitions - the first being less than or equal to 1GB.

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try

Thank you Brian and Eric. Your suggestions worked on both counts. It does have to be a 1GIG card and I did partition my 2 GIG card into two, one being exactly 1 GIG. I'm surprised this information was not in the manual. Appreciate you input.
