Response to "DON'T FORMAT" error with SD cards on DiMAGE G500

 

I got the same message with my Dimage 400. I could not access my SD card anymore (neither in the camera, nor on my PC). I searched the net for possible solutions and this is how I found this forum.

I believe that if you don't have any photos to save from the card, then formatting it (even though I was also getting the message "Don't format") would make it work.
However, I had some photos that I wanted to save, so what finally worked for me was a free image recovery program I found on the net (Art Plus Digital Photo recovery 3.0, http://www.artplus.hr/adapps/eng/dpr.htm).
It recovered the photos.

After that I formatted the SD card in the camera and it worked fine after that.
I don't know if this program could recover the photos even after you format the card.

I hope this helps anyone in the same situation.
All the best.
