Re: Secure Digital (SD) Card reports too low a memory

In DiskManager, Rclick on the 1G partition, there should be a choice of
"delete partition"...
Then, again Rclick, and "create partition", make it 2G (it should give the
full card as default)

Maybe also format, but remeber to make it FAT, not FAT32 or NTFS..



If it doesn't work, it might be that the card can't hold a _single_ 2G
partition...
And I don't think the camera does know how to use 2 partitions...
