PMW-EX3 extrememory SDHC 32GB ?

[kbatman99]

Hello !
I got two 32 GB extrememory SDHC performance class 6 cards.
When I input it into the camera it says " Media needs to be formated"
And When I try to format it the camera comes with an error : "Cannot be formated"
and
"media needs to be restored"
I dont know what to do.
Are the extrememory cards not compatible ?
Please help me !

are the cards write-protect switch on by any chance? and make sure to put the sd cards in the sd reader, then the sd reader into the camera. Also, try power cycling the camera.

If all that fails, put the sd cards in your computer and format them to fat32. (in "my computer" right click on the memory card and hit format, then select fat32)

if ALL that fails, then the ex3 probably doesn't like your card reader / sd cards.

Lemme know how it goes

@Fohdeesha :

Thank you for your reply.
- the reader is tested with other 8 gb cards
- I formated the card in my computer with fat32
nothing helped.

Is the brand "Extreme Memory"? Use only Transcend or SanDisk SDHC cards?
