  “Format Error” with SanDisk Extreme SDHC on HM700

  Posted by Ryan Mast on October 5, 2009 at 3:39 pm

  Hi all,

  Just got a JVC HM700, and I’m trying to use a SanDisk Extreme SDHC 16gig card with it. When I insert it, the camera says “Formatting Required”, but when I format the card, it says “Format Error!”

  Can’t find anything in the manual for that error, and haven’t found anything online yet. What’s wrong?

  Is it a class 6 card? The camera requires class 6 or higher.
  Thanks
  Jon

  The SanDisk Extreme cards I got were class 10, and apparently my camera shipped with the old firmware (SPL1030 V0107). Had to get a class 6 card to load the firmware update. It’s at V0301 now, and the class 10 cards work fine…
