I have heard, never seen but heard, of cameras that disable
advanced features if you don't use the cameras brand of memory.

The manual for my Olympus has states that restriction; the card must
be formatted in the camera or be Olympus-branded for panorama shots.
YMMV

Sometimes some camera features (like panorama) are available only if the
card was formatted by the camera.

But there are a limited number of read write cycles on these cards.
Reformatting every time may cut the life of the card.

If you format the card with a computer, it just gives you the empty drive. If
you format it with the camera, the format process adds the folder into which
the picture files and other stuff are placed. If you put a "blank" card into a
camera, it recognizes that the folders are missing and creat

does a ms format verify the memory perfect when it is to be reformated to an
olympus format? it has been my experience that some cards do not like some ms
formats, refuse that format, and show error.
I'm the perfect customer because I know formatting doesn't verify it will
work next time you write to it. It just verifies it's working THIS time.

I would presume the nine(9) different cards they read are the nine(9) most
common.
both of mine read "XD" which are not very common. they are from an olympus
camera. they pop up as a separate drive, and live just like a separate drive.
although I may format the thing to some microsoft format,
SD, CF, Smartmedia, MS pro, xD

I'll say this more plainly: save your valuable
pictures, regardless of whether your card is full or
not, they are more important than anything. To do so,
you have to download. Any interaction between card

different planes here - shoul
