SD Card Error help

[Tenn.Guy]

A friend bought a new Cuddeback Seen? Anyways he didnt think it worked, so I looked it over and it took pictures. I was able to pull them up with the SD card on my work laptop but on his Camera at home it tells him Pic Error?

How do you fix that? Its a 8gb card, but I am sure his personal camera would work with it?

The camera at home is looking for the pictures to be in location X. However, the Cuddeback puts pictures in location Y.

Make the camera look where the pictures is, all will be well.

If that don't fix it please report back.

gotcha , I get back with him and have him bring me both to test out.

Thanks!

Depending on his "personal camera at home" make and model it could read a different "sd card language" than the CuddeJunk writes it in. There is over 450 different codes and formats it can be written in. As a general rule hand held cameras will not read pictures written to a card from a commercial trail cam. Hope this makes sense....

It does, thanks for the additional info. I guess I have been lucky mine has always worked. I'll check more into his.

Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Cuddeback.
An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure.

How do you fix that?

Start with a 16 ounce (or heavier) hammer.
Place Cuddeback on flat concrete surface.
Deliver several solid blows.
Remove the remaining trash and clean your work area.

This should prevent any farther problems.

lol well my opinion was asked ahead of time. I will now recommend a hammer to simplify the fix.

You need to format the card to the camera, I think Jim was getting at that.
I have run into this problem many times with homebrews.
