Started up my brand new A85 with the CF card that came in the box and it reported a memory card error, formatting causes the camera to shut down with "E50" displayed on the screen.
I bought another CF card but the same problem still happens. Format menu indicates both cards have 3.8MB capacity (supplied is 32, other one is 12:cool:.
Pretty sure I've been sent a duff camera, but is there a chance I'm doing something clueless? I've read the "read me first" and sections about formatting CF cards in the manual but it doesn't suggest anything that I've done wrong. Also tried a reset by holding down the menu button for 5 seconds - doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks,
Ian
