If the error message [Card Error] is displayed when an SD memory
card is loaded into the camera or the card has been used with a
computer or other digital camera, you must format the card with this
camera prior to use.
Formatting is the process of preparing a card so image data can be
written on it.

turning the power off, load an SD memory card and repeat the
formatting process again.
