Greetings, I'm hoping someone can help me with a strange memory card issue I'm having with my recently purchased Coolpix A1000.
I've run into an issue where I can no longer create photos on the memory card if I choose the in-camera options of either "Erase all images" or "Format Card." If I attempt to take photos are using either of this functions on the camera, I receive a message of "memory contains no images" when trying to view the photos.
I then need to reformat the card through Windows to be able to use the card properly again. It seems that I can delete images individually on the camera or through Windows without any problem, but using these in-camera functions to delete all images makes the card unusable.
This is happening on two new memory cards purchased for the camera: SanDisk Extreme PO and and SanDisk Extreme (both 128GB). Both are recommended for the camera and approved as "SDXC" cards. Interestingly, when I use the card that came with the camera (SanDisk Extreme 16GB (SDHC)) I do not have this error at all. The larger capacity cards are exFAT while the smaller 16GB card is FAT32. I don't know if this makes a difference.
My understanding is that using the built in "format card" option is the best way to clear the memory card, but on the larger capacity cards it just makes them unusable.
I have upgraded the firmware to the latest v1.2.
Any advice on this problem would be much appreciated. Thanks!
