My understanding is this is programmed into the firmware which runs the camera's on-board processors. For example, my Fuji 6900 can only see SM cards up to 128Mb now, which is the max size. If and when the 256Mb cards get released, I'll not be able to use them as my camera is limited by its on-board board software. Some cameras do have upgradeable firmware and can get around this limitation. With this camera, as it sounds quite entry level to only suppliy a 2Mb card, there is probalby no upgrade or way around this limit, if it truly exists. Have you tried borrowing say an 8 or 16Mb card and popping in the camera to see if it works? John - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
