Just purchased a small digital photo frame to display some of our holiday pictures. But struggled for an hour or so trying to get my images on to the SD Card. At first I thought perhaps a faulty card, I got some way through the copying then it jus stopped. Perhaps a faulty memory writer/reader , it is a new PC after all.
No , none of these. The card was formatted by default as FAT. A 512 file limit for those of us who can’t remember. Formatted with FAT32 and all was well
Still it caught me out and bet others too. Normally you insert into say a camera and device gets formatted with the system of choice. By I just had a fresh device and hadn’t given the format a second glance. Don’t say you’ve not been warned.
