Is the SD Card formatted in FAT32 format?

The camera has a formatting utility for the SD chip that is supposed to be done. &nbsp;I formatted both chips but I.did not get different results.

Turns out Best Buy says the SD slot is bad, so they are replacing it with a new Camera.<br />

&quot;If this is a new camera? if so, then return it under warranty&quot;. = (so they are replacing it with a new Camera.)<br />
<br />
&quot;It may have bad contacts to the SD card (new or not)&quot; =( Best Buy says the SD slot is bad.)<br />

I have a nikon coolpix s3000 that is saving pictures locally to the camera's on board memory. &nbsp;No matter what setting I choose, including formatting the chip as the instructions state. &nbsp;I even took the 2 gb chip and then replaced it with another 4gb chip. &nbsp;That does not work either. &nbsp;Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that encodes digital images and videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction. Most cameras sold today are digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles. Digital and film cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.  Digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after being recorded, and store and delete images from memory. Many digital cameras can also record moving videos with sound. Some digital cameras can crop and stitch pictures and perform other elementary image editing.

Digital Cameras / Camcorders

Photo and imaging software is used to edit and compose raster images; Adobe Photoshop dominates the market. Common actions include cropping, slicing, retouching, color replacement, masking and erasing. Other programs include GIMP, Serif PhotoPlus, Pixlr, PhotoScape, Picasa and IrfanView.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
