Do you have any other cards? Do they work ok?

Does your Transcend card work ok in other devices? Does it workin your computer?

How is the card formatted? It will need to be FAT32, and if you had it formatted as something like NTFS, the camera won't be able to use it.

You may want to try reformatting it as FAT32 using Windows if you have a card reader. Just go to "My Computer", right click on the card and select Format. Then, make sure to select FAT32 from the drop down list of file system types you'll see. Then, reformat it using the camera's menu choice for format before using it again.

You may also want to try this utility. You'll see a download button at the bottom of the page:
