The reason: They are 32 bit format and Fuji S2's only accept 16 bit format cards of less than 2GB in size.
The Solution:
Three things to be aware of with this solution:
- Any existing data on the card could get wiped off.
- You will lose (for now) 2GB of your card (It's hidden as a second partition.)
- I'm assuming you're using Windows on your PC.
The fix:
- Download free from the internet (Google to find it) the following Open-Source (Free) Partition software and install it: 'MiniTool Partition Wizard Home'
- Stick the card into a USB Card-reader attached to your PC
- Open the software above
- Select your card from the drives shown
- Click on 'Format Partition' (on the left menu)
- Under the 'File System' menu select 'Fat16' then click OK
- Click 'Apply' (top left)
- Now select 'Move/Resize Partition' (on the left menu)
- Under 'Partition Size' type in '2000'
- Click 'OK'
- Click 'Apply' (top left)
- Close the software
- Take the card out and put it back in your camera
- Voila! It should now work.
Job done.
