Continues to format SD cards repeatedly, saying it needs to be formated after each formatting.

Lillie Irene seelye, try a different SD card.C-, M-, V-, and Z-series cameras accept SD and SDHC Cards. SD/SDHC Card Sizes KODAK recommends use of a KODAK SD Cards (up to 2 GB) and KODAK SDHC Cards (up to 8 GB). Stick with the 2GB cards If that still does not work, you may have to disassemble your camera and check the SD card reader.

Use a 2GB card or smaller. I have bought 2GB cards that were really mismarked 4GB cards. They did not work.
