The five cameras that I have had that used SD cards didnot need a formatting of the card before using it in the cameras.

One of these cars will not be recognized in a couple of USB card holders that I have tried and it will not be recognized by the built in SD card reader in my stationary computer but I can read the card through the camera's USB connection so I'm not worrying about it.

How do you clean a virus out of a digital camera?

The virus is probably not in the camera but in the memory card. If your camera came with a USB cable, plug the camera in the computer using the USB cable and go to my computer. Right click on the correct drive and right click. Find Format... and click it. Then click start. Also another way is going to the camera settings and find the format button. (this doesn't always work) Also make sure there is nothing in the camera.


If I am moving a micro SD card from a blackberry to a camera do I format it or just delete everything via my computer and if I am to format it do I do it via my computer or the phone or the camera?

If the SD card can fit into the two things, you shouldn't need to format or delete anything. You should be able to move it between the two and keep all the same pictures.


Can you use same SD memory card between two cameras?

If both cameras call for SD memory, then you can. But if the cameras are not the same model or brand, there is no guarantee that you will be able to see or keep what was on the card when it was in the other camera. The other camera may even tell you to format the card again. So before moving the card to another camera or gadget for the first time, it would be wise to move or copy any important photos from the card to your PC or storage device.
