[Leica] SD Card for M Mono Type 1

[Frank Filippone]

Something is corrupted on your card.  (DUH!)

Remove card from camera and format it on a computer..... you need to 
format it in FAT32...... NOT NTFS!!!

Then try it again in your camera, formatting it IN CAMERA first.....  
That SHOULD work.....

If not, throw out card..... do not use it for anything..... If it works, 
throw out card, it has had one fault, and another is right around the 
corner...THROW IT OUT.

Conclusion is that once a card fails once, get rid of it!!  They are not 
costly enough to take a chance on.

I use Sandisk Extreme Plus cards.  I have 16,32,64,128 and 256GB cards.  
They all work in my MM and M9.  ( and M240 and Nikon D7100, Sony A7, 
A7ii, and A7rii, and in an adapter for use in my Leaf Hassy back).

Amazon has 64GB cards for $20 each..... They are the 100% dependable 
option.  And cheap.  Speed is 95 or 170 mbps.   Makes no 
difference.....  The noted speed is the READ speed.  Write speeds are 
95MBPS or higher.....  Get the AMAZON supplied cards, not someone else 
as the seller.... ( I could go into detail, but will not. )

Note: In the old days, the cameras were designed "wrongly" and therefore 
the speed of the card was critical.  The cards too were designed to work 
"wrongly".  All that is now standardized.
