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.
