Need help?
Do you have a question about the DC-T50 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have a 512 mb SD card and it occasionally works, yet the camera will often say "card error"
A "card error" message on a Gateway DC-T50 camera when using a 512 MB SD card could be caused by the following reasons:
1. Card is Locked – If the SD card’s lock switch is set to “LOCK,” the camera cannot save, edit, or erase data. Unlock the card before use.
2. Unsupported Card Type – The camera does not support MultiMedia Cards (MMC), so ensure you are using a compatible SD Memory Card.
3. Unformatted Card – The SD card may need to be formatted before use. Format it using the camera’s setup menu.
4. Corrupt or Damaged Card – If the card is corrupted or physically damaged, the camera may not be able to read it. Try using a different SD card.
5. Incompatible Card Size – While not explicitly stated, older cameras may have limitations on the maximum SD card size they support. If 512 MB exceeds the camera’s limit, try a smaller-capacity card.
To resolve the issue, unlock the card, ensure it is an SD Memory Card, format it in the camera, and try a lower-capacity SD card if necessary.

Compatible replacement batteries include the HQRP Two Batteries designed for the Gateway DC-T50 and possibly other models like the Kastar battery for Pentax D-L12, D-Li2, and D-Li7, though compatibility with the DC-T50 is not explicitly confirmed.
The camera uses SD Memory Cards. The specific type and capacity are not stated, but it is compatible with standard SD memory cards. SD card must be inserted correctly for use.
