Just make sure you let the CAMERA format the drive -- don't do it in winduds. You could make it
invisible to the camera in FAT32, and/or worse yet, invisible to the camera and the Mac.
I've had it happen on flash drives, and just the other day I got a USB reader from Meritline, and it made
all the deleted photos reappear, just by plugging it in.
When I told iPhoto to go ahead and remove them, the microSD card would not show up on the phone.
After about 20 insertion/removal actions - it finally showed, and the deleted files were now visible
on the phone. I let the phone reformat the card to its preferences.
Had a similar instance with a Nikon 800 about 5 years ago. Definitely irksome when it happens and
you have to waste a lot of time with something just to get it back to "blank."
