I bought a used Kodak camera I put a brand new sd card in. And it says it needs to be formatted? Why do I need to format a b5a

Formatting sd card

New cards usually do need formatting, if I recall. There should be an option in the camera's menu.

It's also possible that the card came formatted for something that the camera doesn't understand. Have the camera format the drive and see if the PC can read it.
