I have couple of moultries game cams
That didn't like 32 GB SD cards
I changed them out for 16 GB SD cards
And it worked fine.
For what ever reason the bios in the game cam could not recognize the bigger SD cards.
Now in a computer bios there is a much larger capicity. It should have no problem
Formating 32 GB card or larger.
The older computers could not utilize
A large hard drive . To to use it it had to be partition to smaller size
Old school, I had programs that would do that, and as well as copy and mirror a whole drive for a back up. Ghost for Linux, and symantics ghost.
These game cams are very basic.
It's just a smart camera.
It is possible the camera damaged the SD card. Or it was mis handle by someone
At the store, or it could be defective.
