Answer 3

In the camera there is a format section.  Or plug the memory card into windows.. right click and choose format on the drive.

Answer 4

This happened to me as well.

Unfortunately it means a circuit on the memory card has shorted somehow caused either by dust or moisture. The reason why the camera shuts down is because it has detected short in the memory card.

You can try using some tools to recover memory errors but if the PC is not even detecting the card to begin with, there's nothing you can do.
