Do you have an older camera? It may only support SD cards which are all 2gb or smaller. Anything 4gb or larger is an SDHC card.

Can you use the card after you format it in the computer?

Older cameras do not support HD versions. You need to buy a SD card without HD logo and with 2GB as maximum size. If you go to your camera official website, try to find a firmware for adding SD card version HD support.
