Try formatting the card in a computer. It may be defective. What brand is it? I am not sure what "bou6a" is. Name brands usually have a warranty where you can send in for a free replacement if it is defective.

Hi,

The capacity of your SD Card is too great. It is not supported by the camera.

The Nikon D3000 supports SDHC SD Cards up to a maximum of 32GB. Here is an image taken from the User Guide that details the SD Card capacities that it supports. I don't think that having the correct card manufacturer plays a role any more when buying SD Cards. They also do not specify but if you wish to take videos ensure that you get a Class 10 card (look for the symbol on the card label, usually it is a 10 in a circle or similar)

It was the card itself. Had 64GB card. Replaced it with a 33 GB one and formatted it. Everything is fine now. Thank you very much for your help
