Since I was playing with my EtherShield SD, I figured I’d load up the example sketch “CardInfo” in the SD folder. I popped in the microSD card from my digital camera, and it started listing the files on my card (but did not recognize the full 16GB partition).
Initializing SD card…Wiring is correct and a card is present.

SD card test
This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the’
SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card.
Very useful for testing a card when you’re not sure whether its working or not.
The circuit:
* SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI – pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
** MISO – pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
** CLK – pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
** CS – depends on your SD card shield or module.
Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples
