I recently got an old Lumix digital camera that only accepts SD cards up to 32GB, but I bought a 64GB SD card. Is there a way to resize or reformat the SD card, so it works with my camera, like using partitions or some other method? I also have an SD card adapter, so I'm wondering if that helps in this situation.

You might have some luck formatting the card into two smaller partitions, but I'm not sure if your camera will recognize them. It could be worth a try!
Your camera should ideally handle the formatting for you. However, if it doesn’t, you can use a command like Diskpart (make sure to back up any data because it will wipe your card). Here’s a quick guide:
```
diskpart
list disk
select disk X (replace X with your card's ID)
clean
create partition primary size=32000
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit
```
This way, you can create a 32GB partition on your 64GB card!
Thanks for the tip! Quick question though: can I do this on a MacBook or is a PC better for this kind of task? Can I just plug in the adapter with the SD card inside?
