| 314976 | 2005-01-17 04:47:00 | Has anyone had any experience with their CF card getting corrupted? Just recently our camera has been displaying a "Corrupted data" error when viewing the first photo taken and it produces interesting photos like this ( . mscandy . orcon . net . nz/pics/stuffed01 . jpg" target="_blank">www . mscandy . orcon . net . nz) and this ( . mscandy . orcon . net . nz/pics/stuffed02 . jpg" target="_blank">www . mscandy . orcon . net . nz) . Strangely enough it is only the first photo but it concerns me that the disease may soon spread to others . Incidentally, the thumbnails views in Windows Explorer show both of those pics as "normal" . Now that is really weird . . . :@@: |

| 314978 | 2005-01-17 05:22:00 | Yes, formatted in the camera several times with no change. The CF card is not removed at all so hasn't been reformatted in Windows. Photos are always transferred via USB cable. PS* Nice fish ... Blue Cod is it? Yup, and it was smaller than the one I caught not long after by a good 30mm. Mine was 535mm. :D |

| 314979 | 2005-01-17 06:40:00 | That is, really weird . The image corruption is a bit of a problem as well :D What's it show when you review the shot, same as once it's downloaded? Have you tried a different card to exclude in camera software? Have you tried a card reader and perhaps different acquiring software (assuming it's not an in camera, then not a card issue)? Is there a firmware update for the camera (assuming it's a camera issue)? Give it a good scrub in windows, you have nothing to lose . Don't take the first shot, start with the 2nd, then you won't have this issue :thumbs: |

| 314981 | 2005-01-17 10:52:00 | The thumbnail is recorded as part of the JPG by the camera so you have 2 images in the one file. Unlikely to be format problem as the 1st image won't be stored in the same location on the CF card each time. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 314982 | 2005-01-17 12:05:00 | Foxy, does the CF card have a warranty? | Strommer (42) | ||
| 314983 | 2005-01-17 12:18:00 | A simple fix (sal.neoburn.net) | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 314984 | 2005-01-17 20:42:00 | What's it show when you review the shot, same as once it's downloaded? When reviewed in the camera it sometimes gives the error that the image is corrupted and sometimes shows the image the same as when it is uploaded to the computer . Have you tried a different card to exclude in camera software? Have you tried a card reader and perhaps different acquiring software (assuming it's not an in camera, then not a card issue)? I don't have a card reader and another card works fine so the main card must be faulty . Give it a good scrub in windows, you have nothing to lose . There is no option to format the card in Windows, it can only be formatted in the camera which I have done several times with no effect . Don't take the first shot, start with the 2nd, then you won't have this issue . Yep, will do that and will have to keep an eye on the other pics in case the disease starts spreading . Might be a good excuse to upgrade to a 256MB card soon, too . :D |
