Did a bit of a walkabout yesterday and took about twenty pictures. When I went to upload them via a card reader all but one of the images were corrupt and could not be opened.
Previously the images showed up just fine on the camera display. I removed the card from the reader and tried it in the camera again and the images were unreadable in the camera as well.
As a general rule I reformat the card in camera before beginning any new shooting. I did notice that one image from the prior shoot had remained on the card. It was the only one that was not corrupt.
I reformatted the card again in camera, took some test shots and all is back to normal. Anyone heard of this happening?
CF CARD: Lexar 2GB 80X Pro
Camera: Canon 5D
No physical damage to card or camera, neither have been dropped etc.
The only thing I can think of is since getting the new Mac I'm not used to undocking the card reader before re inserting another card. Could that be where the file corruption is happening??
Looking forward to any comments
Thanks
