<p>This may not be helpful, but I concur with everything above. She's hiding something, and you're going to need to be fairly direct, like approaching her in person. </p>

<p>Regarding the "backup camera"....to me that's a given.</p> <p>Thanks for all the info....it was truly helpful.</p> <p>BTW, the same evening I shot mine, a photographer in my area experienced a smash&grab, and all cameras/memory cards were taken!!! Note to self: keep everything on you or have a guard by the car!</p>

<p>I signed in, and was going to post nearly exactly what is said above!!!! The meeting first. Goes well, the bag-carrying follows. Goes well, the low-budget or practice session. Goes well, 2nd shooting starts....and the big thing is are they willing to invest in the essential gear? That's a qualifier that will disqualify anyone who isn't serious.</p>

<p>I hate when folks don't come back with the "after", so here it is.<br> This started out as an OMG moment, as a card that just got formatted died. I realized by the number of images on the top of the camera that something was way off, and the reality was that the card wasn't being read at all! Thus, the purchase, as advised, was two identical pro san disc cards (64 gig). The slot was backup, and I had no issues (yes to the official shooter question) writing to two Raw cards. It's truly amazing what today's technology can do!<br> The number at the top at the beginning said I had 1,200 images available, which seemed low. I am still processing / downloading, but I think I shot about 1,000, and my number was still 465 when I stopped. So, something's up with the calculation which can lead to panic. <br> All's well though! Thanks!</p>

<p>I appreciate your responses, so much. Thank you.<br> I did figure out the card just died. The 563 was the camera only recognizing the 32 gig I had in there in the backup slot. The number did not change when the card was in or out! Good thing I realized it! I got two cards, to shoot the event in Raw to both, with the 32 for emergency overflow.<br /> I will read the above in detail and learn a lot I bet! Thanks, all.</p>

<p>Hi all.<br> I did try looking in the manual, but did not find the answer, and all my friends shoot Canon, so I can't find the answer to :<br> How can I change the size of my Raw files? I have a 64 gig card, and for a wedding I need two cards that will hold enough raw files for the entire thing. Right now, it shows I can only shoot 563! There has to be a way to reduce the size so I can get more out of the card! Helpppp </p>
