david-m Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I have a Panasonic DMC FX9 as my carry-around snappy, and about one in 8 times the image does this funny thing (see photo below) AFTER I have transferred it to my computer. If I copy the image over again from the camera it sometimes 'reads' it correctly (that is to say - how it looks on the camera monitor), and sometimes it remains 'corrupted?' I get the same problems on odd frames in the movie mode. The images always look fine on the camera monitor. Could this be solved by using an SD card reader (I have a CF firewire one for my D2X) or is there another issue? Many thanks for any advice.

ken dennis Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If this happens almost consistently at the 8'th frame, I would think it would be in camera, and not your transfer method! If it happens more so with a fast string of shots and or movie mode, it could be a buffer problem, as the buffer fills, it possibly looses data, but a better guess would be your memory card has a bad sector, causing a loss! Have you tried a different card, and or reformatting the one you have? Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-m Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanks Ken, I've tried re-formatting the card, with no better results, but I will now pop in another SD card and do a test with this one. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If formatting in-camera doesn't work, I'd try a card reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
