Strange corruption of files from FX9 - see image


Recommended Posts

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.

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?
