ed_baumeister Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Shooting last night with my 1D Mark II, I switched to the SD card after filling the CF card. I filled the SD card, and chimping indicated everything was fine. But when I downloaded them, I discovered that nearly half of the images on the SD card could not be opened, not by Windows, not by Adobe Bridge or Photoshop. I tried different methods of downloading, on different computers even, but still the same problem. Popped into the camera, the card reveals the images the computers cannot open. The card is a new (first use) San Disk 2 GB card, not formatted beforehand. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_chappell Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Since the camera can apparently find the images on the SD card, did you try downloading directly from the camera to the computer, via firewire or usb? Or, can you copy from the SD to the CF card within the camera (I have a Mk. II but have never used anything but a CF card...)? How come you didn't format the card in the camera before use? I think that's highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauh44 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Ed, Sorry to hear about your troubles. I suspect your card will be fine after formatting it in the camera. It's always a good idea to format a new card before using it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstrutz Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Sounds like it's time to get one of those file recovery programs for flash cards. You might want to go to convar.de and download a free copy of PC Inspector Smart Recovery. It's worked several times for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
