MEMORY CARD ISSUE

[LadyTragik]

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? LATELY I'VE BEEN DOING SHOOTS WHERE THE PICS "DISSAPEAR" SOMEWHERE IN MEMORY CARD LAND BUT I CAN'T FIND THEM WHEN I OPEN THEM ON THE COMPUTER AND WHEN I TURN ON MY CAMERA TO VIEW THEM THERE IT SAYS "NO IMAGES FOUND" YET THE SPACE LEFT ON THE CARD STILL LOOKS LIKE THE PICS ARE THERE - THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON MY SanDisk Ultra Flash 2gb & my other one, they are both about 2-3 years old...but i always format before doing a shoot

does anyone know if this is a fault of my camera? or maybe the actual memory cards?

when i open the flash drive this is what pops up:

it's supposed to just have the DCIM folder

i opened the .txt file and this is what it said:

does your camera have any internal memory? might be storing it on there itself, i doubt it though. maybe the flash card has an error on it....run a check disk on it or something.

you should try reformatting your memory card..

 

[LadyTragik]

i do

but i always format before doing a shoot

maybe its the cards itself...you said its 2-3years old....borrow someones mem card n see if it does the same on that one. if not, then its the card

 

[LadyTragik]

i borrowed a friends a couple weeks ago and it did the same thing but it doesnt happen right away, everything erases after i turn the camera off and on a couple times and view them.. sometimes when i load the card to my computer.. its pretty random

Maybe something in your camera that part that transfer the pics to the card?

maybe try taking the battery for a moment and then re-inserting it, and then try. OR get a dry, ear syringe squeeze air into the card's insert slot to remove possible debris on the contacts. see what happens then.
