what the hell is going on with this picture? Every 5-10 are like this and then when I go to edit the RAW in lightroom, the raw does this. What the hell is going on????

:help::help:

I really hope it is not my camera as I cant afford to fix it. Oh and are my pictures ****ed or can i get them back?
 
corrupt CF card?
 
Geez matt only seen this once but it wasnt good hope it turns out ok for you thouh mate
 
Thank god and ARSE!! GLad it is not my camera but ****ed off my biggest card is bolloxed. It is a sandisk, arent they meant to be excellent?
 
You haven't been testing how strong they are by driving over them have you?!
 
Do you format the card before you use it or just delete the old images? Try formatting the card in camera, it might help.
 
Try formatting the card, look in camera menu for format. If still the same, 2 options, use a different card (Obvious) if still does it try it in Jpeg, if ok in Jpeg then suspect camera malfunction.

Format the card everytime since the first day I got the camera. Not like this on the LCD, perfectly fine on the LCD. They are also perfectly fine in lightroom till I click on them. I darent format the card yet as that means I will have no pictures if I lose this lot.....

Well you don't have many choices Matt, if you have the RAW files, then, well thats that, they are not going to get any better by leaving them on the card !

Take a hit, format the card, see what happens, try another card.


Mate, if thats how the image has been recorded then there is very little you can do about it !
 
How are you trabnsferring the pictures tot he PC?

It may be your USB lead or card reader - I've seen something similar before.
 
try opening image in another program?

also, is that opened from card or copied from card to pc, then opened?
 
Download to a different computer. If similar, bite tongue and continue with life.

(Sometimes it sucks.)

But Matt says on the chimping ,it is ok.
Only when in PC does it happen.??:shrug:

Chimping looks at the low res preview of the main file. The main file will be corrupted.And although you can extract the preview, it will be tiny px size.
 
I've never been convinced that Sandisk are as bomb proof over cheap cards. Faster maybe, but not immune to corruption.

I've had a few raws corrupted like this myself. There has been some discussion that usb transfers are responsible. Anyway, no help to you. With some of mine though I have had some success by converting them to DNG using the Adobe DNG converter in my case ( I found the Lightroom conversion so slow for big batch conversions). Somehow it has fixed the corruption in some of them.
 
I've always suffered problems with sandisk. I use Lexar 100% of the time now. I've always wondered if Nikons just don't like sandisk cards tbh.
 
has it screwed up some good keepers matt? (not that that is meant to sound the way it does, but you know what i mean)
 
Download the images again using a card reader.
 
Tried to re-import, not working. Not using the card as the computer just crashes. Will just have to use my other cards. 8gb of memory down the drain. arse.

I've always used sandisk cards in my nikons from a D50-D80-D300 and never had any problems with them.
 
I would try the rescue pro that comes with the card?

I doubt that will help as it appears the image has saved corrupted to the card :(
 
Do you use a card reader to transfer your photos to computer? I had the same problem your getting and it was because on of the pins in the reader had bent out of place and wasnt connecting into the Cf card. Have a look in the reader, see if you can see any bent pins.
 
Matt Sayle said:
Yeah, bloody tonnes. Ah well. You live and learn. Not using that card again.....

Reformat the card in camera two or three times and try using it again, that's what I had to do last week. In my case I think I'd bent a pin in the card reader as two cards from two different cameras were involved :bang:

As you're using a 400D I'd also have a wee look at the pins in the card slot of the camera, it's awful easy to bend them. If you have bent one whatever you do do not try and straighten it yourself - if you break a pin in one of those it can end up shorting the camera out :(

Oh God yes. Bought a 400D second hand and my son managed this within a week. £150 for a new mainboard replacement. :( Apparently it's a well known fault as it's easy-ish to misalign the card slightly as you put it in, especially if you rush. Since it came back from repair from Colchester cameras it seems a lot more positive when removing/fitting the card.

I've been trying to work out what the car is? TVR Tuscan challenge?
