Same thing happened before shooting another game. No loss to me as it wasn't an image I'd use, and other captures are fine. I'm wondering, though, if the problem is a compact flash card about to go or a in-camera problem. What is the CF card rating, and brand? How many shots are in each of the sequences with a corrupt file, and how many in clean sequences? How old is the CF file? Where in the sequence is the corrupted file; start, middle, or end? I suspect that buffer isn't clearing and writing to the CF card fast enough. It could be the card, it could be the buffer, but my money is on the card. I would conduct an experiment to see if the problem is repeatable. Shoot several 2-3 second Ch bursts or until the buffer stalls, and check. I would be most suspicious of the CF card and the time might have come to retire it. Probably the card. It's a 8gb Pro-Master card. The local camera store sells this brand. I've had it for two years, but the problem is very recent. I have not heard of Pro-Master. According to a long time photo dealer I know, who sells a lot of Pro-master items, Pro-Master is a brand name for a slew of no-name products, many of which are of uncertain quality. He stocks the line to sell to people who want cheap, and have little concern for quality. Surprised that RichA didn't chime in an say that. As to the problem being recent, is it limited to Ch shooting? I've got a 2gb SanDisk Extreme III card that I'll switch to after baseball season. Only one more game in the season. You need to buy a couple of new CF cards. Go to Amazon and order either a SanDisk or Lexar CF card with at least a 160 MB/s write speed. Even that SanDisk Extreme III card is old and with read/write speed of 20MB/s is probably not fast enough to clear the buffer efficiently. I'm a low volume shooter normally, and even in baseball I seldom shoot over 150 (RAW) frames. That's the only time I shoot Ch continuous or Cl continuous. Just buy at least one faster card now. I download after every shoot and format the card in-camera. OK! However, that is not the cause, or a solution for your problem. -- PeterN |

I've had it for two years, but the problem is very recent. I have not heard of Pro-Master. As to the problem being recent, is it limited to Ch shooting? Seems to be. I think the previous incident was in a burst sequence, but I'm not sure. I deleted it. When shooting baseball, I set the camera to Ch for all shots, and quite often shoot multiple frames where I'd really need a single frame. Just the finger a bit too long on the button. I'll start shooting a sequence when I think the ball is nearing the player and hope to get the ball in the frame in the air or in the glove. Usually a 5 or 6 frame burst. https://photos.smugmug.com/2017-Base...4-12-35-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/2017-Base...5-01-62-XL.jpg I've got a 2gb SanDisk Extreme III card that I'll switch to after baseball season.

Even that SanDisk Extreme III card is old and with read/write speed of 20MB/s is probably not fast enough to clear the buffer efficiently. I suppose I should, but the need for burst shooting is about over. I'm a low volume shooter normally, and even in baseball I seldom shoot over 150 (RAW) frames. That's the only time I shoot Ch continuous or Cl continuous. Just buy at least one faster card now. I download after every shoot and format the card in-camera. OK! However, that is not the cause, or a solution for your problem. I understand that. I pointed that out because I thought someone was going to bring up the smaller capacity 2gb card I'm going to switch to. As a low volume shooter, 2gb is quite adequate even though I shoot RAW. I've never come close to filling any card. It's getting to the point where I have to buy a least a 16gb card to get faster write speed. It doesn't hurt to have a larger capacity, but it isn't something I need. The Duck gave you a correct answer. About capacity, I recently grabbed a 1 gig for my D800, and it worked fine. -- PeterN |

When my D300 came, it didn't have a card and I wanted to try the camera right away. The Pro-Master was the only CF card the store sold with as little as 8 gb. That was what? Three years ago? I ordered a second CF card later, but have used the Pro-Master and the San Disk since swapping them out between shoots. Any problems with my images seem to be operator-error until just recently. I can't complain. Good. I have some Pro-Master folding sunshades, and they are fine. In an emergency, I bought a Pro-Master battery charger, and it did not fully charge my batteries. But then, the batteries are 2,900 Miah and could only be charged to about 1,800, which was sufficient for that trip.. -- PeterN |

Here's a fake Ferrari! $63 million!! http://www.cnbc.com/2014/07/31/a-63-...ake-expert-say s.html That's why I only buy Lamborghinis. Lamborghini, the low slung Italian tractor, owned by VW, and managed by the Audi division. You should stick to the other upscale VW, Bugatti. That is truly exotic and in limited production. Ferrari (not to be confused with the F1 team Scuderia Ferrari) is after all a FIAT/Chrysler (FCA) product. However, if you care to be in the realm more exotic and exclusive then you should get on the waiting list for a Koeningsegg, McLaren, or Pagani. -- Regards, Savageduck |
