I just got an R-d1 and have been enjoying it. However, I seem to have a problem with it jamming with half a photo. I am attaching a sample. After I take about 20 photos it takes one like this and then scrambles the rest of the photos it takes. I can see the photo on the camera but the file is unreadable in capture one and lightroom. Does anyone else have a problem like this? I am trying to decide if its the camera the card reader or the card.

Just a hunch, but is your card ok? I had a similar issue on a Canon DSLR and it turned out to be a bad flash card.
 
I do not know what it is. I just started trying to test it with a new card. Of course the error happened right when I was taking the best shots. This has happened at least two times. I forwarded one of the files to capture one and they told me the file was corrupted but could not have been done by capture one. So it either the card, the reader or the camera. I am hoping for the card.

Anyone else have this problem?
 
Do you see this on the LCD or only on the computer screen?

Might be your graphic software, not your camera.

1) Make sure the camera battery is good. Try a new one. It might be on it's last legs.

2) Change the memory card.

3) Reset the menu.

If you're REALLY brave, take the bottom plate off the camera and look for a tiny little lithium battery with two leads attached wired to the camera. Take a paper clip and short the leads for about 5 seconds (with the battery out of the camera).

That will reboot the camera and reset everything.
 
Bet it's the card. I have a Maxxum 5D DSLR and had all kinds of strange problems kinda like that with one card but not with another.
 
Don't just forget about the card reader! Just to be safe, try with a different card reader as well. Oh, and only format in-camera, please.

On this last step does the battery come out of a holder and you are shorting out any residual charge or are you shorting out the battery itself? If the latter, aren't you risking ruining the battery?
 
I had a similar problem with a xD card. Turned out to due to the card reader. It corrupted some of the files every time it read them from my xD card. When I got a new card reader with better firmware, the problem disappeared.
