SD card serious problem!

All good idea's but the issue is that the card can't be read by the reader or desktop. I sent it to 2 recovery firms and no good result. I didn't expect any result anyway, I have enough experience to know when to let things go....

so maybe I'll sell my R-D1s to the client and they can view the images on the screen....hmmmmm not a bad idea....later all....thanks for the concern....don

If you plan to do any more weddings, selling the camera's probably a good idea. In spite of what some people on this forum and on the M8 forum have said, nowadays trying to do a wedding with a rangefinder is like trying to run the Indianapolis 500 in a model A. The rangefinder is superb on the street, but it's not what any sane professional is going to use when he can't re-shoot the shoot.
 
Put the card back in the R-D1, REFORMAT it once, using the menu in the camera (quick format), then take the card out of the camera and put it in the card reader.

It will mount on the Mac desktop, and then you will be able to recover the files with EXIF Untrasher.

You probably have corrupted headers, and reformatting will not destroy the files, it will simply rewrite the file partition on the card.
 
PS: Usually Fred is dead on correct with 99.99% of what he posts, but his ideas about not formatting SD cards in-camera are screwy this time.

The camera can't write to the card. The last file is corrupted. It will view the images but not let anything else happen to them......

I always used RF for all my professional shoots. I always will...so I guess I join the inSANE shooters group.

Besides the advantages of using a RF far outweigh the disadvantages, that come with the SLR.......
 
I have not been around RFF long, but I have been shooting digital for a while with Nikon products ...... At Nikon school, the teachers strongly recomended formatting w/ camera once the images safely off card and backed up.

I do this, regularly, and never have lost a card in many 10's of thousand of ever improving snap shots.

Try putting it in a card reader, then try the Mac Disk Utility. See if it recognizes the card as an unformatted partition and re-format as a dos partition. It may "see" the card even if it doesn't mount on the desktop.

It's illogical. Your files are there. The camera can read them. They can be extracted off the card.

(try putting the card in ANOTHER digital camera and see if the other camera can format it or read the files. in that case, copy the files with the USB cord from the other digital camera. in fact, try this first.)
 
Hi I work in a photo retail store and I have seen my share of Sandisk
card issues. Usually cause people fill there cards when shooting. A recent
digital class I took suggested never fill your card completely. For the record.
Anyways I have two recovery softwares and usually one of them recognizes
the card enough to recover the files. One of them is called Rescue Pro and
I can't remember the name of the other one. They work Great. hope this helps.
