EOS 80D Photo Questions

Spigot15 — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 01:52:12 GMT

I am really new to this camera and still learning. I am a little frustrated right now with it though. While on vacation last week to Disney I took about 1000 pictures and some videos. The first over 700 are captured on my memory card just fine. It is the last 300+ that are not opening now for some reason. I had no abnormal indications when I took the pictures. They displayed as if the picture was taken on the screen and the card show that there is data as in Megabytes. But I get a ? where the image should be. I am not sure what to do. I have researched and researched and can't seem to find any answers. Any and all help is appreciated.

Below is a screen capture of what I am seeing.

Do you happen to connect the camera to the PC by any chance? Try reading the card via a card reader and see if you still have the problem. I read that there's a limitation on how many pictures can be downloaded with the camera connecting to the PC. It is highly likely that you are experiencing this.

Thank you for your response. I have been using my SD card reader on my MAC. I can't even see the pics on my camera after a point. That is what is weirdest to me. Like I said, I was able to see them like the wre taken and that data looks like it is there but they won't open.

Thanks for your input.

Then that's a real bummer. I assume that you can't see them outside of Dpp also? It is likely that part of your SD is corrupted. There might be some software or services that might be able to recover them for you. Sorry...can't help anymore than this :(.

Yeah, that is where I am leaning. I appreciate the try though.

That happened to me once. Not at Disney though.

I never did did get the missing images back. I did a deep format on the card and it has worked fine since.

Buy a new card. Try to stick to the major brands, like Lexar and Sandisk. Only use the full size cards, not the microSD cards with adapters.

I have reservations with using cards over 32GB. One, the technology changes. Two, you can easily store more pictures on one card than what you're willing to lose.

Just out of curiosity, mostly. Did you ever format the card in the camera before using it? Have you set the calandar and clock in the camera?

Whatever you do, do not do anything to the SD card. Nothing. Do not even shoot with it anymore. If you do, it may be impossible to recover the photos. Try one of the recover/undelete programs that are out there. Some are free, some are not. But you might even try more than one.

After you try the recovery, never use this SD card again. Buy a new one. Do keep it below 32 GB. 16 GB is better and buy several. Several smaller cards are better then one large one. Using several smaller cards insures you will never loose all of your once in a lifetime shots.

No, I know I messed up there. But it is odd that some 700 pictures were fine. I knew that I should have switched out the card at some point, but I got lazy. I have learned a lesson.

I totaly forgot about trying this. I appreciate the help. Running the program now. Hopefully I'll have good news shortly! But I will make sure not to use this one again and buy some new lower GB data cards. Thanks for the input.

Good luck.

EOS 80D Remote / Bulb / Intervalometer

Escalante101 — Thu, 15 Jun 2017 05:17:42 GMT

This message does not concern an "issue" per se, rather a technical / operational inquiry. I am planning on making my initial forays into astrophotography / light painting and have a couple of questions on the Bulb setting / Intervalometer. I also invested in a Neewer digital timer / remote. If I use the Bulb setting on the and use either the RC-6 or RS-60-E3 remote cable, and I set the Bulb timer, let's say for 25 seconds or so. When I press the button on either of these devices, it will open the shutter. My question is whether when the 25-second time expires, will the camera automatically close the shutter on its own - or - do I have to do that manually. I did order a stopwatch, by the way, in the event the camera will not close the shutter automatically after the expiration of the 25-second time period. Likewise, if I would use the built-in intervalometer and set it for only one photograph and a 25-second exposure length, would the camera shutter automatically close after the 25-second time period passes, or does that have to be done manually? I would really like to be able to run into the picture and light certain areas with a flashlight for light painting purposes, and it would be very helpful to know whether the camera is going to automatically close the shutter on its own using the Bulb setting, or whether I would have to use my stopwatch and run back to the camera to press the button on the remote within my chosen exposure time length. I hope this makes some kind of sense. I was unable to make this determination through reading the Manual or online research.

You'll just confuse yourself and others by posting your inquiry in more than one thread, because an answer posted in one thread doesn't get automatically posted to the other(s). And most of us read all of them anyway.

I was having difficulty determining how to make a new post without it falling under an existing category. I read the "Help" section, but I still found it somewhat confusing that Canon does not include a "New Post" category. I rarely post messages to community message boards in the first place, so that makes me a "sitting duck" for errors.

That is because it is called "new message", not "new post". 8^)

When in, for example, this "EOS" forum it is on the upper left.
