Problem with Card Access

bimon — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 10:53:24 GMT

Hello all

I'm using a ScanDisk 32GB CF for my 7D. I received such a info "Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change the card or format card with camera" message. I formatted the card after receiving the message the first time before my doughter's party and took around 100 pictures and all seemed fine. When turned on for the second game, I received the same error message! From what I have read, I'll loose all the images if I reformat the card again. Am I doing something wrong, should I change card?
I also read on http://360camerasforums.com/index.php?/forum/25-apps-software-editing/ but couldn't find info. k

"Am I doing something wrong, should I change card?"

Probably not but, yes, you should not trust that CF card any longer. Always format the CF card with the camera you intend on using it with. Never a computer or different camera.

If you can not access the CF card, put it into your computer card reader. D/L a recovery program, Sandisk has an excellent one. See if it can retrieve your photos.

32 GB is pretty big. I limit my CF cards to 16 GB and change them more often. I even use 8 GB a lot. It spreads out you risk of a bad card.
