Camera/CF Error?

Cannon 5d mk III, single capture was saved to the CF card (Lexar Pro 16GB) as two separate images., 3rd image on the card for that day, card is 6 months in use. Both images included with this post. camera is new, sub-2,000 captures.

 

Any thoughts as to a cause?  I have posted the same message to Lexar support to cover my bases. Pimage1.jpgPimage1.jpg

Try the cheap things first.   Reset the camera.  Format the CF card with the camera.  Not a computer, never do that.

Different CF card.

It looks like the problem is with the card try reformattng the card in the camera. Also I would try another CF card (Lexar Pros) are very good cards, and sometimes they do fail
