misha Posted January 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) hi guys, I am getting this message even though neither of my cards (sandisk and transend) are locked. I tried removing the battery, cards, waiting, turning camera off and on, mingling and waiting. Finally it worked and camera came back to life allowing me to shoot. I am pretty sure its not the cards. my m8 is almost three years old and its the first time something like that happened. I still have 4-5 months of warranty (thanks to the upgrade). I have not come across this problem in this forum. thus far thanks in advance for your advice misha PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISHA FRIEDMAN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 26, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 26, 2010 It has been on the forum before - it turned out then to be caused by dirty/greasy SD card contacts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patackroyd Posted January 26, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 26, 2010 I have had this problem twice The first time it turned out to be a faulty battery even though it appeard to charge ok and looked ok in the display. 12 months later I got it again and it was a faulty charger, on both occasions everything looked ok and it was only because I had 2 chargers that I was able to isolate the problem. If it turns out not to be the sd cards then try the camera with different batteries / chargers Good Luck Pat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
misha Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted February 3, 2010 It has been on the forum before - it turned out then to be caused by dirty/greasy SD card contacts. do you think cleaning them up with lets say compressed air should be enough? thanks misha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted February 3, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 3, 2010 I had something similar recently & solved it by switching the card lock on and off, with come cards you need to watch out for the arrow next to "lock" pointing down. Brilliant design..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant design..... thanks. i tried what you've said with both cards and there does not seem to be a visible pattern. switching the camera on and off or removing the battery seems to do the trick but its quite annoying. Its not something i want to deal with when its -10 outside and little time to make the shot. I think that regardless what happens now, my camera is going back to leica nj (before warranty runs out) next time i am in the states. misha PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISHA FRIEDMAN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
