pwsmith Posted June 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just received a new (used) XV. Seems to be working fine except that the counter in the lower left of the window that informs how many images remain on the sd card is malfunctioning. It will not reset when a new card is installed. It also will not change if I select a different RAW/JP combination. At the present time it says I have 60 remaining and will move down as I take a shot. But it won't reset or vary if I change a card or setting. Nothing I can think of doing seems to affect this, including updating the firmware from 1.0 to 1.1. Anyone experience this or have any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwsmith Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share #2 Posted June 22, 2018 I should have also said that I have used two different type of sd cards - SanDisk Ultra and SanDisk Extreme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted June 22, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2018 It could be dirty card or camera contacts. Try cleaning carefully. Also consider a factory reset which should give you a clean start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would second David's suggestion and add buy a new sd card and format it in the camera Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwsmith Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted June 22, 2018 Thanks David and Chicago. Have used a couple of different cards, one of which is new. Cards are fine; they work in other cameras. Did the factory reset. No change. Don't think it's the card contacts within the camera as the camera is recording new photos just fine. Not sure how to clean the contacts anyway - pretty tight in there. The counter itself is misbehaving - its goes down when I take a shot but not up when I empty the card or put a new one in or change the setting to shoot jpeg only. It currently shows 60 shots remaining. I'll shoot down to zero and see if it resets itself but I'm not confident. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted June 22, 2018 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2018 I give my card chamber a quick blast or two of air at home when returning a copied card to camera. Dust and particles can build up in the slot over time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dau Posted June 22, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Some computers do not remove pictures from the card when you delete them. Pictures are deleted only when you empty the trash can. This could account for the counter not increasing after removing pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
