probert Posted July 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have worked with two different M10 bodies this year and in both cases I found some corrupt files between my photos. It is something I have never experienced from any other digital camera I worked with (including the M240, M246, Fujis, Sonys and Nikons). The local Leica store and I are trying to figure out what it is that goes wrong here. I'm attaching a sample file. This happens on average once per 300 to 400 shots. The problem is not visible on the camera monitor, because the embedded jpg image is okay. It is only when you open the DNG file that you find this incomplete image. The first time I saw this, I placed a new card in the camera, but it still happened. And now I see it happening in a second M10 camera. As far as I can tell it is not a problem with the card. It is also not caused by a hard disk problem on my Mac, because I've checked the file on several computers. It is undoubtedly something that happens in the camera. What I do know is that it is not caused by switching off the camera when it is still writing. My question is: has anyone else experienced this? Welcome, dear visitor!

LBJ2 Posted July 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2018 What version firmware are you running on the M10 and what brand SD cards are you using ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 11, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 11, 2018 If it was on two different bodies, it is unlikely to be the camera either. Have you used these cards in other cameras? Run them through SDFormatter overwrite in any case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame-it Posted July 11, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 11, 2018 was the same card used on both cameras ? looks like a corrupted sector on the card Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted July 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 11, 2018 The problem shown above is typical for a corrupted memory card. There also might be a hardware defect in the data path, such as the electric contacts in the camera's card slot ... or in the card reader's cord or the USB socket (which would mean the data corruption might happen not in the camera). Or whatever. But the first suspect, in my opinion, would be the memory card itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
probert Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted July 11, 2018 My first suspect was the card also, so I bought a new one when I first spotted the problem (this was with the first body). It happened with the new card also. Both were Lexar Premium 64gb cards. I had used the first card without problems on other cameras. The fact that it happened on both cameras makes it highly unlikely that it is a camera problem, unless ten people in this forum come forward because they recognize it. My bet is also on the cards, but the fact that one was new and both were formatted in the camera makes it all very confusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formatted in the same camera? NB: Try another card from another label Edited July 11, 2018 by cp995 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frame-it Posted July 11, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) try a sandisk card 32GB 95mb/s...use sd formatter first..then format in the camera so it creates the correct folder structure Edited July 11, 2018 by frame-it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
probert Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share #9 Posted July 11, 2018 I'll try that. I have some heavy shooting coming up later this week, so if that rhythm of once every 300 to 400 shots continues it should happen again shortly. Thanks for all your responses. I'll keep you posted.

FIRMWARE (2.4.5.0) LEICA M10 Also, check to make sure you are using the latest M10 firmware. Early M10 firmware had problems with various SD cards. So far I have had good luck with the Sandisk cards too running latest M10 firmware. I use SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SDXC Flash Memory Card with up to 95MB/s. Check to make sure the card is authentic from a reputable retail store/shop. Edited July 11, 2018 by LBJ2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted July 11, 2018 Share #11 Posted July 11, 2018 See if the camera can read the corrupted photo. I would also clean the contacts, liberally wet the card copper and slide it in & out of camera. Liberal means wet but not so much fluid gets all over inside of camera. Can an M10 use 64 GB cards? Check instructions. Try another NEW card and format it in the camera before use. Always format in camera it will be used in. Never erase a file or file allocation location algorithm can cause file separation . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted July 19, 2018 Share #12 Posted July 19, 2018 suspect it is the card... just get another and try it out.. I use Sandisk Extreme Pro cards and have had no issues..... yet... Albert Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
