carstenw Posted August 14, 2007 Share #21 Posted August 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hmm, I have never seen this problem myself, neither with my Ultra II or my Extreme III. I wonder if it is related to the O/S used on the computer you use. I am using a Mac. Are the people having the problem using Macs or Windows computers, or a mix? I know that Windows dumps some files on the card if you do certain actions, like click on an image and see Windows' preview. I wonder if this is related to the errors with the M8.

arthury Posted August 14, 2007 Share #23 Posted August 14, 2007 I had a similar problem with a Sandisk 1gb SD card. I tried to have it formatted on different XP machines, on two different Mac OSX machines, nothing helped. But! I inserted in into my new Vista machine, and Vista identified the problem right away and fixed it in 5 seconds! What was the problem that Vista identified?

tjphoto Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share #24 Posted August 14, 2007 The problem started right after the last firmware update. I am using a mac dual 2.5 non intel. power pc G5. Does leica read these forums? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent10D Posted August 14, 2007 Share #26 Posted August 14, 2007 Just a suggestion. I realize that this might be a problem that Leica needs to address, but in the meantime, if you're having this type of problem try formatting the card on another camera rather than a computer(?). A DSLR, or even a P&S perhaps. This has successfully revived a card I was having a problem with, and once reformatted on the "surrogate" camera I was able to reformat it successfuly on the M8.

Ross Stockwell Posted October 9, 2007 Share #27 Posted October 9, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Interesting I had the 'SD locked card thing' off and on for two weeks in early September - after three months of no problem shooting. Then - everyone of my nearly new cards was deemed as 'locked' by my M8 I seem to have fixed this issue by cleaning the card contacts with iso-alcohol. No problem since. I surmise the SD reader on the M8 is very sensitive and was having trouble making a good contact with the sd card contacts. I have posted this on another thread as well - just can't remember right now I am using Lexar 2 GB 133x cards hope this helps Ross Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted October 10, 2007 Share #28 Posted October 10, 2007 I had a problem with a card doing this once, but have not been able to repeat it. HOWEVER, I have noted that when I have odd problems with the M8, it is usually because the battery display is showing the last segment. Since I have adopted the behavior of changing the battery when the final segment shows, I have had no funny problems with my M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
