LraStn Posted August 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) A few days ago I put a 128GB Sandisk SD card in my M10, and shot just a few frames on it. The card had hundreds of M10 images on it from a portrait session back in June. Today I shot more images on the card, about 20 or so, and suddenly see a red message in the EVF and on the LCD: SD Card Error. I turned the camera off and back on, instead of the last frames I shot it showed me file names, JPG and DNG since I shoot both simultaneously. Those file names are not readable by Lightroom, Photomechanic, or my computer preview. Adobe Bridge showed a few previews but those files won't open. The portrait session files on the same card from months ago are perfectly fine and readable. The files I shot over the last few days are not, but the names do appear on the card in the Leica folder. Without meaning to, I shot a new photo on the card and it shows up fine. I never formatted the card so that's very perplexing. I've tried other cards and formatted some and shot new photos. Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm very concerned because I remember reading here about people having their M10 files just disappear. These files seem to be inexplicably corrupted. If the problem is this card, why is it showing photos from June, then corrupted files from the last few days, then a good image file again? Any input is welcome. I don't intend to use the card in question, but my confidence in using my M10 for client work (that I can't lose!) is shaken. Welcome, dear visitor!

microview Posted August 2, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 2, 2020 With Q2 I reinserted SD card after transferring photos to computer and had same message. Removed card and tried again. Cleaned card contacts with spectacle-glass tissue and all fine. I know, not the same issue that you had but first time since the days of the M8 that card 'error' warning came up.

paulsydaus Posted August 3, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Don’t know the problem but 128GB is a big card. Do you really want to risk having so many photos on 1 card? Personally I use 32GB Sandisk Extreme Pro cards myself. Look on the bright side, at least the camera told you there was a problem, though not before you lost 20 shots. Try to salvage what you have then format the card on your computer using SD Formatter. After that, re-insert the card into the camera, turn on the camera and format the card again in the camera. Check you are running the latest firmware. I have had one or two card/file issues over the last say 10 years with the M. The weirdest thing is they’ve always been with new cameras/cards, never worn in ones... I know you may have lost some confidence but try to stick with it because i would wager that this is a once off and provided you format the card using the above procedure hopefully something you never see again.

Tom1234 Posted October 20, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I use this on my SD cards & contacts. A small invisible corrosion can build up on any contact. This product is kinda famous in the electronic industry. Sure works for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014F110I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Turn the spray knob to low for less spray. Welcome, dear visitor!
