tommonego@gmail.com Posted September 1 Share #1 Posted September 1 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just photographed a Labor Day Parade in town, a good experience. I used both my CL and M8, the M8 had a 75mm Voightlander on it, I have used this combination quite a bit and had no problems until today. In the meat of the parade the camera didn't record the images. On the SD card the numbering goes from xxx7740 then jumps to xxx7750, none images in the 40's is there or recorded. I changed the lens near the end of the parade and all those images are there. Not sure why I had 10 or so images that came out then nothing for 10 more images, then I change the lens and everything works again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jankap Posted September 1 Share #2 Posted September 1 (edited) The first reason could be: forgotten to take off the lid of the lens? Edited September 1 by jankap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf_ZG Posted September 1 Share #3 Posted September 1 (edited) A stupid reason from @jankap, but I could also not know another one, for a lens being a problem, though at least you would have black images which are numbered. Dirty contacts may be? Either between camera and lens or camera and battery? Edited September 1 by Olaf_ZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted September 1 Author Share #4 Posted September 1 Yes, if it was a normal problem I would have damaged images, black or otherwise. But the numbers are missing ???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 1 Share #5 Posted September 1 Unsure how the lens could be the culprit. An SD card issue springs to mind so you may wish to use another card and see if the problem is fixed then. If you don't have another card, i'd format yours with SD Card Formatter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted September 1 Author Share #6 Posted September 1 The card is a SanDisk 8GB HCI, It has worked with the camera for years, well the 6 I have had it. I always format the card in camera. The bizzare thing is I didn't turn camera off and on, it was working fine up until xxx740 then stopped and started up again at xxx750 with another lens. I remeber the shutter firing, I think. But it still it shouldn't drop numbers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted September 1 Share #7 Posted September 1 Advertisement (gone after registration) Old card indeed. I would format it with SD card formatter and see what happens. FWIW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
84bravo Posted September 2 Share #8 Posted September 2 I think your card is the culprit. Try a new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommonego@gmail.com Posted September 2 Author Share #10 Posted September 2 Bummer that it happened, but this is the easiest solution, with an M8 you are always afraid it is the camera. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
