file error?

[chimera88]

hi all, just joined, little problem.

Sometimes when I take photos I get a " file error " and lose all my photos, but its very inconsistant its hard to really test it, sometimes it works for days without any error, then when its important, " file error " and everythings gone, i formated, reset the camera, same thing, I noticed though all my outdoor pictures never had a problem, only indoor ones I take ruin everything..

I have a Samsung L730 and my SD memory is a DSE Secure Digital 1gb

Im assuming its the memory and not the Camera, hope its not the camera.


Good thing is this memory has life time warranty.

Since SD cards are cheap nowadays, I recommend getting a new one, or borrowing someone else's. It's much easier to test this way than trying to repair/RMA the camera.

thanks for quick reply, im off to the shop where I got the sd card, going to buy a more known brand, sony or something, wedding coming up and I dont want this file error then lol.

Unfortunately testing or finding out the cause of intermittent problems is hard. I do hope it's the memory card.

If the store where you bought the camera is pretty close by, perhaps you can ask them too.

I say it's about 90% that it's the card. Dick Smith should replace the card under warranty if you still have the receipt.
