*Heidi* Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have a Pentax k100d, ok now i know thats not the best camera in the world but I am hoping someone here, as you all love photography (I do to, just not that good at it LOL) knows what the issue with my camera is. Over a year ago I was at my nephews party and took a LOT of photos, but towards the end of the day, the camera had a message that said something like "photo cant be stored" I cant remember the exact words. When we got home and took the photos off the card, i had taken 200 or so shots but only the first 30 or so would show up on the computer and the last one to show up only came as half a photo like this Then others although a jpg file is there shows nothing. Well i thought it was a one off thing, maybe the batteries were very flat and that was that, but next time i used it the same thing!!!!!!!!!!! I got new batteries and a new SD card thinking maybe it was the card and it still did it, so upgraded the firmware and it still did not help, i used to be able to take a few photos before it happened but now it happens very quickly. Dont know what the problem is. Any ideas????? Also wondering if the Sigma lenses i have for this (which are 18-55 & a 55-200mm) will fit on a Canon if i have to get a new camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My first guess is a corrupt card. But you said you've put in a new card. My second guess would be a firmware problem, but you said you've updated that. So, I would do a hard reset on your camera - you'll need to read the manual or get online to find out how - and then start over with a fresh set of batteries and a card that you know works. If you are still getting this error, it's off to the camera doctor, me thinks. no, your lens will not fit because it is a pentax mount and it needs to be a canon mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Did you format the card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Reformatting the card is a good idea, if you haven't done so. I always hit "format" on mine when I insert a card so didn't think to ask - good job, huga! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
