Re: Corrupt RAW files from EOS R

Hi all, reaching out to the canon communtiy to see if any one else out there with a EOS R has had corrupt files from the camera. I have had this R for the last 18months, this is the 2nd time it has happened to me.

Last friday i did a shoot, no issues. On sunday doing a product shoot i popped back in the extreme pro 64gb SD card and formatted in camera as i always do. began the shoot no issues, i could zoom in and check out photos as i was shooting.
Loaded up the photos from the shoot to my workstation via lexar card reader, the first thing i noticed was the quantiy of shots to be transeferred.way more than the product shoot i just completed. When i opened the folder on my WS with adobe bridge i could see all of the previous friday shoot had re uploaded but no preview of prioduct shoot. Tried to open the product shots with PS, not a valid format! tried with capture one 20, no joy either.

I noticed the file numbers were skewed. The canon R obviously didnt format the card even though i hit the button, the product shots on sunday were actually numbered before the numbers of the previous friday shoot and ran right up to the first file number of fridays shoot.

I had to re shoot the products, pain in the ass but not the end of the world. But what if this was a job i couldnt re shoot? this is the 2nd time in a few months that this has happend to me. The first time i put it down to something stupid i had done and didnt think too much about it. This time round i have documented it.

The thought of heading out on a shoot where you just dont get time to double check every time you put in a card, formatt it and then take a shot and double check the file numebr is continuous and then you are good to go!

Is it possible that i am the only canon R user with this issue? Have i reached out to canon CPS of which i am a member, yes. do i want to embarress them by publicing their response. Not just yet but i am begining to question my decision to stick with canon when so many of my colleagues have left for other mirrowless brands.

Marco Nero? if you see this post and had time i would appreciate your feedback.

thanks. mike
