750d issue writing to disc

hi,

just bought a 650d and shooting now in sevilla and lisbon.

at many occasions the camera 'hangs' and the screen turns black.

When trying to shut down the camera it says 'wait while writing to disc'.

i've waiten 19 minutes but does not finish writing.

to continue i need to remove the battery and wait a couple of minutes before i am able to continue.

this hapoens randomly.

Memory is sandisk 16gb ultra.

Can anybody shed some light on this issue please.

kind regards,

vincent

Hi Grinderman2016,

It could be failing SD Card.

You need to get your photo's off the memory card. I would then do a low level format and see if that cures it.

Menu/Format card/ then put a tick in the 'Low level format' and click OK.

Good Luck.

For the price of a new card I would just buy one, it would then rule out one possible problem area.

Good luck.

Hi mocha123,

thanks for your reaction.

I already tried that and also tried to replace the card but that id not solve the issue.

It is really happening randomly.

I can shoot a number of pictures and then suddenly the camera 'freezes' again while trying to write to disc.

Kind regards,

Vincent

Hi Grinderman2016,

It sounds like a bad connection between Camera and SD Card, try using a blower into the SD Card slot area or inserting and removing the SD card a few times to see if it clears. I'm thinking if it hasn't been used in a while there maybe a build up of dirt/dust or residue on the contact area.

Good Luck.
