I really appreciate your taking the time to help with this - thankyou.
>Is the SD card lock switch actually in the "Locked" position when this happens? >And does CHDK automatically start when the camera turns on when the SD card >lock is "Locked". (It should if you used STICK correctly).
-Yes, the card is locked - I double/triple checked that.
I moved the lock slide off and on again (firmly) a couple of times to make sure.
-Yes, CHDK does start automatically when the camera is turned on.
>Off hand, it sounds like an issue with the slide mechanism on the card. Does it do >this with other cards?
Good point - I'll try that now.
Nope, same thing - I just tried it with two other cards.
Here's what I'm doing:
-Prep the card using Stick, lock the card and put it in the camera.
change this setting (and this setting only) to 'selected' :
-Main Menu -> RAW (digital negative) -> Save RAW (change to selected).
then i shoot a pic, take the card out, put it in a USB card reader and use windows explorer to view the files on the card.
The JPG is there but (almost always) no RAW or DNG files.
What's really odd is that I've been trying different settings and a couple times (out of several dozen setting permutation combinations) the RAW and DNG files are exactly where they should be, but its flaky - hit and miss.
I can never duplicate the success.
If I just delete the files using the camera's non-CHDK menu then shoot again, without having changed anything, there will be no RAW or DNG files anywhere to be found.
It seems to work on a purely off-and-on random basis.
Strange hey?
Also - sometimes when I use the USB card reader to read the card and look for the files, I get this error message:
