no, I bought a really good card, SanDisk Extreme III. It shouldn't be the card, and I did update the firmware. I will try uploading to my other computer to make sure there isn't a problem on my computer as one person suggested.

Bought a new card today, took about 30 shots on RAW+ and had shifting in one jpg (the bottom half of the shot was moved over) and in another image there was one line that was funky, a bright orange red. So while I'm glad it is definitely better than what it was I'm still a little concerned that this hasn't been completely resolved.

Thanks for the information on the file naming and the colour space, I did not know that the colour space affected the file name, learn something new everyday!
I have applied the firmware update and things are better although not 100%. In some of the images I am having a shifting -like the bottom half of the photo will be shifted over an inch. So I think (desperately hope) it is as you have all said and is a card error. I am off to buy a new card tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks again for all your help.

Hi all,
Thanks for your help. I have tried many different things. Switched SD cards, turned off continuous shooting, but no luck, and the problem is getting worse -more and more of my raw files are showing up like this. The thumbnails show up ok in camera, but when I download them they are that mess.
I use Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop to edit my photos. When I started shooting RAW I downloaded the Adobe Plug in to open pentax raw format.
I did notice that at the same time the problem got significantly worse my file names started going goofy. They have always been IMGPxxxx.pef or .jpg and now since this has started happening they are showing up as _IGPxxxx.pef. This may be simply coincidence, but I'm leery of coincidences. I phoned the camera store where I purchased the camera and asked them if they had ever heard of this before and they told me it sounded like the files are corrupted somehow, so that they are not properly transferring from camera to computer (the _ in the file name suggests this apperently). They recommended that I send the camera in to Pentax to have them look at it. Without seeing the camera they think it sounds like a firmware problem and potentially the camera will have to be wiped down and the operating system reloaded. I do connect my camera directly to my computer rather than using a card reader -which may be something I end as of now!
Gack!
Thanks for all of your help! I'll post the result just in case anyone else ever runs into a similar problem.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has had sensor problems when shooting RAW+. I've had my K200D for about 2.5 years and only recently began shooting in RAW. I don't want to edit all of my photos so I shoot RAW+, but I've been getting some "misfires" on a high proportion of pictures. (See attached, the top was the .PEF file and the bottom is the .JPG file.) Any ideas about what is causing this? I'm shooting on continuous shooting (hi) mode, is it basically that the camera can't keep up? Help! |
