The Broken Image

by flyingbeagle on October 1, 2010

What you guys saw here is not a newest trick of photoshop or any computer software generated effect.

It’s my photo taken during lantern festival, and I only took one shot of this.

Can you imagine how disappointed I am? :(

This might happened if you using one SD card too often in multiple occasion shots.

The ratio so far is about 1: 1000. One SD card of 8 gb with jpeg fine quality can store up to 1000+ images.

So expect one of those to be broken.

How to prevent this?

  1. Copy all the image in one session photo taking to the computer
  2. Make sure they are safely transferred.
  3. Format the card with your camera, not with your computer.

Do this every single time after one day session. Hope this tips help all of you to avoid the same error.

Thought it only happens to manual cameras. Oh boy, better do tether when shooting important products or personalities.
