Hi all, I have shot almost a thousand RAW images now with the *ISTD, and noticed that a few images turned out to be corrupted when trying to process them.
You can't tell this from looking at the preview on the camera, probably because that uses the embedded JPG data rather than the real RAW data for display. However, when viewing with the Pentax-browser is will report a 'loading error' on that image, and not show a thumbnail. Using the Photoshop-CS browser, and even converting/opening the image give no error messages (they don't check checksums perhaps :-) But, they do show corruption in the image, in the form of areas shifted within the image resulting in the image shown consisting of 3 or 4 different areas with one of them often having a huge blue or magenta color cast. Of course this makes the image useless ... I have found 3 out of the 1000 I have sofar that have this corruption, all have been shot using SanDisk 1Gb or Sandisk Ultra 512Mb cards. In all cases it may have been a shot from a short sequence, so the in-camara buffer might have been partly filled. I sucpect there is a firmware bug somewhere ... Has anyone else experienced the same kind of corruption ? Regards, JvW ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery
