I had an issue like that, with my *ist-Ds a few years ago. I thought there was either an error with the camera writing to the card or my card reader. Unfortunately it was the hard drive I was saving to dying a prolonged and agonizing death.

You should run a diagnostic on that drive. I'm not sure if you would consider that lucky or not, I guess that would depend on the current state of your backups. For me it was good news bad news, good news the camera was alright, bad news everything else was screwed, including the backup being corrupted.

Oh and yes, it was the boot drive.

Hello List!

I'm shooting with a new K-50 that I've had for about 9 months now.
The issue I'm having has been happening since I got the camera (and
I've been dragging my feet trying to figure it out).

I don't know if my problem is with the camera or with the memory card
(I'll swap cards out when I get home and start testing).

My issue:

The camera is taking photos and everything looks good if I review the
pictures via the camera and screen.  Thumbnails on a computer also
look good.  I shoot in DNG almost exclusively.

I copy the files to my computer via Photoshop Downloader and work with
them via Elements 12.

Every now and then (there is no rhyme or reason that I can figure
out), a picture doesn't seem to be properly 'finished'.

Here is a link to one of the DNG files
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/clp2ed62ky4m5ez/IMGP1213.DNG?dl=0)

Here is a link to a JPG of Windows screen shot of the file opened in
Windows Photo Viewer
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/4nrz2svaz79k96y/IMGP1213_Opened.JPG?dl=0)

The JPG is what I see when I open the file in CameraRAW for Photoshop.

This particular file was copied to an iMac using the Photoshop
downloader as well as a copy/paste to a Windows PC.  Same results.

Prior to this last group of shots, I re-formatted the card in camera.

Any thoughts?  Card / Camera / End User??

Thanks!
