Well this weekend I had my first card failure!
I was shooting at a seminar, just basically a bunch of B-Roll. So it was a lot of short clips.
After about an hour of runtime on the card I got an error that said something like "Data Error Detected" then it asked me if I wanted to repair the clips and I selected yes. It worked for a couple of min and then said that "Thumbnail recovery failed". I could not get the camera to shut off so I ended up pulling the battery off the camera and pulling the card out. I stuck another card in and continued shooting.
When I got home that afternoon I stuck the failed SD card in my laptop and all the files were there. Thankfully!. I copied them over to my HDD with no problems.
I just stuck the card back in the camera this morning and it again said that there was a thumbnail error and it was going to try to repair them. It failed again. Again I had to take the battery out to get the camera to shutdown.
I decided I would stick the card back in the camera and try it one more time and this time it said that the repair was succesfull. I attempted to record some more to the card and It Worked!. I switched the camera to playback mode and it plays all the clips, including the ones I just recorded just fine.
FYI:
Delkin 16gb Class6
Formated in the camera
used several times before with no issues
shooting 720p60
