Aaaahhh...completely different thing! You're talking about a RAW file system, not a RAW file type/format. That's the problem with all these acronyms! Too much confusion between RAW/RAW and format/format.

I found some reference to people having problems with the Pro Duo's because they were RAW, and once they reformatted to FAT32 they no longer had problems.


You need a computer guru, not a camera guru!
You should be able to reformat it to FAT32 (4k blocks?) with the Disk Management program in Administrative Tools in My Computer, but I'm sure someone here is more familiar with it.

 

Shooting in RAW is just as much of a pain using a MAC as it is with a PC. Unlike a jpeg, RAW is an unprocessed data file straight from the camera, comparable to an unprocessed negative from a film camera. It has to be processed to yield an image, so it's just as confusing on a mac!

Trailbud's problem is a Sony issue, not a pc/mac issue. Their high-speed high-capacity sticks formatted in RAW cause problems in MP3 players, cell phones, etc.

 

Man, you're telling me!

 

So what your saying is to format the mem. stick to the computer format; FAT 32 correct? And then I don't format in the camera, due to only having the RAW file system. I format the mem. stick in the computer?
Thanks for the clarification, I would have never got it.

 

Thanks Jason, I need all of the help I can get.
I hope you guys are feeling better too.

 

So now I formated the card to FAT32, so now I guess everything should work.
Thank you everyone to helped me through this issue.

 

I was wondering that too.

 

Oh now I get it.

 

Let us know if reformatting to FAT32 solves the problem. If not, you might just have a corrupted card.






Toad, I tried to find a funny picture to post for you, but the best I could come up with is:

 

...I hate that error message that my post is too short. Sometimes that's all I want to say. Now I have to make stuff up and ramble...
