In lightroom all the ISO, aperture and shutter speed are there but there is no registered image there. Chris Giles Photography

I'd strongly recommend resetting to default and trying again. Name is Peter and here is my gear:

In lightroom all the ISO, aperture and shutter speed are there but there is no registered image there. I've reloaded the firmware and reset the camera yet no change. Broken camera? If its every other image every time check that you don't have bracketing turned on. Are you shooting with two cards installed? If yes do both cards foul up? Did you switch to sRaw mode? Sometimes sRaw doesn't read correctly. If all else fails do a camera reset. 5D MKIV, 5D MKIII, 1D MKIV, 24L II, 35L, 50L, 85LIS, 100LIS Macro, 135L, 300LIS, 16-35L, 24-70L, 70-200LIS, 100-400LIS

Already reset the camera last night. Damn, 2 more weddings this weekend and whilst I have a 1D4 and a 5D2 the 1DS3 is just better at everything. None of the other two can focus as quickly in low light. Chris Giles Photography
