What are the specs of the card ? Brand, CF or SD, etc ... did you format it in the camera before using it ?

It's a SanDisk Ultra, 16GB, CF. I believe I formatted the camera before I used it, but I can't remember as it was a few months ago.. I bought it right after I bought the camera and it's been in there ever since with no issues, that's why I thought it was strange to randomly pop up and say that it's full.

Then it is weird. Did you try the card in another camera ? Try to format it a few times (untick "simple format") and check if it works.

Have you tried it in a card reader also ?

I don't have another camera to try it in :/ But I'll try formatting it to see it that fixes it.. it's really not *that* big of a deal, since I highly doubt I'll ever need the extra storage, just thought it was really weird for it randomly not to work.

Do you have two cards in your camera? And you are recording only to one? Do you have "auto switch media" enabled? It may think the card is full and if you do not have auto switch then it will not switch to the next empty card. Also if you are trying to write to only card two make sure you specify that in the settings. I know when i take out my card 1 and put it back in after i transfer files my camera automatically switches to slot two because i have a card in there. I just have to change it back to slot one.


NOTE** I did not read the entire convo so sorry if i have repeated any information that has been previously said

Nope brendo I hadn't suggested your advice, thanks for chiping in

I am having a problem getting ISO 100 on my Mark3, I have set the Cfn to lowest ISO 100 but it remains on ISO 200.

any guidance would be great.

Turn off highlight tone priority.

I'm guessing your 200 looks like 2oo instead of 200?

Thanks FP,looks like I posted too fast above without thinking.

Yes, you are spot on with the numbers, how do I turn off highlight tone priority, been looking but can't find the information.
