Not exactly sure what the problem is..Please help

Just playing around with the 40D outside...I felt like my settings were all over the place trying to figure out what was going wrong...and I'm not a noob..I know how to shoot. Thn I upload and see there are a few issues - different issues. I'll just post examples and hope for advice.

Yeah exif would definitely help. That's so weird.

4, the real bugger for me..

1/40th at 3.5 - 800 ISO...underexposed -I think..but the blue would have only gotten worse?

Hmmmm....

1,2,3 all:
1/125 at 2.8 800 ISO

(17-55 lens)

Wre these on that same card?

yes

That could be the issue. A corrupt card can do weird things, from having an entirely black image, or mixing the RGB values such as what is going on here. I'd say ditch that card and use another Grace. Sorry that happened to you.

well!!! I'd MUCH rather it happen in my backyard then at a wedding!!

Yeah definitely. What card were you using?

SanDisk extreme

Did you format it in camera prior to use?

I had a Lexar that started giving me Err02 and losing whatever was in the buffer. I chucked it in the trash.

Try a new card and see if all is well. The challenge will be to recreate the second two shots to see if that was card related as well. The first two are obvious card errors.

No, not today, because I had several images still on that card from a visit with my sister a week ago.

I do format after I have downloaded all images to my external hard drive, and then again prior to new shoots...the ones I get paid to do! lol!
