Perhaps the camera didn't have time enouhg to save the image before the batteries depleted - or befor you took the card out? I've done that. Regards Jens Bladt Arkitekt MAA http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: David Oswald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 3. november 2005 09:03 Til: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Emne: *ist-DS saving zero-byte files occasionally. Over the last couple of months, on three occasions I've experienced the following: I review a few of the day's shots on the camera's viewscreen. One shot will come up as "Image cannot be displayed" (or something like that). When I look at it on my computer, I find that particular image is just a filename, but the file itself is zero bytes long. This only seems to happen once in a great while. Out of a thousand shots in the last two months, it only affected three. And it doesn't seem tied to any particular memory card; I've seen it on both my 512mb Sandisk card, my 1gb generic brand, and my 1gb sandisk. I think what I'm doing is shutting the camera off by flicking its on-off switch to the off position too quickly after snapping a shot. I don't know how I developed that wierd habbit, but I think it is somehow related. Has anyone else experienced this behavior on their *ist-DS?
