Subject: Re: [OM] Strange occurrence with SD card
I recommend following Jez's procedure. I never delete individual files from
the card either in camera or in computer. Too much work going on following
chains of pointers that increase the odds of an error. I temporarily retire
cards that have had everything uploaded. They sit in a queue until at least
one other backup is made. At the point they get formatted in-camera.
