Almost magically, neither device would communicate, even after a normal format!

Upon further investigation of both this 16GB XDHC and the failed 32GB XDSC were unreadable cards in either my computer or the A7R camera body itself. Once again, when I inserted the card into my USB card reader on my Mac, the card could not be mounted. Today I experienced a second SD card failure, this time a card that I have used repeatedly in other cameras. One day, you will need all of that card space, and when that day comes you won’t have time to decide between what to chimp or delete, and what to save. Follow this path, and you will always have enough cards that you can safely leave a days worth of work without downloading, and still have card space for a second days worth of shooting. Only you know how many cards that is as it varies for each of us. If you don’t own SD cards with the right specifications, buy enough cards with a new camera to cover two days of your shooting. Seriously, don’t let the same thing happen to you. I got sloppy, and I paid the price for it.

I know better than to put my whole shoot on one card, let alone two complete days of work.

My card wallet is full of a mix of 8GB and 16GB XDHC cards. The A7R instructions call for using SDXC cards, formatted in camera prior to use. I followed “the book” where photographic experience should have made my decision a different one. Had I been using my usual 16 GB cards, I would have had my footage from at least one of the two events. Given the A7R’s 45MB RAW files, my thought was the extra space was more video space. My normal mix in SD format is 16GB and 8GB cards, though the card that just failed was a 32GB, the smallest capacity SDXC card I could find. I never planned for the inevitable card failure, so failed to heed my own advice to others about cards: Use Smaller SD Cards – Change Them Frequently. My reasoning being to fill up the card Sony recommends for the A7R first.

As it relates to my A7R, Sony specifies SDXC Type I cards for the A7R, which at 32GB exceeded my older SDHC cards I had with me as backups. SD Card worlds are not like the CF Card world where things are simply stated as “times” or “X” the established base recording rate. The SD card brigade of choices means little to me. But as it turns out, it would not have mattered.

I had a choice: sleep or download SD cards and charge batteries. It was a long, late night, and a very early morning start for a New Years Day. Two events, foolishly recorded to the same large 32GB SD card. The whole lot, stills and video both from New Years Eve and New Years Day. I discovered a new 32GB SDXC card bit the dust, and took my whole Happy New Year along with it. What A Confusing Mess!Ĭhristmas is past but the Grinch left me one more New Years present.
