400D - CF Card Problem

zephyr — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 23:32:20 +0800

Another issue which have been bugging me has been the CF Card error. It happened to me 3 times already so far and I'm getting rather pissed and worried of this issue..

Well, all 3 times, it occured with the error reading: 'There is a problem with the CF Card. Please replace the CF Card'.

When this happens nothing else could rectify the problem unless I format the card once again. Which means, all photos stored in the card would be gone! Luckily for me, at all 3 times which it happened, I wasn't taking any 'precious moments' photos. @#$*(*&%!!

The CF card which I'm using is currently Kingston's 1G CF. No speed indicated so that's why I can't furnish more details..

Is this a common problem? Is there anything wrong with the CF card of the camera body itself?

Looks like I'm starting with with all the wrong footings with my very first DLSR..

Dust.. Need Help..

Sifus,
I'm faced with the dust-on-sensor problem.. I'm using a 400D, and yes as some said before, the dust-cleaning function does not really work like a wonder.. Here's the attached image which I shot purposely to check on dust specks...

Hope someone can help to explain what to do, step-by-step, because I'm afraid I might destroy my unit by doing a self-experimentied cleaning. Is the use of a blower sufficient enough to solve this issue? Appreciate some advise

I'm a newbie at this... Would welcome all constructive criticism from sifus around...

I'm currently using an Olympus SP-700.. Bought in February, and hardly ever fiddled with it's extra functions until yesterday..

Anyway, here it goes....
