Images on compact flash card?

Created on September 11, 2010 @ 8:12PM

We have had our Canon XTi for a few months. We have taken lots of pictures and they are still on the memory card. Last week I took the memory card to a photo lab, and when I loaded the card into the computer at the photo lab, it told me that 'no picture sources detected'. Although when I put the memory card back in the camera the photos are all there. Why is this happening, and how do I have these pictures printed?

Did you shoot these photos in RAW mode, by any chance? If so, the computer at the photo lab might not recognize them unless they had been updated with the latest RAW profiles.

Regardless, you can rest easy. If you can see the photos in the viewer on your camera, you haven't lost anything.

I would download the images to your computer, burn them to a disc or put them on a flash drive, and have your images processed from there (you could also avoid this transfer step, and simply have them processed online).

It's a good idea to occasionally transfer your images from your card to your computer, and to make sure that you have those images backed up somewhere else, as well...accidents happen and you don't want to lose your hard-earned shots.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
