CFast card download issue

Posted by Jessica Hargrave on October 8, 2018 at 3:25 pm

Hi, I am trying to download footage from a C300 mark ii shot on a Sandisk 256GB Extreme Pro Cfast card.

The card says that it has 59.85 GB on it, but all that shows at the finder level is the INDEX.MIF of the clips, no actual clips! When I put the card back in the camera it says no clips.

The card was formatted prior to use.

Any ideas?

Hi Jessica

Have you tried using Canon’s XF Utility ? If your file is there, it will see it and import it.

Cheers !

I might be wrong (I probably am), but I didn’t think the XF Utility worked with Mark II footage.

I normally shoot with the C300 original so I use the utility all the time, but the one time we rented a Mark II as an additional camera on a shoot we could not use the XF utility (it would not identify the clips), we had to import clips manually/individually and we were told not to use the utility for Mark II footage.

Hi Todd

Can you play the clip from the CF card ? Can you Mediainfo the clip ?

Cheers !

Me again

I just remembered that Canon at some point issued a notice of possible file corruption on Sandisk cards. You may want to look into that.

Cheers !
