In the summer of 2008 I shot a wedding with my original EX1 with a Sony 16 Gbyte SxS Pro card. I saw this glitch when editing and was quite surprised to say the least. I’ve still got that card and have never seen another glitch like that on any of my SxS cards. I’ve got 4 32’s and 4 16’s

Thank you for your reply!
I also have the same problems as you. what have you done to solve the problem, please help me, because i dont realy know where is the problem and why something like that apperas! -
I haven’t really done anything significant to resolve the problem. For a short while after I saw the glitch I was waiting for the same thing to happen again and it never has. I do reformat my cards on a regular basis and before the glitch I just used to empty the cards using my laptop or using the camera. I don’t reformat each and every time but probably every third time. There are people that simply empty their cards without reformatting and they never have problems.
I had a photo expert tell me he’s seen pictures from SDHC and CF cards that have ghosted images from previous pictures on top of current images because the cards were emptied and not reformatted between uses. That’s one of the reasons why I reformat.

ok, hmm, okay, so you think that i have to reformat the sxs cards, but can you explain me how you do it? step by step.
Im reformating the cards using the camera, sony ex1r’s menu, or sometimes “my computer / right click on the sxs disc / format”.
Should I do it in the other way?
-
If you wish to reformat just do it in the camera. That’s the fastest and most reliable method.

I think formatting should always be done in the camera. I have seen somewhere that computers can leave all kinds of little files on a card. I think delete all clips in the camera is normal procedure so that you do not erase saved profiles etc. But more to the point how can your picture problem be resolved?

Don, in the Vortex Media EX workshop DVD Doug Jensen advises against formatting cards. He advises deleting clips in the camera for further use. Formatting deletes everything from the card including any saved camera settings. These include PP’s, screen lay out, audio settings etc etc and I have these all saved on all my cards. No need to format, it achieves nothing.

It looks like an encoding or related video problem but the card should be reformatted and tested and the camera reset in any case. There is no danger in formatting the card as long as the camera settings have been stored elsewhere. All of this (storing/recalling settings; formatting the card; resetting the camera) is done from the OTHERS menu.
Others–>Camera Data store/recall
Others–>Format Media A/B
Others–> All ResetAgain, the prescription against formatting does not necessarily apply in every situation as long as you are not deleting any setup files.
If the issue persists the camera and a card showing the issue should be sent in to Sony.

Here’s another frame grab of the problem:
You can see that footage is bricked. It lasts for about 10 frames.
The glitch doesn’t look the same every time I play back. It’s in the same place on timeline, but I noticed that after restarting premiere it changed it’s appearance few times.
When playing back on the camera, blue screen showing “Media Error Playback Halted” appears, just before the glitch.
It happened only on one memory card, few times. I hope that’s only memory card problem, not camera problem. Any ideas?
