amezriSo. One thing I've discovered in researching my new camera is that there seem to be a siginificant amount of people getting the dreaded "Memory Card Error" display, which results in either total loss of card data or other weirdness.
This is what I've come up with:
- The cards are all generally over 1GB in size (mostly the 4GB HC SD cards, though also a lot of 2GB SD cards)
- brands seem to be mostly Kingston and SanDisk (larger market share?)
- cards were not formatted on camera before use
- cards were usually high speed, high capacity which does not exactly meet SD card file standrads? Or something...
There are still a large enough number of people who have used to S3 with no memory card issues, so I think the key will be to just have many cards of smaller capacity rather than getting one giant card and stuffing everything on there.
I've been fiddling with the camera setting some more and have figured out the Shutter Speed priority thingo and played with manual focus and super macro settings. I'm going to try some sunset shots tonight, but it's super cloudy, so I probably won't be able to. Would also like to try out suggested methods of photographing the moon, but there won't be a full moon for another week or two, I believe.
Also going to buying a ProStrap (review here) because I absolutely hate neckstraps and after using it for a couple days, my opinion hasn't changed.
Okay, off to do some knitting!
