I had a strange problem today with my camera. I went to the New York autoshow and spend there whole day. I made a lot of pictures, but after each shot I used a preview option. Somewhere at 40th shot I could not do a preview anymore, but I still could take a picture.
I opened my camera, and saw that lights inside went crazy. I tried to shut it down, but it did not wark. Monitor went of, but camera was still on.
Then I took memory stick out (Lexar 256 dualside), after what my camera went off. Same happened to other side of the memory stick.
I lost a lot of images because of it.
I wonder, if anyone knows what can be wrong. Is it my camera or memory stick?
Thanks

it may be the memory stick, one of my coworkers tols me he had a simillar problem with his 717 on Sunday, he formatted the MS in the camera and its good now.

but i do think yo can recover the lost images with a free program off the net somewhere

I didn't know Lexar made a compatible MemoryStick.

Yes, they do. And it usually good.

Do you have the one that lights up when the memory stick is working?

Heard about Datarescue but have never tried it.
