Chrissay 0 #1 April 18, 2005 So I took my brand new toy to the dz this weekend. My boyfriend took it on a few wonderful jumps with him. A sweet hybrid, someones 4000th jump and a friends recurrency tandem. Starting shooting on Friday with it, took a bunch of freefall photos on Saturday with it and then received error 22. It totally locked up the camera, we stuck the memory card into a laptop and all the files are corrupt The card is Lexor (sp?) 512 mb--which I have heard suck so I will be returning those. We had a second card that a friend borrowed, he went up and shot some photos with just a Digital Rebel. We ended up sticking that card back in the XT, now those files are corrupt as well I did find this info about error 22: ERR 22: CF DRIVER DESCRIPTION: This error occurs when image data cannot be written to the CF card. This error can occur when the CF card is not fully seated in the camera or if the D30 does not detect a card-ready signal within a specified time limit or when the CF card is not usable because it has been corrupted or physically damaged. It can also occur when the camera's battery level is insufficient to completely write the file to the CF card. REMEDIAL MEASURE: Use the DC Coupler or recharge the battery first. If the error continues to occur with sufficient power available to the camera, check that the CF card is properly inserted. If that's not the problem, then try replacing the CF card. If that does not solve the problem, have the EOS D30 and one of the CF cards that is causing the problem examined by a qualified service technician. I haven't had a chance to try their suggestions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. The fact that all those photos are most likely gone is just heartbreaking.

ltdiver 3 #2 April 18, 2005 What lens to you use? What year was it made? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissay 0 #3 April 18, 2005 Sigma 15mm, which was purchased at the same time (last week) as the XT from a camera shop. I'm not exactly sure of the year because I don't have the camera on me right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not exactly sure of the year because I don't have the camera on me right now. Not that this is the problem, but find out exactly which Sigma lens you have. What year it was made, or what version. Even though you bought it new, it might be an older lens...which has caused this exact error problem for the original digital camera users. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissay 0 #5 April 18, 2005 I thought that was error 99 When we bought the lense and camera we did ask the employee if it was the updated lense so it wouldn't give us the error 99, he send it was. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #6 April 18, 2005 check to see if you've got any bent pins in the CF card port. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newshooter12 0 #7 April 18, 2005 Some of the slower cards from all sorts of manufacturer's aren't great for getting lots of shots quickly, but Lexar doesn't suck. There are lots of pros using them that i know of, plus i've never had any problems with mine. most recently the 2 gig 40x. matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #8 April 19, 2005 QuoteI thought that was error 99 You're very correct. I just remembered 'error double digit something'. Never had the error on my 300D. Always bought Canon lenses. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
