Pixelation on photos

[wassa1957]

OK. This is happening rarely but is concerning to me. Also had Err message and sent it to be looked at. Told it was dirt. Err happened again after 100 photos then stopped. Send it away or is this normal?

What camera? Is it happening when you look at the images on the camera? If so, have you tried a different card? If not...also have you tried a different card/card reader?

That is normally a card problem, I'd buy a new card and if it continues then send it in.

I agree with the posts above, that's typically a memory card problem. I'd probably try a full format on the memory card but if it happens again after that I'd replace the memory card.

What was the error message??

The camera is a Z9. I did isolate the original ERR message to slot 1. It happens infrequently. Photoflicker enabled wouldn't have an effect? Yes, I have continued using my Prograde Cobalt , which I've had for 18 months, and would last longer. I see they have a three-year warranty but I'm in Australia. I'll sound out their support service.

ERR flashes was the message.

I'll try the Prograde software and do the full format option first.
Thanks for the prompt responses.
Excellent work

ProGrade support was excellent. Used the Refresh software and found I needed a firmware update. I installed the same and 'cleaned' the cards. All good so far.
ProGrade stressed they will honour their warranty. This is particularly good for those of us outside the USA.
