Card Error?

Have any of you guys had this problem
A couple of times in the last few weeks I get a random Card Error message on control panel
Up to now I have just taken out the card and replaced and all ok , no probs with photos and they download ok with a card reader
What do members think ? The contacts look clean and pretty sure it's inserted ok
could the card be developing a fault and should be discarded
It a 16gb Transcend class 10 u1 300 x anyone had a problem with this card

If it were mine I'd reformat the SD card in my computer (be sure to clear the checkbox for "Quick Format, you don't want that) and then re-format it in the camera. These are two very different things... Reformatting in the computer will reformat the SD cards default FAT32 file system while reformatting in the camera (which is not really a reformatting at all) will re-establish the folders your camera uses to stores files.

If the error messages persist after taking these steps, I'd exchange the card.

Ok Fish just done that
Let's hope it's the last of that problem
Thanx

I've experienced some problems with my new Lexar 64GB 600X card. When I tried to read it on my daughter's laptop a while back it sometimes asked me to format the card as if it was not formatted. I could read it in my camera but not on her laptop - sometimes removing and reinserting the card worked.

Thankfully my D610 takes two cards and I found I could copy the images from the Lexar to my other card - a Scandisk Ultra and had no problems downloading those pictures onto her laptop. I've only experienced this problem with her laptop. I blamed it on something up with her internal card reader, I hope my card is good.

Did you experience this problem on different machines and/or card readers?

My wife's Nikon Coolpix P100 suffered some sort of card failure a week ago, first time ever in a long time with the same card. I'm not conversant with it all, but all of the files were suddenly corrupted and unreadable. Nothing we tried could recover the files. She was heartbroken because all of our 25th anniversary photos were lost ..... until she found RescuePRO software on the Internet for $40.

It worked great -- all files recovered.

Thanks for the tip on reformatting the card on the computer Rocketfish. I'll pass that on to her.

Hi Fort
No not had problems with card readers or computer
Its an error message that came up on the camera display
It said CARD ERROR !
No other issues , it records images and downloads using card reader and via cable from D7100 , hope the tip from Fish does the job
