[QUOTE="nickt, post: 184936, member: 4923"] Its hard to see the file extention in the pictures. It looks like .VMP I looked that up and it looks like one possible owner of that extension is an image organizer program called Viewminder. Are you ever working with the files while they are still in camera? Or sometimes importing with something other than windows? Don't do that, something might be writing index files back to the camera. It won't hurt to format in camera after every successful upload. I routinely format in camera rather than delete after I upload to computer. edit: Just to clarify when I say 'don't do that' regarding importing with programs other than windows... A normal import should be ok from any program, but some photo programs will allow you to view or import photos without actually moving them to your hard drive. If you then work with these files within the program while camera is still connected, it may write back index type files to your camera and you don't want that. Import, be sure files are copied to hard drive, then format card in camera and you should be free of these random files. [/QUOTE]
