[QUOTE="aroy, post: 361132, member: 16090"] I suggest that OP cleans the contacts on both the card and the computer and then reinsert it, initially to the slot it was in, and if that not work to the second slot. If even that does not work, then sending the card to data recovery agency is the best option. Nothing can be as embarrassing as telling the client (especially wedding client) that there are no images. If there are two card slots, then for any critical shoot both have to be used, one as main and the other as copy. I would go further and recommend that not only you keep two copies of every shot (one on each card), but also shoot in RAW+JPEG for redundancy. As card prices are quite low, having two 32GB or even 64GB for a critical shoot is a must do thing. A 32GB card can hold 1400-1500 14bit RAW images, so it would hold at least 1000 RAW=JPEG. If you estimate more shots than that, then either go for a 64GB or extra 32GB set. Another thing that I have learnt from various forums, is that the first sign of card failure is when they are taken out and plugged into a card reader. Though it may seem crazy, I always review the images in the camera; use the smallest size and it will display array of 10x12 or near about images), and then I use the USB to transfer the data. On D3300 300 images take four or five minutes over USB2. [/QUOTE]
