I recently was taking photos of a young lady by a lake, proudly pointing up to a mountain she'd just climbed, when a passerby offered to take a photo of the two of us. We accepted. Twenty seconds later we were reviewing the shot on the viewscreen of my camera. We thanked him and he went back to his truck.
That evening when I uploaded my photos from the CF card to my computer, that shot had vanished! It's not that it failed to transfer or was deleted on my computer: there was an unbroken numbering sequence between the last shot I'd taken at the lake, and a shot I'd taken later in the day.
Anybody have something like this happen to them? I might not even have noticed this if it had happened with a different shot. Is it the card or the camera? Remember that we did review the shot while it was on the card in the camera. I don't think it's possible for me to have accidentally pressed the three-button sequence needed to delete the photo in camera, and I don't suspect the young lady (the camera doesn't leave my sight, and besides, she'd have deleted the one of her grimacing while trying to chew a granola bar).
Something that may or may not be related: with increasing frequency I've been seeing "error 99" when I first turn on the power of my camera - seems to happen if I try to do something (like change the exposure) without allowing half a second for the camera to complete its bootup process. Turning the camera off and back on clears the error.
