Missing Raw Images

Dogdots

I've got a problem. I'm taking my pictures in Raw and Jpeg together. I have noticed that sometimes I will get the jpeg image when I download to the computer, but I am missing the RAW image.

Is this a card problem----camera problem---or am I the problem:D

I open my card in Bridge, but have them saved to a file on my desktop.

Is is someplace else? Or just taken out completely?

This may seem like a stupid question but what sort of camera is it and do you ever shoot in any of the "Auto" modes? My 40D won't record/save RAW files if I switch the camera to "Full Auto" When I switch back to the P, Tv, Av side it will (by design).

Ahhhh......I have a Canon XTI, but what you just said makes a lot of sense. I was playing around with different settings on my camera that day. So maybe it won't do RAW with the Auto setting like yours---Do you have an XTI too? I very rarely shot in Auto, but I did that day just to see what it would do with a photo. I'm in M mode most of the time--unless my hubby picks up my camera and tries it out

I'm going to have to check it out tomorrow and see what happens. For a second there I thought something was wrong with my card, camera or
me

Thanks for the info.

Mine's a Canon 40D. This happened to me once before I realised what was going on.

I had a look at the XTI manual; The XTI won't record RAW in "Basic Zone" modes. It's on page 61. Link The XTI shows shots remaining on the Camera Setting Display. If you have your camera set to RAW + Jpeg and switch it into and out of Auto to any of the manual modes you'll see the number change (by quite a bit) as you go.

Its amazing what one will learn when they read the "Book" Thanks for the link to the book---saved me from having to dig mine out. Also saved it to my favs. It will make reading and playing with the camera a lot easier then trying to hold the book/hold camera at the same time.

I printed off one recently for my 40D for myself. It's big, so, unlike the manual that came with my camera, I can read it when I can't find my reading glasses! I do keep the little one in my camera bag though.

Yeah, I keep mine in my camera bag and it seems to want to stay there I'm going to have to print out one so its larger for my Ol' eyes to see it better
