Most embarrasing moment!

fuzzybuster · 15th April 2005

Hi all,

I've been busy, very busy.

Had to do a newspaper-style shoot today for a client.

The D7D cameras screen was flashing "full", as in out of memory card.

I said to the subject, "wait a sec", while I sorted it out.

Reformatted the card

Took some shots and got the same error!! after about 6 shots.

Running short of time and there was very little options in terms of buying another card.

Guess what? Somehow, I'd mixed up my 512 Meg card with a 16 Meg card.

Got the shots I wanted but boy, I had to delete a few frames and "be economical".

Can anyone beat this embarassing moment?

Ah it happens to the best of us. Bottomline is you got the shots.

There were few ocassions when i forgot to zip up my pants and i realized it after some time. I wondered how many people looked at me with awe.

We tends to be careless no matter how careful we are.

Main message is : " You are not alone. "

Latest firmware tells u that no card is inserted by showing a red line where the frame counter is mah..

Ha.... at least you have 6 shots... I was catching sunset, and I run out with my Dynax 7 and after few shots and the sunset colour was gone, then I come back to the car and my wife ask me... did you get the shot?

I am very confident say... yes... but having look at the film window, realise that I didn't have the film in the camera...

I was seriously looking for hole to put my head in.... so embarrasing...

Hahahaha..

Hahahha...

Well, had these as well, was at my unit's function, had some performance over dinner, was by platoon commander's daughter on stage, tot I'll try to get a couple of nice shot. Standing in Firing position, framed the subject, waiting for the right moment, the momment appeared, I squeezed, mirror didn't flip, again 3 times, before I finally checked the LCD...

000

said the frames remaining counter...

Didn't notice it in the EVF... was really the last thing on my mind
