IDK for sure, David, I'm going by the clue which is that I can remove the
card, import to digikam from a reader, put the card back in the camera,
turn the camera back on and the camera will not recognize it again, but I
can put tha card back in the reader, and its all there, back in the
camera, its not recognized again. In 2 earlier cameras, a new card it had
no problems recognizing. Thats my clue. The cannons usb port is still
functioning so the card has only been out of it once, before digikam grew
a cannon driver with the buster release. How I interpret that clue is
driven by my electronics troubleshooting history which starts in about
1950 when I quit school and went to work as a tech. That fed me well for
the next 52 years, and still does.
Thank you David.
