    Question The infamous ERR 99 on the 10D

    I've begun shooting in RAW mode exclusively yesterday for experimentation purposes and of course, continued learning. I get the infamous Err 99 every 3 or 4 frames. Doesn't seem to matter what the ISO setting or shooting mode is. I thought maybe I was shooting too soon between frames, but even giving ample time for the buffer to write to disk doesn't seem to decrease the occurance. I've fired roughly 6or 7 thousand frames from this camera (mostly at work in the office) in JPG format and have never gotten this error before. Any one have any insights?

    Couple Things To Try

    You might have already tried both of these. But for mystery problems, try changing batteries and reformatting your memory card. In this case, I think the reformatting might do the trick.

    Those were actually the first things I tried.

    Although I noticed I get the error more often on the Lexar 512 WA card than my Sandisk Ultra 512. Is it just a bug I wonder with shooting RAW? I'll see there's a newer firmware version out too (mine is v. 1.4 I think)
