Canon T2i -- CR 2 Problem

[GuruBhai]

Hi,

I'm having Canon T2i.
When ever i shoot in Raw, 20% of my images doesn't show up correctly.

I mean -- unable to see them once downloaded it say "Invalid Image"; where as ii displays correctly in camera.

I searched over the internet and didn't find any acceptable solution.

At first i thought, my card has some problems, i used a new one and same result.

This happens only with Raw format not with Jpeg.

Any help will be appreciated.



Thanks

This probably is an issue with canon's raw codec on windows 7 64 bit. I had a very similar issue with the cr2 codec, some files would work, others would not, then they would, then they wouldnt, its a fine mess canons made by not officially supporting 64 bit technology. very backwards thinking actually since the best computers for digital PP are 64 bit.

Only solution I can offer is paying for the third party codec from fast picture viewer

I know its a bit of a piss off that you have to buy third party software to support something that should already have support from the original manufacture, but hey... there it is.

Sounds more like a memory card issue.

I tried a new memory card, still the same problem.

Have your put in a new memory card, formatted it properly, then tried? It looks like a typical corruption issue.

Just to be clear - you can view them in camera, but once you download them you cannot view them?

What software are you using? If you are using a MS windows viewer, you stand no chance.

The bundled RAW viewer/ utility that came with your camera should be fine.

Download the Lightroom 3 trial and see if that helps.

What is your OS set up?

Yes That's correct.
I have been using Light room.

Win XP SP 3.

I tried to open the same in Picasa and Light room. Nothing worked
