So, you’ve offloaded your images onto your computer last night, and today, you’ve got a shoot. You can’t find your other SD cards, so you grab the one from yesterday. With the card in, you start shooting without checking how many images you’ve got left. Sure enough, you’ve exhausted all the shots, and the shoot’s not over. There are some great shots that you took, but in order to keep going, you have to bite the bullet and clear the card.
Always, always, always offload your images as soon you get to your computer, and make sure they’re backed up. Then be sure to format the card so that you don’t have to worry about hitting a brick wall in the middle of a shoot. Simply deleting the images from the card isn’t enough. Formatting makes sure you get rid of any artifacts on the card that’ll keep you from screaming at your camera. Also be sure to have some extra SD cards on hand.
