Error Almac IO

[emoreira]

My DC200 had a similar issue just last week. During the dive, I started getting memory card "error" message whenever I turned the camera on. Sometimes the error message would go away and I would take some pictures, and sometimes I would get the error message and the camera would lock up again.

When I downloaded the memory card, every photo that I had "taken" in between the memory card errors was gone. They may not have ever been recorded. I scanned the memory card and found no errors on it. I cleared and formatted the memory card and put it back into the camera. Fingers crossed. If I get a repeat incident I will just replace the memory card next. The memory card is a few years old so I'm hoping that the card is the failure point.

Micro HD is a "permanent sealed" camera. No ports, no windows, no closures, no battery removal, no memory card slot, no nothing.
Everything is inside and unaccesable.

Hi there!
I just came back from my only diving holiday possible this year, completely amazing, except for the fact that my SeaLife micro cam failed exactly in the same way yours did. I have sent it back to the shop for a replacement, however my level of confidence in the brand is very low at the moment, my biggest fear is to experience the same frustration of not having a camera due to malfunctioning even if I get a new one.

Can you share an update of how your story ended up please?

Hi Andrea, the local representative replaced the camera with a new one to our cost. The cost to send the deffective one to the manufacturer and back would cost only a little less than the replacement, so we opted for the first choice, a new one. Since then no further problems.

Glad to hear! I'll cross my fingers so I can have the same luck as you did and thanks for your reply
