No card - how does that happen
Sep 5, 2018 08:56:56 #
So, while all y'all discuss angels dancing on the head of a pin, has the OP checked to see if the card has a physical lock, one of the little notched tabs?

I don't really know all the ins and outs of this DSL5100 but It tells me to put a sd card in the slot and without it GO FOR BROKE. My old canon D70 is the better of the two cameras for this reason I get what I shoot and watch the dial change as the film advances.

I am in agreement with your statements and like it has been mentioned some photographers do not pay attention when the camera is switched on and begin shooting. If the camera allows shooting without the card it could go forever.
Another interesting topic, at least it is for me, are the frequent comments of refusing a camera because it lacks two slots for memory cards. If a professional I can understand, not to say of professional cameras that only have one slot and are perfectly usable.
My cameras, except for my mirrorless bodies from Olympus have two card slots and I have never used both slots. My Olympus bodies have only one and I do not feel like I have been limited for the absence of two slots but that is me.

Don’t you take a exposer shot or check your photos as you take them . You wouldn’t get past the second one if you checked.

I was on a cruise ship with a Canon EOS and a 128GB micro SD. Took some pix all week and the Friday we were returning I went to take a storm picture and the micro part of the SD card was missing. All of my Bermuda and other visit pix were gone. A word to the wise...If you leave your camera on a table while away, at least lock your card in the safe. A camera can't be hidden very well but a micro SD can be hidden anywhere. I also use much smaller cards now.

I don't understand either. My newer Canon will not let you push the shutter without a both cards in the slots, except if it is teathered.

Fixed cameras used by multiple users for high volume specimen photography or copy work are sometimes tethered to allow direct uploading to a computer or network. Someone inevitably walks off with the card in that sort of situation. If you had to have a card to take a picture you would be dead in the water in that scenario. I agree this a very narrow market.

I can see it happening to me if I'm forgetful or get distracted immediately after loading my card into the computer and just grab and go with my camera. All these tales of no card help me be more careful ( as do stories of tripping over the tripod).

But still a setting that segment of users need. I just wonder how someone manages to change that setting accidentally.
It's because that setting is the Default. You actually have to find the setting in the menu and change it! That's how it is on my Sony a7iii. However, when you turn the camera on, if there is no card in the camera, "No Card" will flash on the LCD. Since this camera has two card slots, it would be rare to have BOTH cards out of he camera at the same time...at least for me.
Having a 2nd card slot has saved my butt more than once when I left a card in the card reader at home and took my camera out on a shoot.

My Nikon will still take the picture if there is only one card in the camera, not two. Both do not have to be in the camera to get the shot.

As others have noted, not every camera is the same. My Sony will, my Canon won't.
With my Sony Rx10 IV you have to tell the Menu to not shoot unless a chip is in the camera.

That's the $64 question. Why on earth would anyone want to set this option to allow shooting without a card?
Any ideas?

I don't know why, but my RX-10 IV came out of the box with me having to tell it "not to save" to an empty slot.

It helps sell the camera when on a merchants counter.

You can turn off the no card warning and that would be a mistake. Yes I always test my film camera's rewind lever to see if its tight showing me that there is still film inside.
