If you have some DeoxIt, you can try cleaning the contacts as a start. If it still doesn't work, Rescue PRO from Sandisk might be able to read the card even if the allocation table is scrambled. A trial version is free and will tell you if it finds anything even if you will need to get a license to recover the contents.

I just tried to download the rescue pro and every one I try to install is corrupted and won't work.If you have some DeoxIt, you can try cleaning the contacts as a start.

I went home and copied immediately but when I pulled my card out to copy, there was some weird like rubbery junk on the contacts and it wouldn't read Any more.This is why I carry two sets of cards and I dual shoot. RAW and JPG. And once I get so many pictures on the cards they are copied to two external hard drives. Or if I do a special event I copy them right away.

This happened on my d3300 but now I have a d600. With dual card slots.Not that it helps you in this case, but that is the very reason that, despite the fact that I’d love a Nikon dF, I would never part with my D610 in favour of one. With electronic devices in general and memory in particular, experience suggests that you REALLY NEED back-up.

It really isn’t my area of expertise, but I have to wonder whether, if the card won’t read properly, whether it wrote properly to begin with. Do you remember whether you were able to review the pics on the camera’s screen when the card was still in it?

As there was some kind of gunk on the contacts, cleaning them with DeoxIT or isopropyl alcohol will probably help. Do not use rubbing alcohol or a alco-gel as they are mixed with oils to avoid drying out skin. DeoxIT Gold is nice to have available anyway to clean the lens-mount and contacts on both body and lenses.

I am going to look for it today. Does it have to be the gold version?As there was some kind of gunk on the contacts, cleaning them with DeoxIT or isopropyl alcohol will probably help.

That version is made for plated contacts. All versions work, but the version that is matched to the contacts to be cleaned give the best long-term protection.
