Re: Card not initilized, I lost all my pics?!?!
Had the same with mine when also using both card slots.
I switched to the problematic card, then removed both cards and left the
camera off for about an hour.
I put the problem card back in on it's own and all my pics reappeared.
Not sure if there's generally a problem switching between cards. I've only
needed to do it once so far, so it's 100% failure already!
If the above doesn't work, try and borrow a card reader, or pop down to a
processing shop to see if they can access it.
