What was bad news was that half way through the shoot with my D850 I was reviewing my shots waiting for the Owl to come back (about every 10 mins) I noted my best pix as above and marked it with the image protect key I then started to: on the view back monitor touched and slid with finger to advance up the time-line to see next pix, At once I was locked out with caption "card not formatted!" I was unable to look at rest of my images. Turned off display still there took out XQD card and message still there with SD card.
Turned camera off and on again still not able to see any of my pictures. Much time lost new cards on board fully formatted camera back to normal.
Back home faulty"?" XQD card into PC all NEF files there copied into folder and opened at once in Nikon Capture NX-D SD card also OK. Images all 100% OK. Card back in Camera same "Card Not Formatted" notice. Formatted both cards and all back to normal. Not funny at the time and Pete a Canon man was very kind but no doubt not impressed. Boy was I glad to be able to share these pictures with you all today.
Spoke to JK on phone never heard that one so I phoned Nikon NPS and gave my membership card no. Gave very helpfull chap full details. Not heard this but has registered my complain and will advise further but will pass info on.
Perhaps by sliding my finger to see more pixs after protecting my selected photo this now caused both cards to be protected? Nikon man said no. However if I need to protect a pix again I will then return to shooting mode then go back to viewing mode in normal mode, just in case. I will repot more if Nikon come back to mre. PS he agreed that I have kept all firmware up to date for info last update was 30/4/2020 C1.11 CD 2.016
