I always use a USB 2.0 reader to move files to my computer. I also always
do a re-format in the camera when I put the now-empty card into the camera.
I had the problem you describe once, but only the one time.
The auto WB is very, very good if the lighting is "normal". I shoot SHQ
JPG's about 95% of the time, as I need the workflow improvements and
shooting speed more than the extra RAW flexibility.

Subject: [OM] E-thing guys - couple of questions
First, do you find that if you empty a CF card with a card reader and
not the camera, that the camera still shows it as full until you
re-format it? I've run into that a couple of times. Also, I ran into a
problem Sunday that an empty card showed it only had room for 2 raw
files, even after a reformat. Re-seated the card, re-formatted one more
time, and the full 48 showed up. Weird. These are the fast Lexar
cards, so they're not from Joe's Memory Chips.
Second, I'm about to spend a weekend in Los Angeles, and plan on
shooting a bunch. However, I will have limited access to offline
storage, so I may shoot big-ass jpegs instead of raw.
My biggest concern is getting the white balance right. If I do that,
what are the pros and cons of shooting raw vs. big-ass jpeg? I can get
a bunch more images in my allotted 1gb of cards that way...
I'm still learning, but having a lot of fun. I have discovered that I'm
probably going to have to pop for the Katz screen - it is indeed
difficult to do MF with the OM lenses on the standard E screen,
especially in lower light.
