Cannot read files from SD card which works fine under windows

I have a SanDisk 256GB extreme pro SD card for my camera. It works perfectly fine with the camera and with windows, but when I instert it into the card reader on linux (fedora 38) I can't copy any files from it:

cp: Fehler beim Lesen von '.../DCIM/112_FUJI/DSCF2001.RAF': Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler

Loosely translated:

cp: error while reading from '.../DCIM//112_FUJI/DSCF2001.RAF': input/output error

the card is automatically mounted and shows up in the file explorer.

The fdisk command return this:

Festplatte /dev/sdg1: 238,27 GiB, 255835766784 Bytes, 499679232 Sektoren

I tried following this: https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/habv0q/fixing_linux_sd_card_reader_issues_inputoutput/
but it didn't change anything

Does anyone have any idea?

EDIT:
I used the wrong fdisk command. I used /dev/sdg1 as opposed to /dev/sdg which is the actual drive. Here is the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdg:

  • @BentiGorlich please post the output of the following command:
    df -T

        Check for Errors: Run a file system check on the exFAT partition to identify and repair any potential filesystem errors.

        $ fsck.exfat -y /dev/sdg1

        Try mounting the SDcard with different mount options. Create a directory where you want to mount the card, and then use the mount command with specific options. For example:

        $ sudo mount -t exfat -o ro,umask=000 /dev/sdg1 /mnt/sdcard

        This mounts the SD card as read-only (ro) with a more permissive umask. Adjust the options as needed

        • sudo fsck.exfat /dev/sdg1
exfatprogs version : 1.2.1
/dev/sdg1: clean. directories 5, files 8

          I tried unmounting and mounting it the way you said, still same problem...

          • Have you tried testing with a different make of SD card? Just in case it's the card....
