images apparently not recorded to SD card?

Last night I took about 10 to 15 shots and even reviewed them on my LCD screen. Today when I went to download them to my computer, the image files weren't there.

 

I'm guessing one of two things happened:

1. The images I saw on the LCD were only saved into the built-in camera memory and NOT onto the card.

 

or

 

2. They're on the SD card but somehow hidden? I know that there's a program that allows you to find hidden (or previously deleted) images/files from flash media cards. I forget the name of it at the moment, however.

Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. In my case, I was able to get the images by switching the camera's USB mode to mass storage, then manually transferring the images. 2 out of those 10 were unable to load due to a file error, but luckily I didn't need those. Hopefully this will work for you.

 

I love this camera, but I have to admit that I'm getting a little annoyed with these kinds of issues (timer release exposure bracketing is also freezing up the camera). Good luck!

thanks!

yeah, my only issue has been with file-related things like this (and/or writing and/or SD card type of issues).

 

So what do you mean switch to mass storage...where is that setting? I'm on a Mac.

Have a look at rescue pro. There is no built-in camera memory -just a buffer and it holds about 7 to 8 images. So if you had 15 it must be an SD card error. Or was it write-protected?

Fishblimp,

 

Did you try to download directly form the camera or did you use a card reader?

[fishblimp]

From a card reader. Also, I put the card back in camera but images weren't viewable there either though older images were.

OK,

 

Are you sure you are using a SD card and not a SDHC card?

The SD card reader will not work for SDHC cards.

 

I thought I had ordered a SD card and was sent an SDHC card instead. I found that none of my card readers would upload and that's how I diagnosed the problem.

 

Then I went to a well known camera store and asked for a SDHC card reader and the guy told me they were all the same. He was wrong and I went somewhere else!
