thriller Posted October 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Everyone, Desperate help needed here and apologies in advance for any silly questions and lack of technical know how! My friend just purchased a Leica X1 and after a day's shooting we plugged the camera into the computer to upload the images. All seemed to go well, but we have since discovered that the images cannot be found anywhere on either the computer or the camera itself! Can anyone give me any idea what has happened here? I have a Canon G10 which saves things to the computer and still retains the images on the memory card until you prompt the camera to erase them, so this is all new to me. Does anyone know of a way to retrieve these images? I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad robot Posted October 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 4, 2010 I don't know if this will help, There is an option to delete photos from the original place while you are downloading them. Did you download through LR3, or though windows own process? If windows did it automaticly it might have put the photos into some place on your computer. Which version of windows are you using? I have windows 7, and sometimes photos are saved not in my pictures folder, but in a folder hidden with in "users". I would suggest you take some more random pictures, and plug the camera in, take it slowly and follow each step. Hopefully the computer will save these pictures in the same place, and also you can untick any options to delete from source. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted October 4, 2010 Share #3 Posted October 4, 2010 Welcome! Assuming your friend used Lightroom which was supplied with the camera. just look in the Metadata panel and refer to 'folder'. That is where the images reside. If other software was used, just search the HD for files taken within the time frame your friend shot pictures. You might also shoot one more picture, identify the file number, subtract one from it and search for that string. Let us know how you succeed. Good luck. They will be somewhere on your computer.

andybarton Posted October 4, 2010 Share #4 Posted October 4, 2010 Which operating system are you using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted October 4, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 4, 2010 And what software did you use? If Lightroom you should see a 'last import' selection on the left hand side of the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
