Answer 1

Memory cards are easily corrupted and need to be handled with care. Try downloading a file recovery application that may have a chance of getting the files back. Try this http://www.piriform.com/recuva they also have so other free very useful tools.



Be warned, do not buy cheap memory cards, I have had no end of problems from people who have had corrupt cards that appear to be write protected, or have lost all the files because they only paid a few dollars for their cards.



If your data is important don't risk it to cheap storage.

How ? Two reasons...

#1 9 times out of 10 when you "loose" a file of some kind, it's "operator error"

as in "I pushed the wrong button"

#2 Electric devices do malfunction, however, camera's place the photos on

an SD card, from which you download to a file in your computer and if the

SD card is a good card ( electronic devices do malfunction) you have

to deliberately delete those files to remove them from the card...or you

might do like some people and put a new OS in their computer and take

pictures without reformatting the card for W7 and when they do, they

loose all the files on the card (still "human error")

It sounds like you might have a little experimenting to do, as in taking some pictures of things that don't matter and repete the process till you find what caused the error so it won't happen again...or get a camera...
