When I was on holiday recently, I suddenly lost a half a day's pictures off the card!
Nothing too earth-shattering lost, but some nice to have ones as it was a new country for me.
I'd been taking pictures all day, of birds and scenery. Some nice views from an elevated hide too.
Walking along back a boardwalk we suddenly came across some of our 'targets' for the day (Bluethroat). It was then I discovered that only the very last image was on my camera card, nothing else. Rather a scary moment, in case all the pictures I was taking were deleting themselves.
I've not put this in the Fuji forum (it's an HS50 EXR), as don't know if it's related to the camera. But it's too long a job to simply delete all the images, so I couldn't have done it accidentally. Even longer to Format the card.
As soon as I got home I downloaded that day's pictures. Then changed the card for the spare one.
The next day we went into a camera shop and they looked at the card with some of their software but the images weren't there.
And bought a new card!
It didn't happen again.
Can anyone throw any light on what might have happened?
