Did the battery recharge erase all my pics, even from the Memory Card?

lease Help! I was on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy and was taking tons of photos. When the battery went dead, I took it out, charged it and when I replaced it, the camera said that there weren't any images. I have a huge memory card in so if they were written to the memory card, then that is awesome, but I have no idea how to get them from the memory card to my computer. Are those pictures lost or are they on the card? And if by some miracle, they are still on the card, how to I download them to my computer?

1) The images are almost certainly still on the card.
2) The first thing to try is resetting your camera. Check your users manual for "reset" or "initialize" and follow their instructions. If you don't find anything in the manual then try this generic method -- remove the battery and leave it out of the camera for at least 10 minutes. Then replace the battery and turn the camera on and try it.
3) Another option in this situation is to buy an SD card reader $10-20. It does require that you remove the SD card from the camera. Plug the card reader into your computer's USB port, then plug the SD card into the reader. You should be able to drag and drop the files. OR even better than drag and drop is download Picasa2 free from Google. It will transfer your pictures and keep them organized. It also has a lot of other useful functions all of which are easy to learn.
4) If these methods have not worked for you then you may have to go online and download the F-recovery software (or something similar) and use it to restore those hiding images and transfer them into your computer. Here is the URL

Thanks so much Larry! I did use a card reader and used a recovery program and was able to get at least half my pictures back. I will still try your other suggestions when I get to my home computer. But I'm so happy to have gotten at least half the trip back. T hanks again!

Hurray!! I'm so glad for you! And thanks for letting me know, too. I get a real kick out of finding out that I helped someone out of a tight spot, and saving once-in-a-lifetime photos has got to be top of the line for a successful operation.
