The last 25 pictures I took on my camera deleted

I went to go use my camera and when I went to reveiw my pictures, the last 25 pictures deleted. Does any body know why or how I can get them back? These pictures were once in a life time and now I can't get them back. I have no idea why it did that. And it was just the last 25-30 pictures that deleted and all the rest are there. Please help

Hi Christina,
First of all, are you using a memory card? If you haven't already, I recommend trying to download the photos (using a card reader would be best); it's possible they are there but for some reason they aren't showing up when you review things on the camera. Just as an example, they might have formed a separate folder for some reason, which you would see if you downloaded the photos to a computer.

Second of all, check to make sure they're not in your camera's internal memory. To do this take out the memory card and then turn the camera on and hit the button to review photos. If they're in the camera memory they will show up at this point.

Hi Brenda,
I do have a memory card in my camera. I have over 500 pictures on it. It's just so weird that the last 25- 30 pictures I took are gone. I checked my internal memory and there not on there. I also downloaded on to my computer and they didn't show up there. Anything else you could think of? Thanks so much!

Hmm. Is it possible that your card was full during those last photos? Probably not, because it would have given you an indicator each time you shot that it wasn't saving, I'm assuming. Aside from that I'm really not sure, except maybe the memory wasn't functioning properly/ wasn't inserted properly... again, things that should have given you some form of indicator.

The only thing I can think of would be to delete the ones you can see and perhaps those others will come out of hiding - maybe they've scrolled off or overlapped into a new folder or something that you can't currently see. The problem is that deleting the ones you can see would have to be done manually, since 'delete all' or reformatting would also erase the invisible ones, if they are indeed there in any form.

Frankly, I'm kind of baffled; other than some kind of card error I don't know why they wouldn't have saved, and I'm almost sure you would have received a form of warning message if you were shooting but not saving to anything!

Not very helpful, I know.
