Has anyone seen the like of this before?
I was shooting 4 sessions at an event last weekend. Using Dual slots, 32GB in slot 1 as RAW, 8GB in slot 2 as JPG. After each session, I uploaded the contents of both cards onto a laptop, then replaced the cards in the camera and deleted everything. I didn't format the cards between sessions.
Sessions 1 and 2 were fine. Session 3 started at file number 9249 and went on to file number 0120 (I've seen the file numbers roll over like this before and have not had an issue before) After the session, I unloaded my cards, but didn't check what had been uploaded to the laptop. I then replaced the cards in the camera and deleted everything as normal. Session 4 went file with file numbers from 0121 to 0607.
When I got home and started to process the photos, I discovered that files 9249 - 9999 were missing. They had not uploaded to the laptop. 0001-0120 had uploaded as expected.
I used software to attempt to recover the files, however they're not there. The initial recovery form my 8GB SD card gave me 919 images, some of which are from earlier events and some of which were from session 3, however the earliest images from session 3 were not recovered.
Using another file recovery program, I can see the deleted file numbers on the card in the expected folder, however when checking the content of the thumbnails, the data/image seems to be of photos taken in session 4. There is no trace of most of the photos from Session 3.
On the 32GB card, the initial recovery software only recovered 17 files, however when using the second program it showed the same as the 8GB card (file numbers on the card, with the data/image seems to be of photos taken in session 4)
If I didn't know better, I'd think that the session 4 photos directly overwrote the session 3 ones.
The cards didn't fill up and had plenty of space.
I don't know if it's a camera or a card issue. Both uploads are missing the same file numbers, which could indicate camera, but the fact that I could look at some images while I was shooting indicates card issue... however both of the cards losing the same set of images???
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
