[QUOTE="nickt, post: 185069, member: 4923"] My first thoughts on this were that something wrote those files to the card, but if you feel that is not likely, it could be corrupted files. I can't get a good feel for whats going on from the screenshots. There are free file recovery programs out there that work well. Make sure all files that you can identify as jpg are copied and then try a recovery program. Run that using a card reader rather than using the camera usb.
