[QUOTE="insensible shrimp, post: 71444, member: 6525"] I have just got back from a week's holiday. Each day I have downloaded the images from the 16GB Verbatim SD card to a laptop in case the D5100 got lost and to view them. Yesterday when I did this there were no photos showing for 18/8/12, although I had been looking at them on the camera earlier - probably 100-200 images at a guess.. All the images for this day are missing. I know I didn't delete them. I have used Recuva software to confirm that there are no deleted files on the card. The card itself is fairly new. The camera is just over a year old. The spring which holds the card in place failed a few months back (annoyance!) and I did not judge it worth the repair cost which seemed disproportionate. Occasionally I get an error message on the back of the camera if I do not push the card in hard enough, but normally it works fine. I am at a loss to think why I have lost pictures for just one date. I did search for a photo taken on the 13/8 and take the rear screen back to the "date view", but even if I had inadvertently deleted shots from 18/8 they would presumably show up using Recuva. If the card had been corrupted and lost all images I could understand it. I have not used it to take any more photos in case I overwrite data which is there but somehow hidden, but I am not sure where to go next with this. It isn't a complete disaster - it was an "out and back" canal holiday, nothing exotic, so I had taken very simliar photos a few days back, but it is very frustrating and I am worried it could happen again if I don't know what has caused it. I would like to know if anyone has had a similar problem or any advice, please. [/QUOTE]
