Help: Invisible Pics on CompactFlash Card
Searcher7
card.
I took about a dozen pics and took the card out and inserted it into
my reader so I could transfer the pics to my desktop.
Unfortunately, for some reason even though I could scroll through all
the pics while the card was still in the camera only certain pics now
show up in the folder when in the card reader.
Basically, I cannot transfer what I cannot see.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is,.as well as a solution?
Thanks a lot.

Any chance you have the camera set to .jpg+RAW? The .jpgs will show,
but the RAW files will not unless you are opening them with something
that reads RAW. When I stick a card with 100 RAW images on it in my
card reader, my Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard pops up to tell me
there are no files on the card. I close that and go to Bridge to open
them.

What do you mean, "go to Bridge to open them."?
There were a few pics already on the card. Then out of about a dozen
more I took, the first four did show. But not the others.
I tried taking a half dozen more pics, and they show up on the camera,
but not when the card is plugged into the reader.
I didn't change any camera settings during all this.
Thanks.

It might be a faulty card, so try a different one in the camera.
Sandisk cards usually come with a "recovery" program on a mini-cd, so if you
still have it, give that a try.

Bridge is an Adobe program that opens RAW files. It's part of the
Photoshop CS program.
If you do have your camera set to .jpg+RAW, you will get two images
every time you press the shutter. One will be a RAW image, and one
will be a .jpg image.

Browse in Win Explorer to see the folders which may exist. Then open the
last folder.

If you forego the usual 'transfer software' and simply mount the card in
the reader as a mass storage device, you should see all the files on the
card.
