Help with Olympus Master 2! Lost photos!?

Question

I have my pics in diff. folders like Disney and Mom and Dad and stuff like that and sometimes alot of the photos get lost. Sometimes all the pictures in one folder. It doesn't show a picture there and it's kind of "x"ed out and the picture can't be found. So I have to put the pictures in the folders all over again, which took up an hour of my time yesterday.

It says the pictures need to be re found of something. Why does it do this? I take a lot of pictures and this is really frustrating!!! What do I do?????? Please help!!!

Answer 1

It sounds like you aren't actually downloading them to your computer. Your software is seeing them (and creating a shortcut/link to them) on the memory card. Then, when you take out the card, the link is no longer valid.

The simplest and best solution is to buy a little card reader, then using simply Windows Explorer (or the Mac equivalent) to download it to your computer. leave the camera and the Olympus software out of it altogether.

Once they are downloaded, sort them into appropriate folders.

You'll have much less problems that way.
