Retrieving pictures from memory card?

Question

I have a bunch of pictures on my memory card. When I insert the memory card into my laptop and open the folders, I am only seeing about 3/4 of them. My most recently taken pictures are not showing up in the folder, however, I am able to view them directly on my camera from the memory card. Is there some sort of setting that may be hiding those pictures?

Answer 1

I think all digital cameras now have an internal memory, that is the pictures are not saved to the memory card but are in the cameras own memory. This feature allows you to take a certain number of pictures without having a memory card, or when the card is full.....which may explain why your most recent pics are not on the memory card.

Probably the easiest way to get these pics to your computer is to use the programme that came with the camera, and then connect the camera to your computer with a USB cable. You will have to look in the settings of your camera, there may also be a way to move files from the camera memory to the memory card.

Good luck, hope this helps.
