Memory cards don't have display screens, so they can't by themselves show anything. :) So, it sounds like you're saying that you only see 9 photos both looking with software on the computer (with the card in a card reader?) and using playback on the camera itself. Was there a point when the camera's playback did show all 100 that you expected to be there, or did you not check until the end of the day? If you open the card as a generic storage device on your computer, does it show any other files? | |
| Nov 25, 2012 at 11:35 | comment | added | G. Brown | "it" refers to the memory card. The memory card only shows 9 pictures when I open it on the computer, and only 9 when I go to the "preview" setting on the camera. I am obviously a novice, and I apologize. This is not a long term storage. I upload any pictures I take at the end of the day. At the end of this day, only 9 showed up. My battery died, perhaps I should have mentioned that? I use Photoshop Lightroom 2 to upload and edit pictures. I use a Mac. And Itai, I will try your suggestion later. | |

| Nov 24, 2012 at 17:35 | comment | added | Itai | JoanneC - Good point. Unfortunately I know some very successful photographers that run their own studios that do that. Guess if you are used to keeping films in a vault, it is an easy transition to do the same with SD card. They might degrade faster though depending on storage conditions. | |
| Nov 24, 2012 at 16:26 | comment | added | Joanne C | I'm confused by the "I don't usually delete old photos" line. I would not be using the card as a long-term storage medium. Search the site for backup strategies that people use to protect your images. | |

| Nov 24, 2012 at 15:47 | comment | added | mattdm | What is "it" in "it only displayed 9 images"? The camera, or some sort of computer software? What are you uploading with? When you say you don't usually delete old photos, do you mean you expect them to accumulate on the card? | |
