Hi
@AnnaZ,
Glad to hear that you were able to retrieve the photos. Might I suggest running a check on the SD card? I'm not sure if it will show up on the version of Windows you have, but you should be able to do the following:
- Right-click on the SD card in "My Computer"
- Select "Properties"
- In the window that opens, select the "Tools" tab
- There should be an error-checking option - click "Check"
On my Windows 10 machine, it appears like this:
Also, when you open properties, just have a look to see if the reported size of the card matches what it should be after you've formatted it - i.e. your 64GB card should show up as 59.6GB in Windows... courtesy of a decision a decade or so ago to market products using 1KB = 10^3 = 1000 instead of the way computers treat storage space (which is 1KB = 2^10 = 1024). Ironically, I found this only made it all more confusing, since all operating systems report the size using the original (and proper) method, whilst product labels use the new one (cue a whole lot of people wondering why their 4.7GB DVDs only fit 4.37GB worth of data and their USB flash drives are never the capacity they're supposed to be...). And because of the way computers work (they use binary), there is actually no benefit in making it as 64GB = 64,000,000,000 bytes - it becomes a completely arbitrary number and an inefficient use of computer hardware addressing (end rant).
If your SD card does not show up with the correct capacity (about 59.6GB) then there's definitely something wrong with it.
