Can't remove images from camera canon t4i

gobuffs98 — Sat, 04 Jul 2015 22:24:14 GMT

Hello,

I have removed plenty of images in the past. My last set of images rolled over img_9999.cr2. When I plug the camera into the pc I can see all the images up to img_9999.cr2 and get them off the camera. I can see images after that on the camera, but not when plugged into the pc. I thought the numbers would roll over to img_0001.cr2. Also new photos taken are not recoverable.

Thanks,

Glenn

I'm using windows 7.

I found the issue. Another folder was created with the images in it, 101CANON.

Thanks.

I see this issue with folks that for some reason like to keep images in their camera on their SD card. My grandpa , for one, does that. If you will just get into the habit of saving the files elsewhere this is not an issue.

Glenn,

I strongly recommend you don't use a large SD card. Instead use several smaller ones. I used to use only 8GB but now I mostly use 16GB. Just because they got so cheap.

But keeping a lot of photos on one huge 32GB or 64GB is asking for trouble. All my shots are put on the computer after every shoot or outing. You only have to loose a once in a life time image to get into this habit. At least u/l them to your computer everytime if you see a benefit in keeping large numbers of files on the camera's SD card.

Of course if you shoot video this doesn't apply and you want a big SD card.

If you upload your image files to a computer after every day's shooting, and if your workflow includes a prompt, well organized backup of the computer, you have nothing to fear from using a large memory card.

My dear Bob from Boston, you need to get out more and see how some people use their cameras. My three oldest granddaughters use their Rebels like a cell phone. The only place a photo resides is in the camera. They keep tham there and they show them there! So does my daughter-in-law.

The word "workflow" does not exist. I doubt if any of them ever uses a computer. They all have ipads.
