I just got back from Fl and took out my 128 GB SanDisk from my Canon 80D. When I put it in my computer I'm getting a error message of "You need to format the disk in drive "F" before you can use it. I put it back in my camera to see if I can see the pictures and I get a message of "Card cannot be accessed/change the card or format card with camera. Before I took the SD card out I could see the pictures on my camera but now I can't. Is there a way to get my pictures of the SD card or are these lost?
Thanks

The message sounds like a card error. When you first use a card, or when you want to clean it of existing images, it is important to do a format of the card IN THE CAMERA, not on a computer that may have some differences in the way some of the formatting works. If you get error messages about a card, do a low-level format of the card in the camera (it's an option) - you should not have to do that every time you format.
As mentioned avoid micro SD cards with adapters, they can be very problematic. Make sure your cards are not cheap copies of brand units - get your cards from a trustworthy source.
