Memory Card

On vacation, put my memory card into a different camera and it says there are no photos?

I have a Canon Digital Rebel Xsi and had a memory card packed with photos in it. The camera’s battery ran out and I forgot to put the charger, so I put my card in my dad’s Nikon D40x and it says there are no photos on the card?! I’m on an old computer with no memory card slot so I can’t check on there.

Any idea what happened? Is it because the camera doesn’t recognize pics from another camera, or are the photos gone? Can they be recovered?

That is right. Don’t worry, the photos are still there, but you cannot expect different cameras to “see” image files shot with another camera model, especially a different brand.

For under $10 you can buy a USB 2.0 card reader and copy your images to any computer you like.

You will notice that the image files your camera produces are called IMG_1234 and your dad’s are called DSC_1234

While they are both JPEG files, the different naming conventions preclude your dad’s camera from seeing them
