Okay so was no vacation in Jamaica. I have a canon camera with a 2gb sd memory card. I took pics and a few vids for the first day or two.

The following day I was on the beach taping some musicians. All the sudden my camera said memory card full, switched cards and started using a nw one. When I went to look at my pics later there were just 2 pics nad a short 30 second video on the card. Even when I hook it up to my computer thats all there is.

I deleted all the pics I could see but my memory card hwen I plug it into my computer and go to my computer shows all red like its full and it says 344kb free of 972mb. This leads me to believe I still have a bunch of pics and vids on this card however I can not see them or import them.

I'm not great with computers but is there any way I can find these pics? What happenend are they just hidden or are the files kind of messed up or what?

Try testdisk and photorec (TestDisk - CGSecurity). They are free and should fix your problem.

Here how to recover your pictures:


You require the use of a card reader. Check to make sure that you didn't accidentally place the tiny locking slide switch on the side of your SD card in the "locked" downward position.
Take a look inside your camera's CF card slot. It's very likely that you may have a bent pin in there.
If not, please read here:

or

Hope that it works and you recover all your pictures.
