I have a Kodak EasyShare C180. Earlier today, I was taking pictures of my friend, but when I went to review the pictures, there were question mark icons, and the screen said something like, "format not recognized." I thought it might have been an error and turned my camera off for a few seconds, and turned it back on. Lo and behold, all but two of my photos were gone. Strangely enough, the amount of space left in the memory card stayed the same. Does anyone know what happened and how/if I can restore the pictures?
You can do a Google search for FILE RESTORATION UTILITIES
but there has to be information to restore in order for the utility to work. Whatever went wrong with your camera may have caused the information to never be recorded.
I've owned a lot of Olympus and Fuji Digital cameras and never had that happen. It sounds like maybe you didn't format the memory card before using it... or it could just be a cheap junk brand memory card. Or you could have accidentally put the camera close to a magnetic source...like a refrigerator motor.... which would erase or scramble the photos. Probably a dozen different weird things could have happened.
