I've lost a photo shoot twice. Photos appear during shoot, but later when I go to transfer them they are corrupted or disappear. This has happened with two different Promaster memory cards. I don't know how many shots are on the flash card, but it only shows 10 and nine are X'd out in red. Only the first picture is OK. Is there any way I can retrieve what is (or was) on the flashcard.

Hi,
It happened to me once. But not this serious.
This normally happens due to any inteference with static charges emitted by some electronic equipments.
I believe you are shooting in Nikon RAW format.
This is how I managed to retrieve some pics. (may not work always but worth a try).
Open the raw picture in PictureProject. Even when the file is corrupt, it sometimes shows proper picture.
If you save/ export to JPG it might look corrupt. In such case, the option I could think of is zoom into the pic (in pictureproject) take screen shots and finally stich them altogether to get a big picture (hence better resolution).
To avoid loss, keep the memory cards and camera away from gadgets with strong electromagnetic radiation.
If the problem persists, try a firmware update before taking it to the repair shop.
Hope it works,
Thanks for using FixYa.

I took your advice and went to a photo shop that could retrieve my photos. It cost $60, but I was grateful. I also left the camera to be sent for repair. Thanks. Clarke Davis
