I went through the usual steps to load my photos into my computer using Picasa2 software. I made the fatal error of instructing the program to clear the images from my camera when done.... however, the photos seem to be missing from my computer. If I do not take any new photos with my Canon Rebel XTi camera, is there a way to retrieve my lost images? I have already exhausted all attempts to find the photos in the software/computer.
You can actually still keep taking photos with your camera without loosing the images. The XTi will never delete the images off a card unless you press the trashcan key and tell it to "delete all".
It's always good practice in these situations to have a memory card reader handy. You can pick up a compact flash reader for your XTi for about $14 at BestBuy or many other retaillers.
But to answer your question: Use the ZoomBrowser EX software that came with the camera. If your Picasa is set to automatically connect and download every time the camera is connected - temporarily disable it. That way it wont inturrupt Canon's software (which I prefer).
