Pretty weird behavior..................................
Took a picture yesterday, tried to copy it to HDD and it disappeared without trace. Took another picture today and checked the boxes so it was copied to folder with a number added to the name. Today; opened file on the camera and it displays the picture that went missing yesterday - but any attempt to save it saves a copy of todays picture. |

Its a fairly old camera that probably didn't anticipate the smallest capacity SD card you can buy nowadays - I'll try it without and see if its still confused. |
