I am a long-time Photo Mechanic user (9 years) and love the product. However, I ran into a strange and disturbing occurrence this past Saturday while shooting a football game. I shot a long pregame ceremony followed by the first quarter. I then ran in and ingested my card of over 600 images. I returned at half time and quickly checked the folder to see if it had downloaded. I saw the beginning of the pregame and then I skipped to the game action where I proceeded to tone a few images.
I then ejected the card, formatted it and shot the second half. It was not until last night when I was processing the pregame photos that I noticed that I was missing some images. Upon further investigation, I found that I am missing exactly 250 photos from the middle of the pre game to the opening kick off of the game. Very strange.
I tried to recover the card but the second half more than covered up the pregame. I have searched my laptop to no avail. The folder has the files numbered from 0941 to 1253 and then from 1513 to 1818.
has anyone ever experienced anything like this? These were some important photos that I really needed and am in a bind. I am not optimistic, but if anyone has any suggestions please send them my way.
Thank you.
