So I went to the beach today to shoot some offshore powerboat racing. I was using a Canon 40D and a 4GB card.
I got some killer shots, so I thought, and took the card down to about 15 shots before I left. Everything seemed normal.
I get home and pop the card in the reader to view on my mac and only half the pictures show up
I see that the last picture to show up is #9999
So I'm guessing it has to reset or something. I didn't see any message and it kept taking pictures as opposed to locking up and getting an error message and it kept counting down the pictures.
I'm bummed because the best shots are missing ( race shots ) so I'm wondering what happened and if there is a way to recover the shots.
