Arrrgh! I lost all of my photos. I don't know why because everything looked fine.

I took the card out and put it back in, but but it works now and it saves the images.

And the power steering went out on my car on the way back. But UofK won. So it goes.

I know how you feel. Remember when I lost about 450 of my Iditarod shots last year? Some of my favorite pictures, too.

a momentary black out.

This camera has been around since 2010, so it could be approaching end of life.

Always upload to your computer or somewhere else, at least at the end of the day. I always cringe when I come across people that keep years of irreplaceable pictures on their cell phone or pocket camera, without ever backing them up anywhere.

I just went out and took a few dozen with that card and another card. Both worked.

I did notice some momentary black outs of the screen. I think my camera is dying.

The LCD blinking off is a concern.

I bought this camera back in 2010 and have gotten 10's of thousands of shots out of it. Maybe it is wearing out.
