Camera pictures not saving

malcolmsu — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 20:02:35 GMT

I took half a dozen or so pictures today when I was out and didn't look at them until later in the day when I returned home.

The camera was in Superior Auto+ mode for some and in manual for the others. The camera was setup to save to memory card. I've had no problems with photographs up to today.

I could not find the photographs I'd taken. In the camera app instead of the pictures there were two black icons with a white jagged line across them. I couldn't find anything with File Commander. I tried taking some further test pictures and noticed that as it tried to save the pictures the orange spining circle thingy never went away. I switched to internal memory and there was no issue.

Any ideas? Corrupt memory card? It's only 6 months old...

@MalcolmS

That seems to be a corrupted SD card, settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart the phone > try to take another picture, it will be saved in the internal storage, then change the settings again to the SD card > take few more pictures > report back

Could you test your sd card on a computer?

Memory blocks have a maximum writings count. If you reach that limit, the card is gone.

Hi @MalcolmS, do they save correctly to the internal memory?

@MalcolmS, sounds like the SD card is the problem here. You might want to consider replacing it.

Concluded indeed that card is corrupt and it's now on its way back to Sandisk for replacement under warranty...

Same problem here, camera do not save pictures (internal memory or SD)

It's a Sony camera software problem - you can use some other camera software (like CameraMX) without picture saving problems.

Sony Xperia Z5 compact

Androit 7.1.1
