Why do I keep losing photos - Lumia 640
Im enjoying my Lumia 640 but i have a recurring issue that is ruining it for me. I bought a Samsung 32gb micro sd for it. I took many photos on the phone over a month or so. Then randomly a group of them will just appear as black/grey squares. They still appear in the camera roll but there is no picture. The first time it happened I moved all pictures to my laptop and formatted the card whilst in the phone. Today i have noticed it has done it again and a group of 20 or so pictures in the camera roll have turned to blank squares. I have put them onto my laptop. The blank pictures still have a file size that i would expect but no picture. When i try to open these files on the laptop windows 10 tells me it cant open this type of file, despite the fact they are windows phone jpegs just like the ones that do ope., very confusing. Could it just be a bad SD card? Any help appreciated as ive lost some nice pictures of the kids on days out etc..
