I ran into a similar problem today using an SD card. I think the issue was that I inadvertently had a "\" in the file name - what I assume is an unacceptable character. My story is the same, the camera acted like it saved normally, didn't throw a warning, and I didn't realize my mistake until I put the card into my computer and realized the file wasn't there. If there were a confirmation that the file saved, or a way to show files in the current folder, it would be very useful in my opinion. Thanks!

The file might still be there and recoverable using any system other than windows to look for it. If you don't want to install Linux or don't have a MAC use a live System booted from USB.

That was a good thought. I tried from Live Boot running Ubuntu, but still couldn't find the lost video files. Thanks though!

Hello again. During the last days I had two times where all shots from a day seemed to be lost again. I am using a SSD connected to the eSata port to save the DNG files, shut down the camera with the SSD connected, then unplugged it and mounted it on a Windows 10 PC. The whole days folders weren't listed. I did a Scandisk, after that all was there. A really scary moment. Is there anything I might do wrong? Anyone else having such issue? Thanks!
