<p>I wanted to add fuel to the fire. I have shot quite a few sessions since this mishap and even with a new internal battery, every time I change the battery My camera wants me to reset the date and time. I think I just need to send it in to Canon :/</p>

<p>Hi William. Thank you for your response. I never did recover them and did a reshoot for the client. She was very understanding. Canon, really had no answer, but said the reset could have been from a weak internal battery :/ I have shot several other sessions since and everything seems back to normal. I did not rule out the possibilities of accidentally formatting, although you're right it is a few steps. Whatever happened, I think the biggest mystery is why wasn't I able to recover the first 30 minutes of her session but all the rest. I may never know.</p>

Thanks. The thing about this situation is I had no idea it happened until I got home since we had viewed some of the lost photos on the card earlier. I just went about shooting and sharing for an hour and a half :/ I went out today and got another backup battery. Any thoughts it might be the card?</p>

<p>I do shoot with two bodies during a wedding, so that would have helped some yes, however in this case it was 30 minutes of images lost, that's an entire ceremony that maybe would be gone and only have partial on the 2nd. :/ I have had a malfunction of my gear before and always have 3 bodies with me just in case. This weird situation , it was like nothing was wrong. I shot, shared some with my client, shot some more, etc and never even knew anything was wrong until I got home and looked at the images. I actually considered a 1D before for that exact reason, but chose the 5D instead. Thanks.</p>

<p>There is only one and it is 100EOS5D that's it and my numbers aren't continuous anymore. I will try a recovery while in a separate card reader and see if that helps. My husband called Canon and they said maybe a fluke circuit issue, but that should affect the card just the resetting. My biggest worry is, what if that wasn't a portrait session but a wedding? That would be 30 minutes of images gone. I cannot take that chance.</p>

<p>The images should have actually started in the 5000s. It is very strange because the images were written on the card. Only one folder is on the card with images starting at 0001 (which is why I assumed a reset of the camera somehow but turning off the camera won't reset the number system). Even if some really dumb reason I formatted while shooting (which I didn't) I would be able to recover them. It's like they don't exist at all.</p>

<p>I have a 5D MKii and yesterday during a shoot my camera apparently reset 30 minutes into my session and every photo I shot to that point is gone. I ran a recovery twice and can't get them back. I know they were there because I was showing my client the images along and along. The first image on the card was reset to #0001. Stressing bad. : (</p>

RAW, RAW and RAW!

I am also booked in 09 already, January. I think it's great brides plan ahead. I also feel VERY obligated to state that the deposit is not refundable. Sadly lots of things can happen in a year. Hasn't happened to me bu I've heard stories!

LOL. Hey Elaine! Can't wait to dig in!

Just joined Photo.net and haven't had much of a chance to look around at what's

here. Spend some of my time on DWF and Flickr. Any good areas to check out?

Love to hear from you!

I went to my first one this year. You can contact other wedding vendors and just ask. It is usually posted in the paper or local magazines too. I have pictures of my first setup in my Flickr through my blog. I had so much fun!
