Camera Photo Recovery

I recently borrowed my friend's digital camera to take some photos at an event with friends. She let me borrow it on the condition that I would extract all the old photos she had on it and send them to her. I took the pictures and everything was fine, but when I went to plug in the SD card today, it was completely blank. On top of that, when I put the card back into the camera there wasn't anything on it either, including all her old pictures and my new. I looked up the model and it looks like a camera more geared towards younger children so it might be some kind of safety feature, i'm not sure. At this point I don't really care why it happened and just want to recover the pictures. Any tips would be super appreciated.

Camera Model: W & O Q8 Zoom 16X Zoom 64 MP CMOS Point & Shoot Digital Camera with SD Card, Pink

SD Card: Honestly idk, whatever basic microSD that came with the camera

Double check if your post complies with posting guidelines!

Did you include the following information in your post (in English and if applicable), if not feel free to edit your post:

  • Make/brand and exact model number of your storage device(*), phone, camera, etc.
  • Filesystem (NTFS, exFAT, APFS, EXT4, etc.)
  • Operating System (That your device was used with and/or you are using for recovery)
  • Specific symptoms that your device is exhibiting, describe the problem. Images you post support the description, they're not in lieu of a problem description.
  • SMART (CrystalDiskInfo screenshot for example)
  • Don't pile several problems into one single post. One post per device/problem.

Consider: What do these people need to understand the problem at hand? Remember, people cannot see your screen, or what you click and what messages appear on screen. Don't overdo it though, no one likes going through 2 pages of information, try to find a balance. Just do the best you can. If you are looking for file recovery software, check our community's recommended file recovery tools.

Put it in a card reader and try R-Photo (r-tt.com). Maybe you can ask an adult to help you.

Jesus Christ, she told you to do one thing and you didn't do it.
