Recover Lost Photos on a Nokia Phone

Q: I took some pictures with my Nokia Windows Phone but an error occurred, and now all the photos are missing--are they lost?

A: It's likely they're not lost. What actually happened is the media library that you use to browse consists of a database, and the entries for the pictures have been lost. If you connect the Phone to a PC and browse the content, all the pictures should be available, and nothing is lost.

Another option is to tell the Nokia Camera application to search for photographs:

  1. Open Nokia Camera application.

  2. Open Settings.

  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the Settings page, and click the Find photos and videos shot with Nokia Camera link. This will force a search and should find your missing pictures
