I have no idea what happened today.

I shot 3 jobs and there are files missing from each of them and I can't figure out what happened.
It seems to be randomly renumbering files.
The screen shot shows files in the order they were taken yet the file names are not consecutive.
Just like the other jobs, lots of files got overwritten.
This is maddening as I waited literally weeks for good weather and drove long distances to get these done.
Now I need to reshoot all the jobs and blue skies are not in my forecast for a long time.

I tried to use some disk utilities to recover the files that might still be on SD card but they were overwritten/corrupt and not able to be recovered.
This is a Mavic 2. File naming set to continous. SD card never removed from Mavic after 1st photo of day.
And the renumbering shown here is same flight.

Note file numbers from 90's to 70's and then to 60's! 0068 and 0069 were the last 2 shots of the day...

totally perplexed and frustrated.

I would try formatting the card and doing some tests and failing that I would replace the SD card.
