Silly question

[Jeff A]

I shot a group of photos and when I got home and removed the Micro SD card, it fell about 2 feet onto my hardwood floor. I heard it hit. After that the SD card decided to go to another galaxy far, far away. I stripped my office and cannot find it. Would the last photos taken be cached on the drone somewhere?

Not at the same quality, no.

At least it wasn't the dreaded, spring-action "across the room" flight of the SD card. That would be terrible — ASK ME HOW I KNOW!

I would keep looking for the card. I once had to take apart the center console in my car to retrieve one of these.

They were RAW files (.DNG) so they would be useless if found in a cache?

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't find DNG files in the cache, but I would wait around for confirmation from others.

Cache will only have low quality (resolution) jpgs. And low quality video

you can try to replicate the first drop and mimmick using another card but this time, try to watch how the card lands. also a bright LED light held parallel to the bare floor yields shadows from tiny objects. good luck

I've searched for for washers etc. for hours and found them much later in my shoe or cuffs.

I've put a pantihose sock over the nozzle end of the sweeper. Then run the sweeper, It will let dirt through but catch the miniSD card.
Also, your wife will thank you for sweeping.

Beat me to it! I was about to post that very thought.

So.... did you find it?

Several weeks later I was putting on my shoes (a pair I wear daily) in the living room. I got up from my chair and was heading out of the room when I spotted the Micro SD card on the carpet. I had looked in my shoes in the very beginning and again later when searching failed to locate the card. I have determined that Micro SD Cards are Diabolical! BTW, the SD Card was damaged and I could not retrieve any images off of it.

Those micro SD cards are pesky little suckers and aren't meant for the ham handed. I drop small things all the time so I know the ordeal you went through. I'm particularly tortured with small screws that I need to put stuff back together. What I found helps me find stuff on the floor and under desks, chairs, beds is a flashlight (no, not the one on my phone) that helps me focus on smaller areas and the low angle of the light often accentuates shapes that helps me find things from that other galaxy or dimension. On metal things other than electronics I often use a strong magnet to "sweep" the area, though I wouldn't dare try it looking for a ? computer chip .
