SD card randomly wiped itself

I just got back from a concert, I checked the photos from my camera, the SD card has fully wiped itself empty. Although when I checked in the car before we left on the way back, everything was on there. Gutted because there were good videos and photos on there. Any advice?? I’d really like the get all the photos and videos back.

Move the switch on the card to make it read only. Don’t use this card in the camera anymore. Buy a new card to use going forward.

Connect the card to a card reader, and the card reader to a computer. You might see your files this way. If not, try some photo recovery software.

Don’t write anything else to the card and grab Recuva or DMDE, you’d be surprised what comes back from these things.

If the card is recognized by the computer, there is a chance they can be recovered with software. If the card is not recognized by the computer, then a data recovery service is your only option.
