Re: Picture corruption???
Most likely, your picture directory on your SD card is now corrupt. This happens mostly due to power state issues. If your phone was powered-off while you had the camera open, or during any data activity, such as editing/opening an image, you can lose the entire directory.

This has me thinking... when you format a card using Pocket Mechanic, it asks you if you want to create a back-up copy of the FAT--and that seems like it would be a solution to our data corruption... Most of the time, the FAT is what is corrupt, not the images themselves...
