I had some 25 pictures in my Olympus Camera memory and connected it to the
PC USB. The led flashed and everything seemed to be okay. But when I should
open the pictures, nothing was there. When I should redo the process, camer=
a
memory card was erased.

This happened once, and once only, and after that it was all okay again.
Strange things happen in the digital world.
