When I take a picture, there will be know image. Black. I went into the "share" and the image is black. I kept my smart card and the other images are ok but the knew ones are black. Camera has power. I took the smart card off. Still the problem, black. Took the old images off and took some more shots. All black!! MMMMM?

Move it back again. Did you do any editing in the computer ? If so, the camera will no longer recognise the images on the card.

First make sure that the photos are not actually on the camera's internal memory and not shot on the card to start with. Do this by trying to look at the photos through the camera with the card out of the card slot. Next before taking anymore pictures try putting the card into a different computer and card reader. If it still shows up empty you can try several recovery softwares online for free, only paying for them after they have found your photos and are ready for saving. If that doesn't work if you have a local photo store still they will offer recovery service and recovery services are available from companies like DriveSavers.com. Be warned, it can be expensive.

If unused for any length of time, rechargeable batteries lose their ability to retain a charge. Try it with a brand new, fully-charged battery. FWIW, I recharge all my camera and flashgun batteries monthly.
