Hi @annswisher,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand. When photos do not appear after using an SD card, the issue is usually related to where the files were saved, how the card is read, or how Windows/macOS is displaying the folder. Please follow the steps below in order. These are safe and simple.

Step 1: Confirm the SD card is detected

Insert the SD card, then check:

On Windows (HP Notebook):

1. Open File Explorer
2. Click This PC
3. Look for a drive named: 
   • Removable Disk
   • SDHC
   • EOS / NIKON / DCIM

✅ If you see it, continue to Step 2
❌ If not, skip to Step 5

Step 2: Open the correct photo folder (very common issue)

Cameras always store photos inside this path:

SD Card > DCIM > 100MEDIA (or similar)

➡️ You must open the DCIM folder
Photos will not show at the top level of the SD card.

Step 3: Change File Explorer view (hidden files issue)

Sometimes photos are there but not visible.

1. In File Explorer, click View
2. Set Layout: Large icons
3. Click View > Show
4. Turn ON: 
   • ✅ File name extensions
   • ✅ Hidden items

Check again.

Step 4: Search the SD card (quick)

1. Click the SD card drive
2. In the search bar (top‑right), type: *.jpg

or 

*.png

1. Press Enter

If photos appear, they exist but were not visible in folder view.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
