D750, Accidentally turned on the movie button, can it create a new folder or erase pictures taken prior automatically
I am taking pictures and half way thru I accidentally hit the photo/movie button.
I see a 1.7 number at the bottom right corner of the screen, I hit the info button and several rows of pictures appear, I hit it again and the calendar appears, I switched back to photo. and shut the camera off to avoid and issues, so I thought.
I did not erase anything as I did not want to chance anything.
I continue to shoot, I have a 64 GB card and the backup is a 32GB.
I have it set for overflow to go to the second card.
When I got home and downloaded to LR, all the pictures taken before I made the error switch to movie mode were gone except for a few protected images that I have on the card.
I even used a card reader to see if it was a camera to LR issue or a new folder was set up that I could not find, the pictures are not there either.
Is it possible that the movie mode erased all the photos that I shot?
That makes no sense. I did not see an erase message appear nor did I erase any pictures at the event.
I cannot believe that they erased, can they be hidden somewhere or can they be recaptured if they were erased.
Is there a way to see how many folders,if any, are on the card, IOW's is there a setting on the camera to show folders?
It was an event that I did a favor for, no monetary reward but still it is embarrassing.
I would say that about 50 pictures are missing/erased.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

That is baffling as the card should have saved the MOV separately. Sorry.
I would use the Nikon program to search out the card. If that didn't work, try a program such as "Recuva" to recover all your files.
I use LR, so please forgive me for asking "What Nikon program" would that be ?
If you have a Windows computer, pop the card into the reader, go to "Computer" or "My Computer" find the card reader on the window and look for a folder - probably called "Nikon D750". Open this folder and you should see all the folders and files on the card.
I guess you can do the same on a Mac but I cannot tell you how.
Just taking a stab in the dark here... You said you got home and "downloaded to Lightroom". Is it possible that LR does not recognize MOV files, or that you need to change a setting for it to do so? You might want to try copying all the files on the card to whatever device you use for long term storage (external drive, internal drive, CD, etc.) Doing so should copy all types of files.
Sorry for the late response, I traveled to a Camera store that had retrieval software.
Here is the frustration:
They were able to retrieve images that I took 2 days before that I erased BUT the 40 images I took before I had the MOV issue were not on the card.
All I can think of is that with the Camera getting stuck in the calendar mode and me shutting off the camera and pulling the battery to get a reset that it eliminated the images from that date that was on the calendar mode.
As I stated above, I have a card reader and I did try that approach and they were not there either.
I appreciate everyone trying to help with ideas and suggestion, I guess I have exhausted all options,
Thanks,
Greg
