Unrecognised file format - Digital Camera

Hi I have pictures on my digital camera and because I took them sideways when I plugged them into my pc I got each of them up and rotate them around to the right way. Now when I try to view them through the camera it says 'unrecognised file format' and a black screen behind with no picture at all. Any idea how I can get these pictures back?

re-import them into the PC - you'll be able to view them just fine . . . .

Bit late now, but import them onto the PC first before doing any changes. The digi camera is a limited beast when it comes to processing.

Did you save them back to the memory card in the rotated format? That might explain why the camera no longer recognises them.

For future reference. Leave the image files on the camera memory card alone. If you want to play about with them copy the images to the hard drive of the computer. Then remove the camera card from the computer completely.

Only ever manipulate the copies on the computer. That way if it all goes belly up you still have a working original on the camera memory card to go back to.
