LG G7 Camera not saving pictures, must reboot to work again?

[IrvSp]

Not sure what is going on? I'm saving pictures to the SD card and it has plenty of room? If I reboot the phone it works again without deleting anything. A few days later it happens again? I open the camera, take a picture (on Auto or Manual, doesn't matter), hear the click, if flash is on, it flashes, but the picture never shows in the Gallery thumbnail next to the button??? Going to the Gallery itself doesn't show the picture either?

However, all I have to do is turn off and on the phone and it works, until the next time it happens?

Any suggestions? I've 'cleaned' the cache and extra files and that doesn't help?

Try to save them to the internal storage. Maybe there is something wrong with the SD card

Hmm, I didn't think of that?

I've had the phone since July and the problem started late Sept? Worked fine up until then.

I'll switch it over to Internal Storage and see what happens. Think I'll take out the card and check it on a PC as well. If the card has a problem I'll take care of it with CHKDSK or get a new one I guess? Wouldn't think it was the card though as rebooting makes it work again?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll be back if that doesn't fix it...

I took the SD card to the PC. It said it needed to be fixed. I let it run and after awhile it came back and found no problems? Odd? Anyway I've put it back in the phone and reset it to SD card. I'll see if it happens again. If it does, will switch to Internal and see if it happens again. I'll report back if it does happen on Internal... Not sure I trust the SD card now since Windows couldn't use it as it said it had a problem but it didn't find any when it was fixing it?

Same problem.
How do you change to" save to internal storage"?

Go to the Camera app, in its settings, under Storage.

After I 'fixed' the SD card via my PC it worked for a few days, but came back and had the problem twice rebooting each time. The card was an older 2GB card. I purchased a newer 128GB card and so far that card seems to be working fine, although not heavily used yet.

I also put a 64GB card in my wife's G7 which had none and enabled it to use the card. We'll see what happens with her phone as well.

Format?

i have the same issue. All my pictures are on my SD card and I can access them, but when I take a picture saved to the SD card, it is nowhere to be found although SD is set as default. Saving to Internal works great - so as much as I don't want to I am going to save and reformat the SD card. When I change it to SD card save setting, it is fine for one picture, then it resets itself to Internal.
