To my knowledge I didn't change anything. Started taking some pictures and got this on my stock camera roll. Only on some of the ones I took today, not all.

It's most likely due to your memory card, i remember some people had this issue with the S4 earlier.

Had this issue with the S4 due to memory card corruption. Have not had this issue with the S5 using the same card I had issues with using in the S4.

I have seen that when I had the camera configured for Portrait Mode in error and the flash was disabled, or was it turned on? Anyway, it was in the configuration menus.
I never use Portrait Mode, all of my stuff is landscape views of broken highways and bridges.

Yup, that is definitely corrupt files. I had issues with SD cards on the Note 2, the S4, and the Note 3. I guess Samsung hasn't learned and is still frying SD Cards on the S5. Is your card by any chance a SanDisk one? They seem to be the most affected.

PS: After my experience (and there was an article about it on AC, too, a while back), I STRONGLY suggest you never store your camera pictures on SD card and always try to back up to Google or Dropbox or at least your PC.

If it was built prior to 2003, SanDisk will replace it when you mention you have a Samsung device. If not, Samsung should be the one replacing it ¬¬ (But they won't).

Do you know if there is a way to get the pictures back via computer or anything? I bought a new card but have some pictures on the old one that I'd like to have.
