Welcome to Android Central! If those photos and videos are saved to the microSD card, then getting them out of the phone and off the card as soon as you can is probably the best thing to do, since the card might get progressively corrupted. Unmount the card (in Settings>Storage), remove it, and insert it into your computer's SD reader. Use Windows Explorer--can it read the card? If so, back everything up now to the hard drive. Then run chkdsk to look for bad sectors: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html
