S4 thumbnails opens wrong image

[Andrew Morty]

Hi, I was using the camera burst shot feature to take several images. I can see all 12 pics in the gallery, however when I click on any of them they all open image 6.

Absolutely gutted as I was photographing a wild Rhino walking down to a watering holes in an African nature reserve.

The gallery Details says the image is located at storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera

The image I want also has a little Crown icon on the thumbnail in the bottom left corner.

If I navigate to the above location using ES File Explorer I can see the correct thumbnails however opening any of them brings up the correct image for 1 second before it jumps back to the wrong image again.

If I connect the phone to a laptop via USB, I can't see the storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera. If I browse to the sdcard and phone storage, i don't see all 12 images, only the 1 that keeps appearing for everything.

I have also tried Masterclean to get rid of any caches.

I also tried installing Cymera camera & gallery. Same issue, it displays all 12 correct thumbnails but if I try open any of those thumbnails, image #6 always opens instead.

Can anyone help please to recover these images?

Really hoping it's possible since the thumbnails are still visible.

Thank you

Dunno has gone wrong with this S4 software, only had it for a week, wishing I'd stuck to my old phone for reliability. :-/
