Have you ever saved them in your SD card? You can set the priority storage location to internal storage

I noticed the same thing IF I didn't format the SD card or used in the SD card in another phone before. it's as if it won't write to it. it reads from it fine. Even if I set it to internal storage it won't save a pic until I format the SD card
