If the content you are referring to is currently stored on the memory card, then it may be the issue of a corrupt SD card. You will then require a card reader to try and extract as much as you can to the computer and then format the SD card (first with the computer and after with the camera). You can recover any missing photos using a free recovery software called "Recuva".
