Pictures won't save to SD card

I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to save the pictures I take on my Incredible on the SD card. It is set to save them there from the camera settings, but they aren't. I can see all of my older pictures that were already on my SD card, but anything I take with the Incredible gets saved in the "camera shots" folder. When I plugged the Incredible into the computer, I could see the pictures that were already on the SD card, but non of the new pictures in the "camera shots" folder are there. I feel like I'm missing something, because as far as I know, it is set to save to the SD card. Even downloading the Asrto app didn't help. That doesn't even see the pictures saved in "camera shots". Help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem yet that has fixed it.

Couple of things I would try.

1) Try to see if you can locate the files on the phone storage via a PC USB to see if they're getting saved to the phone and not the SD card. (Disk Drive Mode on phone, then plug USB in PC)

-If they are saving to the phone memory then the camera save setting is screwed up.

2) Do a clean reboot, start the camera app, see what setting its on. Lets say it's on SD memory. Change it to phone memory, exit the camera app, now reboot. Open camera app and check what setting it's on.

-If it stayed on phone memory thats good, now set it to SD memory and repeat to see if the setting is staying after reboot.

3) Take a pic/vid with the camera set to SD card. Exit the camera app, and reboot phone. Go into the photos app and wait a few minutes for it to show up.

Are you using any camera apps from the Market? Or task killing the camera app? If so don't and see if this is the problem.

I have photos on my SD card in this directory:

DCIM\100MEDIA

My camera settings are set to save to the storage card.

I have the same directory on my SD card and my camera has always been set to save to the card...it just doesn't.

I find that when you set the camera to save to the SD card, the photos are saved to the SD card in a directory "dcim/100MEDIA". However, when you go to view the photos, they show up in the "camera shots" listing. Now the kicker. If you delete the photos from the SD card, they dissappear from the "camera shots" as well. I think the program listing is attempting to distinguish between photos that were imported from those actually taken by the internal camera.
