I recently purchased a new D3400 and 128GB sd card (that had never been used in anything else), I was shooting in RAW only and all was going well until my 364th shot when all of a sudden I started getting the "Cannot Display This File" error message. 

 

After taking a shot I could see the image on the LCD screen but if I tried to go back and see it later I was only getting that message or seeing a red box with a cross. 

 

Upon opening the image in Capture NX-D it appears that something has gone wrong with the shot. 

 

Does anyone know how to a) resolve this and B) recover any of the other shots?

 

The only photo's of my daughters 2nd B'day are on this camera so I would massively appreciate any help you can provide.

it appears that there are other images on the card up until that point.  So, you should be able to copy those images off to your computer and save them.  You MAY be able to use some file rescue software to recover others (if there are any).  

 

Does the camera work with another card?  Does the card work in another camera?  For all we know based on the info provided, the camera may have broken or the card failed at that point.  I would certainly have more than one card (BTW, 128GB is LOTS of RAW or JPEG images).  Once you have recovered everything you think you can, I'd suggest putting the card back into the camera and reformatting...

 

Let us know how it works out or if we can assist further!

I would suggest the same things I suggested previously...put your card in a card reader and save any images you can fine.  Then I would suggest trying rescue software to see if you can recover any other files...then put the card back in the camera, reformat and test...
