Why aren’t my cropped photos showing on the SD card from my Nikon D3100?

I’m new to using a Nikon D3100. I took some photos and used the in-camera trim/crop function to make the subjects appear closer, but I can’t find the cropped versions on the SD card afterward. Do I need to confirm something to save them, and where would the edited files be stored?

With in camera editing Nikon cameras ask if you want to save changes and you need to press "ok" to save the image, did this happen? The other thing that will sometimes happen is a new file is made and you might not be able to access it on your camera. If you connect the camera to your PC go to "Computer" or "My Computer" on your PC, open your camera there and see if there are multiple files, check each file to see if it was stored in another place that you cant view on the camera its self.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
On Nikon cameras, in-camera trimming usually creates a new copy rather than overwriting the original photo. After editing, you normally need to confirm the save by pressing OK when prompted. If that step was missed, the edited version may not have been saved.
If you did save it, the cropped image may be stored as a separate file, so look for a new image rather than changes to the original. If you can’t see it in camera playback, connect the camera or SD card to a computer and check the card folders for additional image files.
In short: make sure you press OK to save, and then look for a newly created file on the card.
