Missing media files (photo/video) after taking with Camera

I'm using an Xperia X with the f2fs filesystem on an external SD card.

I've never had a problem with this up until last week. There is no problem with the filesystem (I'm able to store other files there, and I've only used around 20% capacity of the 64GB SD card).

I have taken some photos and video, which appeared to be saved, but after reviewing in the Gallery, I see this: image description

Using the File Manager, when searching for the files (photo/video) in their respective directories, they are not there. Yet, the Gallery seems to hold some form of link to them.

Something must have happened at a specific date, because both photos and videos from that date are missing. Refreshing the media database from the Utilities menu, has cleared the ghost entries from the Gallery.
