I am trying to copy off the photos on an Iphone 5S for a friend. I plug the phone into my windows 10 PC, file browse to the phone DCIM folder, I can only see 3 photos. On the phone it tells me there is 3500 photos which I can see on the phone. 

 

I tried using Itunes, clicking on the photo folder in Itunes gives me the message Icloud phots is turned on.

 

I tried accessing the phone from a Linux live distro, I still see the same 3 photos I see in windows.

 

Any hand hints on why I can't access all the photos on the phone?

Just an update.

 

Fortunately all photos on the phone had uploaded to Icloud so was able to rescue all photos from there. The user had payed for extra storage space in icloud as the phone was only 16GB iphone, there was 36GB of photos. The phone had been set to upload all photos and left with a viewable small image on the phone.
