Best Practices for Photos Xbox?

I have had a couple of instances in the past where the photos (and paint from reference pictures) that I take all turn black. Once it was associated with an Error Code 0 and destoryed my save file, but another time it didn't. 

Does anybody know what the "best practice" for handling the photos is so that this never happens again? Or where, exactly, the files go on an Xbox when I take a photo? Why would the photos turn black, and is there anything I can do to prevent it? 

I see that the Life and Death pack relies a lot on photos so I'm a little apprehensive about what might happen.
