My photos are being saved in the "Other" category
On my iPhone 5 iOS 8.4, I have 4.4 gb for my photos under settings. On itunes when i go to sync the photos are only 436 mb. While the "other" tab is a whopping 6.5 gb! Why is my phone saving/ displaying my photos in the other tab? Is there anyway to restore them to be back on the photos section. I already restored my phone multiple times and it still won't work.
More info if it helps: iTunes latest version, iPhone 5 iOS 8.4, and Windows 7.
