Duplication of photos!

When I take a photo using the camera it saves 4 duplicate copies of it. When I transfer a photo or download it from web, the photo is duplicated 3-4 times. If I remove the duplicate copies sparing one photo, it removes all the copies of the photo. So,
it's like there's no photo or duplicate copies of photos. This is happening on my Lumia 620. Help!!
