Photos inaccessible on Sony DSC-T77 Cyber shot

Sony is one of the best known camera manufacturers. They are known for their quality, precision and most of all for their ability to make compact and easy to use cameras. The T-series cameras were the perfect example for how small the new generation of cameras could get!! Almost all the T-series cameras are pocketable yet extremely powerful.

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T77, launched about a year back (Sept. ‘08), is one of the newest in it’s league to hit the market. With a width of 15mm and weighing 151g, it has set a new standard for compact cameras. Being small doesn’t mean it’s not powerful enough!! It not only uses a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, but is also a 10.1 mega-pixel camera with a 4x zoom. Added to this is the fact that the camera has a touch-screen monitor. The camera uses a Memory Stick Duo media. As with all memory sticks, this one too isn’t free from damages!!! Sometimes it is sheer carelessness on our part which causes accidental photo deletion even from the best cameras in the world!! There are about a 100 things that can go wrong and you could lose you pictures for good! But losing photos does not mean losing hope! You should use camera recovery software to salvage pictures, videos etc.

Just Imagine, while you were out on your first college trip, you clicked a whole lot of pictures on your T77. You come home and your brother formats the card. Not intentionally, of course but my mistake. The bottom line is all your pictures, or should we say “memories”, are gone!!

Formatting is basically the process of getting any device ready to be used. During this process the drive sets up an empty file system. This is why when you format a card, it loses all the information stored on it. The information gets deleted automatically.

The first thing to keep in mind is NEVER take pictures using the same memory card after accidentally formatting it. To understand the reason for this precaution, you need to understand how the camera works—just simple basics. When you take pictures, the camera saves them on the file system of the memory card. This file system is what gets formated. Even after it is formatted, the old data on it is salvageable until it is overwritten. Taking pictures after formatting the card causes overwriting. This leads to permanent photo loss.

To get out of this horrible situation, use a camera recovery software. The software scan the camera memory card and perform camera data recovery. This means that not only sill pictures but videos, audio clips etc can also be recovered. Most of these software are easy-to-use and efficient. However, you must ensure that they are reliable software, many fabricated software cause further damage and leave the pictures non-recoverable.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery Software is a reliable and user-friendly camera recovery software which can salvage data from all kinds of cameras. It supports Sony, Nikon, Canon, Minolta and numerous other camera formats. The software also supports MIDI, JPEG, RAW, GIF, TIFF etc file formats.

How To Recover Lost Data from Your Nikon D3X DSLR

Nikon D3X digital SLR comes with EXPEED processor, 24.5 megapixel 35.9 x 24 mm CMOS sensor, a 3 inch 920,000 dot LCD monitor with live view, 51-point autofocus, ISO 100-1600, compatible with DX lenses, automatically masking viewfinder, multi-CAM3500FX Auto Focus sensor, Scene Recognition System, HDMI HD video output, and UDMA-compatible memory card double slot. The camera takes pictures at the rate of 7 fps in NEF, NEF+JPEG, TIFF and JPEG file formats which are stored in CF cards.

Your CF cards should be handled with care, because they easily get logically damaged causing data loss. Data thus lost cannot sometimes be recovered by a built-in data backup facility on your computer. Then you need to use some powerful Camera recovery software

Suppose, you have accidentally pressed delete or format button while you are viewing your photos on your camera. Or you have by mistake unplugged your USB from its port, removed your card from camera or card reader or switched off your camera while viewing or transferring your photos. Any of these errors will corrupt your card, making it unusable. Consequently, your photos are not retrievable from the card, now. Even if you try to access the card, some error message like ‘This card is not formatted. Format the card.’ appears repeatedly on your monitor. Then, will you really lose these photos?

Luckily, there is hope. First, reformat your corrupted card (though it will delete all its content) to make it usable again. Then, run an updated data recovery process before you use the reformatted card to write any new data on it risking your photos’ getting overwritten for them never to be recovered. If you just deleted your photos, or they got lost from accidentally formatting your card, just run the backup process. This process may satisfy your needs.

However, if this built-in facility does not serve your purpose, you need to turn to your second and last recourse: use a piece of some powerful Digital camera recovery. Camera data recovery programs are written employing highly advanced data recovery techniques to satisfy Digital camera photo recovery needs of the time.

Along this line, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery v3.2 comprehensively recovers lost multimedia files of various formats from almost all storage media. Compatible with Windows and Apple Mac operating systems, this camera data recovery program saves the recovered data in a user-specified location without modifying or overwriting the original.

How to Recover Lost Photos from Canon EOS 50D Digital Camera

The shocking loss of photo files from our storage devices creeps through our utmost professional care digging in us a pit for its own into which we with all our human fallibility tend to slip. If you are not the one out of the trillions of us who does not experience any such digital shock, this article will be more than just interesting, specially if you use Canon EOS 50D DSLR.

Canon EOS 50D uses CF memory cards for its storage media which in spite of their data safeguard technologies are not invulnerable to human and technical corrupting or damaging forces. If you have any such loss irrecoverable through your computer’s inbuilt data backup program, you will need to read this article which will give you a Digital camera data recovery tool.

Suppose, you have by mistake deleted your photos, or pressed a button on your camera accidentally reformatting your card, or kicked the USB cable plucking its plug from the port, or removed the card from the camera or card reader while data are being transferred. The result is now your card is clean, empty.

Cause:

Technically, a memory car is not part of a camera or computer. Computers simply read and write memory card data using the same system commands as for a mechanical disk drive with the storage device appearing to the computer operating system and user interface as just another drive. The same is true of cameras. Thus, data lost or deleted from your card do not go to Trash or Recycle Bin; they just get lost.

Solution:

If deletion or formatting was the cause, run your computer’s data backup program. If it is due to device corruption, reformat the card to make it usable, then run the backup program. You should avoid writing any new data on the reformatted card before recovery to avoid risking data overwriting that makes recovery impossible.

If this does not help, now use some special camera data recovery software. Employing highly advanced technologies to provide Camera data recovery solutions needed at the time, such programs take the complete information of the lost photos from the drive’s partition table, and completely reconstructs them.

Along this line, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery v3.2 comprehensively recovers lost multimedia files of various formats from almost all storage media.
