Photo Recovery from Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3

The Lumix DMC-ZS3 has a 10.1-megapixel sensor, a 3-inch LCD, and a 12x zoom that flattens out into a 1.29-inch-thick pocket camera. It has simple interface that makes it easy to handle for novice camera user. It has six different modes, including Face Detection and Face Recognition.

It is compatible with both SD/SDHC cards that give you freedom to click and store countless beautiful photos. Although, they are very secured and reliable storage media, but they are prone to corruption in many instances, resulting in potential data loss. To overcome such situations, You can either use a valid backup or opt for a Image recovery software.

Take a Scenario: Suppose you are viewing your clicked photos in the camera screen and deleting those useless photos which you do not like. Suddenly it shows below error:

“Memory Card Error. Format this card?”

As a result of the above error, you can not access the photos. Also, you are stuck in the middle and can not capture new photos until you fix the above error.

Cause:

The above error indicates that the card has got corrupted. The memory card may be corrupted due to interruption in read/write process, clicking photos while battery is low, virus infection on the memory card.

Resolution:

You must follow these steps to recover data from the memory card:

1. Insert the SD/SDHC memory card in card reader and connect with computer and try to access the photos.
2. If the above steps do not work then you must format memory card to get rid from above error. It will disappear above error but it will erase your all photos also.

Since formatting erases all the data stored on the SD/SDHC memory card, you need to download an efficient read only image recovery software from the Internet.

I have used powerful software called Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery Software. It is read-only photo recovery software and recovers not only photos but also audios and videos. It recovers all photo formats such as JPEG, RAW, Exif, TIF etc. from any storage media. It is compatible with Mac and Windows machine.
