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.

It uses Compact Flash (CF Cards) as an external storage memory system. But on many occasions, it also gets corrupted and the stored data becomes inaccessible.

The above error shows that there is something wrong with your CF card. You can neither access nor capture more images due to above error.

Card corruption or a damaged file system is responsible for the appearance of such an error. A card can get corrupted due to a variety of reasons listed below:

Switching off the camera while read/write process goes on .
Virus Infection of memory card

Suppose if you have a previous backup then restore it. In absence of clean backup files, You must seek for an Image Recovery Software. An Image recovery utility comes handy when one has lost or deleted his data intentionally or unintentionally.

However, you need to be very careful handling a memory card. If you do not follow proper way then you may face some odd problems with it. Though, you can use a backup of images. But what to do when the backup file is not updated or backup file is also corrupted. In such situations, you can still recover lost or inaccessible images by using a professional digital image recovery software.

Consider a scenario: you have gone for a get together party at your friend's house, carrying your Aigo Digital Camera T1258. When you insert a SD/SDHC card in Camera in order to capture some photos, it shows following error:

"Write protect"

As a result of the error message you can neither capture a photo nor delete the saved photos.

Cause:

The occurrence of the above error are:
1. If your SD/SDHC card has 'locking' tab activated. Due to this lock, the camera cannot write new files to the SD/SDHC card or delete the old ones.
2. Or if the SD/SDHC memory card of your camera is corrupt

Resolution:

In order to perform digital image recovery and isolate the issue with your Aigo Digital Camera T1258, you should try the following steps:

1. To allow any write, delete or edit operation, you must deactivate the locking tab or switch from the SD/SDHC card
2. If removing the locking tab doesn't resolve the error, then you must address the corruption issue by reformatting the SD/SDHC card in your Aigo Digital Camera T1258 itself .

Formatting of SD/SDHC card will resolve the above error but will erase all the data also.

If you have updated backup then restore it. If no backup is available, you should connect to the Internet and find a third-party digital image recovery software.

I have searched an digital image recovery software on the Internet that is Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery software. It is an efficient and easy to use digital image recovery tool. This user-friendly digital image recovery application is available for both Windows and Mac users.
