Hi,

I have recently been on holiday and took photo's on 2 different SD cards on the Samsung ST61, 1 card downloaded the photo's fine. The 2nd card which has been used many times before doesn't download any photos.

Looking in my computer the only file on the card is listed as 'FACEDAT.BIN'. The card that works also has this file but also a folder with all the photos in.

If I put the SD cad back into the camera I can veiw the photos without any problems so they do appear to be on the card still.

I have also tried swapping the lock switch in case that was the problem but get the same result.

Does anyone know how to get these missing photos?

Many thanks!
 
Hi

I hope your camera has a USB port which you can use to download the pictures to the PC


Are the SD Cards the same size ? ( and upto 2GB)

If one is upto 2GB and the other is 4GB or more you may find that old card readers can not read SDHC cards
(SD cards over 2GB follow slightly different specification)

regards

Hi Mike, thanks for the new thoughts! I'm running out ideas!

The card that works is a 16GB, but certainly not full.

The card that doesn't is 8GB but getting closer to the limit.

I have also tried getting the photos both directly from the card and by leaving it in the camera and using the USB cable but no luck either way.

I also earlier tried using some recover file software and the strangest thing happens....

I managed to recover a lot of files from the card, mainly .dbf and .jpg fileparts to my D drive. When viewing the D drive filepartxxxx.jpg files in my computer I can see the pictures for about a second but then the picture icons turn into a solid grey picture. Double clicking on the image just shows the solid grey image as well.

That ever happened to anyone before?
