Photography Question?

Just wondering has anyone ever had a corrupt camera memory card and have you been successful using an image recovery software to restore photos on the card..

btw
I cannot download the photos to my computer..I can only read a few pics on my Fuji camera but have seen on another camera that 75% of the photos are good on the memory card...Just cannot get them off of it...

Thanks :)

You can pick up a memory card reader, and download your photos to your computer that way. You can also take the memory card to a photo store and they can download your photos to a CD for you.

Thank You wyoblu :)
I will take the memory card
to a camera shop that has the recovery software..
I was told 17.00 if it works ..Nada if it fails..

The camera is new and I have found out it is the memory card.
The company where the camera was purchased gave us a new card to replace the messed up one....
At the shop on one of their cameras the photos show up ...
Still on vacation.. Heading out tomorrow to a cabin near Rocky Mountain House..Will try out the new memory card.. Plan to deal more with the corrupt card when we return..

Photos are so important to all of us...
Way of recording memories made and a way of sharing with others the beauty one has seen ....

No I will not give up unless all my options are exhausted...(stubborn Dutch :) )

Thanks dgwick :)

I purchased a cheap mini card reader writer..
I am able to view 49 of 89 photos but only in small size.. I can not open them or copy and paste...
I was also able to download a few into a folder using the card readers options ..
The photos usually crash the computer though ..
I can use 3 photos that I have been able to save so far as my background...? with no problems to the computer..
I just can not share them...Yet :) I am past the frustration of not having the photos and I am kind of enjoying the challenge of recovering them :roll: :lol:

will keep working on the pics with the card reader until I can get into Calgary and drop off the corrupt card at a Photography shop that has the Recovery Software..

The second week of our vacation I used the new camera with a new memory card and had no trouble..

Thank You so much to those above who helped me learn how to recover our photos...Few pics from Bigfork Montana taken from the corrupt card...
I was only able to recover about 1/3 of the pics but I am happy that not all were lost...

I’m a beginner, and I’m having trouble with correct exposure for indoor pictures, such as family groups, portraits, and candid shots... I usually remember to adjust the white balance, but any advice for improvement????
