Recovering Olympus E-620 photos

The Olympus E-620 is one of the best entry level DSLR cameras in the market. With a 12.32MP image sensor, and a 3x optical zoom, it gives beginners a perfect combination of simplicity and quality rolled in one. This camera uses JPEG and RAW formatting. The jitters attached to owning a digital camera, is that the slightest absence of mind, could wipe out all your pictures in the fraction of a second. When you have a back-up of your pictures, this is not a problem. It’s when this back-up bails on you that the crisis arises.

Imagine you have just taken loads of pictures on your birthday. You see the battery low sign and give the camera a rest. Your friend sees it un-used and decides to take pictures with it. With-in minutes of his starting to use the E-620, it shuts off. When you connect the camera to the computer later, it gives you error messages saying that the pictures on the camera are inaccessible. Even at such times, you can use a Photo Recovery tool and reclaim all your data back.

Cause:

The reason behind this is the interruption of the read-write process of the camera. After clicking pictures, the camera takes a little time to write pictures to the memory card. During this process if the battery dies, or the card is removed, or it is turned off due to any other reason, the process remains incomplete. This in turn causes the pictures thereon to become inaccessible to computers and cameras.

Resolution:

The way round this problem is to use a Digital Photo Recovery tool. These are software which scan the hard disk of the camera, perform a Digital Camera Photo Recovery and thus salvage data from it. These tools work on the principle that data is saved on multiple locations on the file system. Even when it is deleted from one place, it can be salvaged from another.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a trustworthy Digital Photo Recovery tool. The software supports both Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS. It supports all popular file formats—JPEG, TIFF, RAW, GIF, etc. The simple GUI allows users to recover data with ease, without any technical knowledge or having to call an expert to do the job for them.

Photo Recovery from a Flash Drive

A Flash memory is a particular type of technology used to store data digitally. The data stored on it can be written and erased electrically using cameras, computers cell phones etc. Today you will find a number of flash drives available in the markets—whether they are Flash drives, flash cards, etc. The technology they use is the same. Added to this is the fact that one does not need any kind of an additional software to run a flash device. As with all hard disks, the Flash too uses a particular file format. Earlier flash drives used FAT 12 or FAT 16, today they have switched over to FAT 32. This means that the device is not far from facing problems related to over-writing or any sort of physical damage.

Today it is most commonly used to store photos. The drive getting damaged means that photos can get deleted. Since no storage device is safe, one can rest assured that you can use a photo recovery software to recover lost photos.

For example, when you are using a camera with a Compact flash(CF) card, and you suddenly pull out the card just after taking a shot. You go home and find that none of the pictures on your card are accessible or the card is corrupt. In either case you lose your pictures and naturally it will leave you heart broken.

Cause:

The cause for this is simple, when you have any memory card, pulling it out of the camera either immediately after taking a shot or even when the camera is on, corrupts the card. This makes the photos on it inaccessible.

Solution:

Of course the saying ‘prevention is better than cure‘ is true, but once the damage is done, prevention tips don’t help. On the contrary they make us feel worse!!

The solution to the problem is using a photo recovery software to recover deleted photos. These softwares can be downloaded from the Internet and then used to scan any hard drive to search for deleted photos.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a software which one can use to recover deleted photos without the help of an expert. The software has a simple GUI and is available in two versions: Trial, and Full. You can use the trial version to check which photos can be recovered and then once satisfied, use the full version to recover them with ease. It supports JPEG, TIFF, GIF, AVI, MOV etc file formats.

Encrypted Removable Media Issues in Windows

Windows 7 and Vista include a full disk encryption feature, called BitLocker Drive Encryption, that allows you to protect your data by encrypting the entire volumes. The latest version of Bitlocker included in Windows 7 comes ship with an added functionality of encrypting the removable media such as a USB flash drive, memory stick or digital storage media cards like SD cards. But when you encrypt the removable media that is formatted to FAT file system in Windows 7 and try to use in a digital camera or a system using Windows other than Windows 7, you might experience that the media is not accessible. One of the possible ways to solve such problem is to reformat the removable media and restore lost digital files using backup. But when no valid backup is available, you need to use Digital Photo Recovery solutions to effectively restore the lost photos, videos and audios.

To illustrate this, consider that you are using a FAT formatted USB flash drive, memory stick or digital storage media cards like SD card. You encrypt the media using BitLocker Drive Encryption of Windows. The next time, you observe one of the below symptoms:

  • You connect the encrypted USB flash drive, memory stick or SD card to a digital camera, a mobile phone or a MP3 player and find that media fails to work
  • You connect the encrypted USB flash drive, memory stick or SD card with a Windows Vista or XP based system and observe that you cannot write any data to it. The media shows that there is no free space available and its file system is FAT32

Cause

Windows 7 creates a discovery volume formatted to FAT32 file system on space that is invisible and virtualized in Windows 7. When you connect it a system using Windows other than Windows 7, the system detects FAT32 discovery volume and the original bit locked volume becomes invisible. Thus, system recognizes media with FAT32 file system. Such issues typically occur if the device accessing it requires FAT file system and not FAT32.

Solution

Possible way outs of solving the issue are:

  • Use Windows 7 to decrypt the removable media
  • Reformat the removable media with FAT file system and restore from backup. If no clean data backup can be accessed, you should use Photo Recovery tools for recovering lost data.
