Julie recently returned from a treking expedition to Nepal; partly raising money for a charity, but also checking out the place for a possible Shutterspeedtravel trip. The treking was tough, but the scenery and people made all the pain worthwhile!
On returning back to the UK Julie downloaded her images and found that 40% of the images on all four cards she had used were corrupted. The four cards were from different manufacturers. This was the first time we had encountered such a problem. Julie downloaded the excellent "imagerescue3" software from Lexars site:
http://www.lexar.com/software/image_rescue3.html
Using this program Julie was able to recover all the images. We are still baffled why the cards became corrupted. We were not able to recreate the problem using the same cards in the same camera body back in London.
The lesson from this experience is do not give up! There are many clever solutions out there on the net that can solve many problems, including those that you do not know about .... yet!
