EMERGENCY Camera Help???

Question

Ok, So I just got back from vacation and have tons of vacation pictures, and when I got home I turned on my camera and after taking a couple more pictures it suddenly said "This card cannot be used" but I know for a fact theres nothing wrong with the memory card! Theres still atleast 400 pictures on it and I never touched it, I have about 100 pictures on it so I know its the right kind, I changed the batteries, I took the card out and put it back in, nothing has worked! I have no idea whats wrong with it, please help!

Answer 1

Try putting the card in a card reader, and see if you can directly download the photos from the card. If you still get an error message or can't see any photos, you need to try data recovery.

If the card has gone bad. Do not reformat the card. Check out PhotoRescue. If you download the demo, you can run it to see if there are any recoverable photos before buying the software.

Answer 2

You should have a card reader. It makes downloading so much easier. Got to a store that has a do it your self photo machine and see if it reads your card, it should, then make a cd. That way, you have you photos and can clear out the card.
