Hi

I have a Panasonic DMC-LS85 Camera with a Lexar 4gb SDHC card.

I have loads of recent holiday pic that seem to be now stuck on the card as when loaded in the camera i get the msg

Other cards work in the camera but the 4gb card wont work in any other camera....

i have downloaded a couple of programes to try and recover the pics but as yet to no joy,

please please can you help me.

Thank you

Have you got access to a normal card reader .. to see if bypassing the camera gives you better results?

Did the Lexar card come from a completely trustworthy source? There are numerous reports of fake cards on Ebay, Amazon marketplace, etc, and the labeling can be very convincing.

Typically it won't go wrong until after you reach a key boundary - for example 1Gb, and then suddenly it will stop working properly.

I think there's a fair chance that one of the recovery tools will get most of the photos back. Have you tried Recuva yet? I've not used it but several others on here rate it highly.

Did the card come from a trust worthy source,no it came from argos.
If it is new does it come with any warranty,i would contact argos it might not get your photos back but it might get you a replacement card.
maybee contact lexar they may offer a recovery service,at a price, then send the bill to argos.
I would also ask for a replacment camera too,you never know that could also be faulty(could be a customer return just reboxed and sold again,had that before)
