JPG recovery

I recntly used my new Leica M3 digital camera, its been fine, but as i took 2 photos the other day the battery died :(:(:(:(

thus when i try to access these they come up "cannot acces or wrong format":mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I've hex editored them and all there is are y's
eg

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" :eek:

for the code not like a normal hex file "sg898fd768gd8"

The files are still the right size, can i recover the data.???:confused::confused:

    I use a free piece of software by Convar called PC Inspector to recover damaged or deleted file from my camera.

    It works well with deleted files, even formatted CompactFlash cards are recoverable - sometimes.

    Give it a shot, I downloaded it from here http://www.pcinspector.de/smart_media_recovery/uk/welcome.htm after first finding it on the cover of a Photography magazine.

    To be honest though, I've seen images on my camera screen, switched off before it's finished uploading them onto the card and corrupted them beyond repair.

    Good luck.
