If you’ve ever lost photos on your digital camera memory card, you know how devastating it can be – the perfect shots may be gone forever. Fortunately, there are many software solutions available for digital camera media recovery – and one of them is free!
Zero Assumption Recovery is a software package designed for computer data recovery and RAID recovery, and it also provides free image recovery. The software is available as a free download from http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital-image-recovery.htm. The company has provided step by step instructions on how to recover photos from your multimedia memory cards.
ZAR is a wizard driven software program which will automatically detect and recover your digital photographs. The company recommends using an external media drive, not your digital camera. The software recovers in GIF, JPEG, TIFF, CRW (Canon Raw Data), MOV, AVI Movie, WAV, CR2 (Canon CR2 RAW Format), ORF (Olympus RAW format), and others. It recovers .CR2 files as TIFF – which can be opened in Adobe Photoshop CS.
As a free solution, you should try it if you experience a corrupted memory card – or even if you accidentally delete images. I’ve deleted photos before on accident and have been able to recover them.
