Image recovery

Digital image recovery mode is specifically tailored to recover photographs taken using digital camera. These shots are typically stored on some sort of a small-size, small-capacity removable storage, like Compact Flash memory, Memory Stick, Secure Digital and so on. These storage types are collectively referred to as a "memory card".

 

Setting up

You need to set the system up in such a way that your memory card is accessible as a disk drive. A setup involving an appropriate card reader device is good for most situations. If you do not have the card reader, or cannot use it for some reason (e.g. camera is using internal non-removable memory), you should try using the camera itself to access the memory card. It may be required that you switch to "Logical drive access mode" in disk access options to achieve proper access (this depends upon the implementation of the camera device driver).

 

Source (damaged) device and performance considerations

The "image recovery" mode is tailored to work with digital camera memory, which is relatively small. Thus, the following limitation applies:
  • Recovery off the hard disks is not supported1.

1This means we tested and found the results unsatisfactory (i.e. not worth the effort) most of the time.

Our customers say

I have accidentaly deleted all pictures from a CF (CompactFlash) card. I was looking for some recovery tools. I tried FAT-based tools, but they could not get back all the pictures (my camera might use some strange image storing mechanism). Then I found Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery, which found all my pictures and even those deleted half year ago (and not yet overwritten). [...] Thumbs up!. Thanks, guys for this freeware! User interface is not exciting, but who cares? It does the job, and that's it.
