[lucky_indian]

Hi,
We took some pictures on this camera with the flash card being FC-32MH
and i think the battery was low. I charged the battery and then when i went to transfer the pics weren't there . The pictures were with my teacher who has gone to another school and also some holiday pictures. It may been formated by a family member. How can i get these pics back i haven't put any new images either.
Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi:

Unfortunatly there is no way to recover photos that have been erased,
but, I would suggest taking a careful look at this with a card reader not
just connecting your camera to your computer. The file directory can be
renamed and this could cause your camera to not recognize the directory
and download it. You may want to check out, www.sterlingtek.com/commemread.html?Compact_Flash_Memory_Reader

if you do not have one available.

I would also suggest that you never charge the battery in the camera.
LiIon Batteries can explode or overheat, that can wipe your camera
out. I like this www.sterlingtek.com/cocanbtrch.html?NB-L1_Battery_Charger personally, it is small and compact.

I hope this helps and that you are able to find your photos.
