How to Recover Lost Data From The Panasonic DMC-ZS3

One of the most sophisticated and trustworthy cameras, the Panasonic DMC-ZS3 makes photography enjoyable and fun for both professional and amateur photographers. The camera is compatible with SD (Secure Digital) and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory cards. While the storage capacity of the SD card varies from 8 MB to 2 GB, the storage capacity for SDHC card varies from 4 GB to 32 GB. Irrespective of the differences in the kind of card, corruption can occur. In such cases, the data saved in these cards becomes inaccessible.

To restore and access the data in such situations, the user needs to use a copy of an updated backup. But in case, no copy of an updated backup is available, or backup falls short of restoring the required data, the user needs to use an advanced Picture recovery software.

To explain the above point, below are the two error messages that appear on Panasonic DMC-ZS3 while you attempt to access the files saved in its SDHC card:

"BUILT-IN MEMORY ERROR"
Or
"MEMORY CARD ERROR"

These error messages occur in case the SDHC card gets corrupted. Corruption in SDHC card most likely occurs due to improper camera shutdown, virus infection, and interrupted read/write operation. After any of the above error message appears, the data saved in the SDHC card becomes inaccessible.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error messages, the user-manual of the camera suggests you to format the SDHC card in the camera. The manual also states that the pictures saved in the memory card get permanently deleted after the card is formatted. However, it is not true, anymore. If you wish to access the pictures after formatting a memory card, then you need an effective Digital picture recovery software.

A third-party Picture recovery utility uses advanced scanning methods that recover all pictures from SDHC card even after formatting. The recovered photos can be saved at specified location. Compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows, the Digital photo recovery application ensures that the original data saved in the memory card remains intact. The do it yourself software supports recovery of almost all audio, video, and picture file formats.
