3 Steps to Retrieve Images from Olympus Camera

As is well known, Olympus cameras are spread all over the world. Just a few days ago, Olympus released X-560WP,which has good water-proof ability, high ISO and shutter speed. It decreases the possibilities of image fog and provides as many as 18 shooting scenes, including figures, nightscape, landscape, movement, etc.

But on one hand, we enjoy the new experience cameras bring to us; on the other hand, we worry about the image loss which may occur. Image loss is a common problem we might meet when we are taking photos. Sometimes it is because of our carelessness, such as accidentally deleting or formatting, while sometimes it is because of unpredictable factors, like power off, virus infection, or the sudden failure of card. But how can we retrieve images from Olympus camera?

Generally speaking, we can retrieve images by some photo recovery software. Before retrieving images, you should remember do not put more files or other data in the same place where the lost images were stored. Because after the images were lost, the data itself isn't lost; just the area where the lost images were stored is now marked as free space for other new files to be written. So once you put other data in it, this free space will be overwritten, which makes it difficult to retrieve lost images.

Retrieve images step 1:

Connect the camera to the computer. If your lost images are in the card, getting a card reader and connect it to your computer is OK. Once the device can be detected, it will appear as a drive letter like (H :) in your computer.

Retrieve images step 2:

Select the camera or the card (where your lost images were stored) as a target disk, click NEXT button, and then the scanning process begins. After that, check whether the lost images can be previewed in the thumbnail. If they are recoverable, buy the full version.

Retrieve images step 3:

Save the recovered photos in another place, not the one where the lost images were. For example, if you want to retrieve images from partition H:, you should specify a folder to save the images in partition E: or other partition, not partition H:.

Follow the above 3 steps one by one, you will find retrieving images is not as difficult as you thought, and photo recovery software is very helpful. But no matter what, the best way to save the trouble of image loss is to do backup.
