Question : Problem: make an hexadecimal-level recovery of lost pictures in a compact flash card
hello
my nikon digital camera messed up important photos of a non-repeatable event today.
In the past, I have recovered photos in such cases by making a disk image of the camera flash card, opening up the image in an hex-editor, and splitting the file every time I encounter "FF D8 FF E1" which is the hexadecimlas numbers of the beginning of a new photo. I think this works because the filesystem of the flash card is formatted often.
This time though, it does not work fully. Lots of pictures are messed up. I have the feeling one file messes information from several pictures (see file attached).
Has anybody any idea of how I could determine which information belongs to which file, and use my hexadecimal editor to rebuild the pictures from the image file of the flash card ?
thanks a lot
Michael
PS. : I did try recovy software but they don't do a better job than manually : they mess up the photos
