Price Comparisons Recover Formatted Photos From the Pentax K-X DSLR Digital Camera

The Pentax K-X is a fantastic DSLR camera that is great for beginners. It is very affordable, small, compact and very light, as compared to other DSLR cameras out there. It comes in a variety of colors such as the common black color, white, and limited editions of red and navy both colors. However, there is a problem with this camera, it is prone to data loss. Fortunately, you can recover accidentally deleted or lost photos on the Pentax K-X camera. This guide will take you through the photo recovery process on the Pentax K-X step-by-step.

When you experience data loss in your room, stop using the room immediately. Should you want to continue to take photos, replace the SD card, and put it somewhere dry and safe. Use the replacement SD card and keep the corrupted cardaway from the camera. You will be able to have a full recovery of the lost photos, as you follow the steps provided.

If your SD card looks dirty, or has some scratches, you can gently clean it with a soft, dry cloth that will not scratch it any further. You can use the same kind of cloth that is used to clean eye glasses. Afterwards, try to connect the SD card to your computer. If your computer recognizes it, even if you do not see the data files that were lost, you have a high chance of recovering the lost photos.

Now use a photo recovery software that will allow you to recover the lost data files. I highly recommend Photo Retrieval 1.70 for PC users. It is free to download, and will instantly diagnose your disk and show you all of the photos that it can recover. It also has the ability to retrieve mp3 files or anything else you have stored on the disk. You can also look for the Wondershare Photo Recovery or Disk Doctors software which are available for Mac or PC. These are available online as well.

Simply download the software and install it into your computer. Make sure your SD card is connected to your computer, and scan the card with the software. Withing a few minutes it will show you the outcome of what it had found. You'll be able to see the lost photos that were in the card. Finally, select the photos and restore them to a safe location on your computer.

If photo recovery software didn't work, you now need to see a data recovery center. You can try the "Geek Squad" at Best Buy, or consider a mail-in service like Disk Doctors. Disk Doctorsrecovery centers have an excellent record at recovering even physically damaged data.

Now that you've got your photos back you can breath again:)
