Do you want to recover lost photos or videos on the Kodak Zi Series memory card?
If you have accidentally deleted your videos images on the Kodak Zi6, or Zi8 Playsport then this article will tell you exactly how to undelete your lost images. The first thing I need to say is that the Kodak Zi8 and Zi6 is an amazing camera. I am an owner, and I love the power of the it. However, as you may have noticed, the Kodak Zi series has the tendency to lose photos that were saved into the memory card. This is a problem that can be solved. To recover deleted pictures from the Kodak Playsport Zi6, Zi8 digital video camera, read on.
When you notice this happening to your video camera, it means that either your camera and the memory card have encountered some type of transfer error. Often times, the pictures or videos that you can not find, are still actually on the memory card, but are inaccessible, which makes this next step very important: You will be able to recover the lost photos, but you have to be disciplined, and not use the card any longer. If you continue to write to the memory card, you risk writing over your missing images or videos.
Check for physical damage
Next, inspect your Kodak Zi8 or Zi6 video camera and the memory card. It may be possible that the card or the video camera has some damage, and that is why you will not be able to view the photos that you had just taken. You can clean your card with a microfiber cloth, so that the cloth will cause minimal damage to the card. Check the contents of your Kodak Zi Series memory card on the computer. If you can view the contents online, then you are good. However, if you still cannot see it, consider getting yourself a photo recovery software.
