Description
My brother in-laws camera is a Konica Minolta Dimage Z6. He was taking picture in Mexico and he could not view them after he took them.
On the PC the thumbnails look like the thumbnail on this picture, but the full size picture looks like the full size picture here.
He was using a new 1 gig SD chip made by Norcent (the N looks like AV without the cross bar on the A). He did not format it in the camera before using it.
Anyone have any ideas of what could cause this.

have you tried formatting the card?

We were waiting to format the card after he shows this to a friend that teaches photography, who maybe able to recover the pictures. All of the pictures of his Mexico trip were like this.

sounds like an inferior sd card to me. try play.com for some cheap but amazing quality Sandisk Ultra III's

I have the same camera..and yes I have used some memory cards that produce this error. I would get a different card, ones I have that are good are: A-Data Turbo 150x ($12 @ Frys.com currently), Patriot also 150x I believe, Sandisk II or regular. I've had problems with Corsair 50x and PQI which looked like this pic.. Good luck.

I work in a photolab and is what happened they got exposed from going thru airport security..i see this all the time..you can go to any lab and they should be able to send them out and recover some of them but these look pretty bad..Good luck and hope you get most of your images recovered...Jen

Long past a time when this could maybe help, but way back in history, I used to open up a copy of a .jpg image in a text editor and delete one character or a line somewhere in the file, and resave it. This is similar to what would happen. Today I tried it and couldn't make it happen, but this symptom could indicate a missing byte somewhere.

I just saw a forum on a company that recovers pictures from memory chips and deleted it before thinking that they might be able to recover these pictures. Does any one have the link to that forum? Thanks
