It happened to me once that I accidentally hit the Delete All button on my Casio Exilim digital camera when browsing through the pictures and deleting the ones that were not looking well. Lucky me I was able to discover the software Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery which did recover all of the images that were deleted. Today I read the recommendation at Lifehacker and decided to write a little article about the software as well.
The developers of the image recovery software have created a list of supported camera models which is probably a good point to start. The list also contains those models that were found to be not working with the software, so before you try check the list. You need to connect the camera to the computer or put the memory card that contained the pictures in a card reader that is connected to the computer running the image recovery software.
It’s then just the matter of selecting the correct camera model or media from the list of available ones. The software will then automatically scan the card and try to recover all information it can find. All images that are recovered will be stored on the hard drive in a location that you specify.

I’ve done the same thing with my camera; I used PC Inspector Smart Recovery and it worked a treat. I think in moments like that we have a tendency to panic and reach for the nearest software at hand so it’s good to know in advance which solutions work. Thanks for the tip about Zero Assumption.
