Hello,
I have a corrupted CF card.
The camera did not stop accessing the card, and when I finally took out the battery,
the next time it said the card was not formatted.
Well, As windows asks me to format the card,
and Software like PhotoRec does not know the RAW format,
I have now tried to recover footage using a hex editor like WinHEX,
which I used to open the whole corrupted Disk.
I just extracted a huge block of data until the end of the first footer.
(12th line starting from "RAWM" - like is described here:
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5732.msg41099#msg41099 )
What I get when I put it into raw2dng are pink grainy images which still have the silhouettes of my images,
but are divided up into 4 rectangles- and have the wrong colors and grain.
So I assume I have not found the right start of the file.
I know how to identify the footer. But how to identify the start of the file?
When comparing RAW files I could not find similarities there.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
regards
Felix
