Hi,

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 16GB version and Recently I had been to a hiking trip and had used my Xperia Z3 on the trip extensively for photos and vidoes. I have taken as much as 600 photos and few videos of size 2.9 GB. Since the phone memory was getting full, i moved the images,videos using the "Move Files to SD Card" option found under "Settings --> Storage".

The Transfer finished successfully and the phone memory was relieved. Now after this transfer, i can't open any images moved to SD card. They all were moved to "DCIM --> 100ANDRO" folder.

The photos seem to be corrupted. ALL OF THEM

This is such a mess and I tried a few tools for recovering the images. They didn't help me any. Can anyone of you have any suggestions on how to recover these photos?

These are memories from a Trip which I can do only once in life time

Please help.

Note: The jpeg image properties show up the File Size clearly which means that the content is still there but somehow corrupted

Are you able to connect your phone to a Pc and transfer the images to your Pc and check or remove the Sd card and connect it to a Pc and check?

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I removed the SD card, connected to a card reader to PC and checked. The photos when I open in the PC also are corrupted.

Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks

You could try a check disk - So with the card connected open a command prompt then type the drive letter of the card then : so for example K: then hit enter - Then type chkdsk /f then hit enter - When finished check your cards files
