Lost pictures in camera

#1 Post by Langjan »

I moved pictures from my camera into a new folder in the camera and subsequently the pics and the folder do not show. The location is NIKON DSC COOLPIX L19 PTP DCIM 104NIKON. How do I direct PhotoRec to this folder please? My system is Ubuntu 18.04 Unity.

With PhotoRec, you have to select a partition to recover from, not a directory.

Thanks, the solution was obvious: to remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in a card reader. Photos recovered successfully.
