How to recover lost images and videos from Samsung ST550

The Samsung ST550 is the world's first compact camera which boasts of a 1.5 inches front LCD to click self portraits. Built around 12 megapixels, 4.6x optical zoom and 3.5 inches touch-screen LCD display, this camera comes equipped with the innovative Smart Gesture User Interface. The compact camera, which allows you to capture both pictures and videos, is compatible with micro SD and micro SDHC cards. As the case with other memory cards, both micro SD and SDHC cards need to be handled carefully. If you do not observe the proper instructions while removing or handling SD card operations with your Samsung camera, you might face a data loss situation. Due to corruption, SD cards render previously saved data on a digital camera's memory card inaccessible. And, the Samsung ST550 is no exception to this. However, you can restore the lost data by using an appropriate backup copy. And, in absence of a clean and updated backup, ensure you have a Picture Recovery Software at your disposal.

When you return home, you decide to download the images to your computer, but to your shock, your computer could not read the content. You reload the micro SD card in your Samsung ST550 camera, and receive the following error message:
