Panasonic DMC-FP8 is an advanced compact camera from the company's Lumix FP series. It is built around 12.1-megapixel sensor, 4.6x optical zoom, and 2.7 inch large intelligent LCD. The camera incorporates LED buttons which give its design, an elegant touch. The photo frame mode is a fun element which allows you to shoot images with various decorations. The camera has approximately 40 MB built-in memory which is compatible with both SD/SDHC cards.

A user is advised to handle SD cards carefully, as the cards can go haywire in various scenarios resulting in potential data loss. Battling SD card issues and compensating data loss is no big deal provided you use a camera recovery utility to recover lost images and videos.

As a practical case, When you load the card again in Panasonic DMC-FP8, you may receive the following error:

“A media card has been inserted that contains errors. To correct the error please use a disk error-checking utility on a computer.”

The interruption in the read/write process caused the memory card to become corrupt. The interruption occurred when the card was suddenly removed during the transfer process while its content were still open on the computer.

Resolution

Unless you fix the SD card, it cannot be used again in your DMC-FP 8 camera from Panasonic. Following steps detail the 'chkdsk' route to resolve issues with the memory card:

1.Connect the SD card to a computer

2. Go to ‘My Computer’ and then right-click the icon 'removable disk'

3. Click ‘Properties’ and then ‘Tools’

4. Under ‘Error-Checking’, click the tab ‘Check Now’

5. A dialog box will appear, select ‘Automatically Fix File System Errors’ and then click ‘Start’

In case the above steps do not reap any benefit, format the SD card in your Panasonic camera. However, in order to recoup lost data, make sure you use a digital camera recovery immediately. Causing further delay may reduce the chances of successful camera data recovery.
