Did you know that Nikon digital photographs files are stored in a special NKS format, and that Canon has a similar proprietary file type for their image files? Virtually every leading camera manufacturer uses a special file format to initially store the digital information which creates their photographs on your computer screen or in a print. These file types are known as RAW files. When attempting photo recovery of pictures taken by a digital camera you must use a powerful data recovery tool designed expressly for recovery of files in the format of your camera.
This does not mean that you must purchase 10 different data recovery tools in order to accomplish all of your digital media recovery tasks. Remo Software makes a quality digital media recovery tool that will recover digital photos by recognizing RAW camera files from over 10 different manufacturers and will generally recognize over 1000 other file types used in digital media such as Apple iPods and other music video players.
