My Samsung S630 digital camera has or should I say had, recent irreplaceable photographic and video images on it. I viewed the images 2 days ago and they were all there and all ok. I turned the camera on this morning and the message "No Image" has come up. I don't understand how in les than 2 days, the images have mysteriously vanished? The camera has not been in use all weekend. It had brand new batteries installed within the last fortnight. Do you know what has happened and is this a common problem with this model camera. I love the camera but this is the second time in 12 months it has done this. The first time I put the problem down to being a new owner. I know we have definitely not accidentally erased anything as my famiy and I have been away this weekend and the camera was inadvertently left at home on the coffee table in the lounge (not next to anything lectro magnetic etc). How do I or retrieve this information - it must be somewhere? Is it possible? And how can I set-up the camera to stop this occuring again. What can I do? Please help me.

Do NOT for any reason use the camera again to take pictures. If it has an internal memory, take it out and, if you need to use the camera, replace it with another compatible one.

Now if you can either mount the camera as USB disk, or you can extract the memory (SD card, stick, etc.) and plug it in the appropriate reader to see it as a disk drive, then you can run RECUVA (from Piriform) and you should be able to recover most of your images, unless:

1) Other data have been written on the memory (that's why I told you not to use the camera)
2) The memory card has been "securely deleted", something I think nobody therearound would do or even know how to do
3) The original, full memory card inside has been taken out and swapped with another (it happened to me once. My Canon and my Palm have compatible SD cards. I inadvertently swapped them). So your data are safe and sound -- maybe in a drawer somewhere :-)

WHEN i AM CAMERA MODE THERE IS NO IMAGE ON THE

That is correct. The D40x works as SLRs have worked for half a century, allowing the photographer to compose by viewing through the viewfinder. Only the most recent dSLRs have the "live view" feature, the D40x doesn't.

The view screan on my Samsung S630 camera is all blurry

Hi Guys

Every time I'd try to turn my camera on, it would give three beeps and then go off.

I decided to search your Fixya tips, and I found it. All I needed to do was press and Hold the OK/Menu button while I turned on my Samsung S630 camera and it worked!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip, and I hope Someone else will get the same benefit

Yes you can use the camera with the computer, some of the editing software which came with the camera may not work with vista however but that wont stop you from uploading and viewing the images and videos.

Samsung s630 flash doesn't work

At this price point, they really are not worth investing time and labor required to attempt repair. Sometimes it simply makes more sense to dispose of the old and purchase new.
