Image recovery from Olympus T-110 after 'Card Full' error

Image recovery from Olympus T-110

The Olympus T-110 is a combination of simple design and advanced features. The new camera from Olympus features 12 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 2.7 inches LCD display and easy navigation function. The slim and light-weight camera records images in JPEG format.

It's internal memory is 10MB, which comes with an expansion slot for SD/SDHC cards. Though, these cards are trusted source to save your valuable images, it is best that you keep downloading them to a computer, as and when you get through with a photo-clicking session.

Observing this would help you a great mile as these cards can become corrupt due to various factors and leave images inaccessible. In such dreadful situations, you can easily restore the lost images from an updated backup. However, if corruption occurs and you do not have a reliable backup available, then you must think about using an image recovery software.

Consider a scenario, wherein, you are clicking images with your Olympus T-110 camera. During one of the clicks, you may come across an unexpected error message which goes like:

"Card Full"

The error indicates that your SD card has no more space left to adjust new and upcoming images. But, you cannot accept this error message as your memory card has sufficient amount of space still left unused. Let's get to the core of the problem by understanding the possible reasons behind the above error message and then come to the required image recovery steps.

Causes :

The error message can be encountered while using the Olympus T-110 camera in the following conditions:
  • If your SD card is actually full and has no memory to record or save new images
  • Or if your SD card is corrupt

Resolution :

Let's take a look at the appropriate measures to be taken to resolve the problem:
  • You have to delete or erase unwanted images from the memory card.
  • If corruption is an issue then you must format the SD card in the Olympus camera

Formatting, though, would settle the issues related to damaged file system but lead to data deletion. In such circumstances, you should download and use third-party image recovery software.
