Not sure if this works for me

[fahimK]

I shot a lot of pictures in RAW. could view them in my camera, however, when i went home and transfered them. None of them had previews OR open in any program. Week later, i shot pics, made sure the worked in my camera and laptop. they did. Until the end of the day i went home. and find that my last 100 shots wont open anymore. Another day, shot 60 pics, right after i shot the next, it stopped and every picture had a Red Box with a "X" in it. The files are still full size .NEF files.
I used the ExifTool, followed instructions. but it would just create a "Fixed" folder with nothing inside it. and on the Windows, wouldnt do anything.

any help?

Camera: Nikon D3200
i would attach a file of .NEF, but its over the total size allowed.

I get these messages when I run fix_corrupted_nef on your file:

Code Select Expand

Error: Not a D4, D600, D610, D800/D800E, D3200, D5200 or D7100 NEF
- /Users/phil/Desktop/DSC_0428.NEF
Error: File format error - /Users/phil/Desktop/DSC_0428.NEF

Looking at the file with a hex dump utility, I see it consists entirely of zero bytes.  I have seen this sort of corruption from a bad memory card.  I'm sorry, but here is no way to recover an image from this file.  Your only hope is running file recovery software on your memory card.

Dang. Thanks a lot. Will give that a shot n hope it works out :/

[edit]
I actually thought it was my memory cards fault. Since i bought one online. it was a micro SD. But later, i used my friends memory card which was fine since he uses it. but it happened again on that one the last time i used my camera. I put my card in his camera, nothing happened.

i could have blamed my card, but this only happens when using my dslr
