Have this 4GB SD Card, however it registers as 1GB, a little strange. Does not look fake.

It was used in this type of camera:
http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital ... x_f600exr/

Apparently, cust dropped the camera, meaning I guess it got physically damaged, so pics on the SD Card can't be accessed outside the camera.

Based on my suspicion, it seems to me that the pics somehow get converted/decompressed when transferred from the camera to the PC with a specific Fuji software.

Can browse through it fine.
Do not understand its file system, nor can I find any useful info about it.
Attached snapshots of LBA0 and the header of a file. All files have that type of header or very similar.

Maybe compression of some kind?!? And file system proprietary to Fuji?!?

Any idea what this is and how to recover files in standard pic format?

In some cases where translation system is bad, content shows garbage and makes no sense. I would go to some empty sector near end of the card, change 1 byte, then re-power card and check if the changes have remained. If no, then the problem is with the card and you should work with internal NAND.

Yes, indeed, seems the controller is doing strange things.
Fiddled with it few more times, it mounted with the correct capacity finally.
Shot an image of it.
FAT32 seems a bit messed up, but I can see the guy's files. Some are partially corrupt, many are still good.

Thank you
