The Panasonic HDC-SD9 seems to be an attractive purchase for consumers looking for a light weight and feature-rich camcorder. It’s one of the smallest and lightest camcorders and is very comfortable to shoot. Incorporating 3CCD camera system, advanced OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer), Lecia Dicomar lens, this camera is too hard to resist for any video enthusiast.

The SD9 records 108i HD video at a full 1920×1080 resolution with a maximum 17Mbps bit rate. To ensure highest-quality recording, you must use a Class 4 or better SDHC card. An SDHC card empowers you to record and store many videos but it also requires you to be careful of the corruption issues. Your SD9 camcorder may give you bizarre errors if your SDHC card gets corrupt.

As a result, your saved videos become inaccessible. To tackle such data loss situations, you are required to restore lost videos with the help of an appropriate and updated backup. However, if there is no backup available, you can always opt for a video recovery software.

As a practical case, consider a scenario where you are shooting back-to-back videos during a family celebration and suddenly the batteries of your camcorder die off. After charging your camcorder, when you try and have a look at old saved videos, you may receive the following bugging error:

“Memory card unreadable”

The error clearly indicates that there is something wrong with the SDHC card of your SD9 camcorder, which has rendered your videos inaccessible.

Cause:

The error could be an outcome of SDHC card corruption. The card might have got corrupted when the batteries of your camcorder died unexpectedly, and that too, in the middle of a shoot.

Resolution :

Since the card has got corrupted, you have to resort to formatting followed by video recovery. But, you can try and access the lost data by following these steps:

  • Clean the contacts of the SDHC card
  • Try and access the videos on a computer by connecting your SD9 camcorder
  • Try and access the videos on a computer by using a card reader

If nothing of the above steps works, don’t worry as you can easily recover lost videos by using a reliable video recovery software.

You can use such a third-party tool very easily as they come equipped with a simple and graphical user interface. Moreover, being risk-free, they do not damage the original content.
