DCIM folders are created by digital cameras as a location to save digital pictures.
When your Fujifilm digital camera takes a picture, it is processed through the camera's process then saved as a digital file in the DCIM (Digital Camera Images) folder that is created in the memory card. Digital pictures remain in this folder until they are deleted either intentionally or accidentally. When a digital picture is deleted from the folder, it remains on the memory card until the physical space on the card is used to save a new picture. You can use software to recover deleted pictures.
Instructions
1. Stop using your Fujifilm camera as soon as you realize you have deleted the pictures from the DCIM folder. The more pictures you continue to take after deleting the initial pictures, the higher the chances that the deleted pictures will be lost when the space they occupied on the card is used to save a new picture.
2. Turn on your home computer, connect to the internet, and download a digital file recovery program. There are a number of free programs as well as for purchase ones, e.g., PC Inspector Smart Image Recovery, Pix Fix, or Camera Salvage for Apple computer users. Open the program you just downloaded to your computer.
3. Insert the memory card from your Fujifilm camera into a card reader, or attach it to your computer. Wait a moment for your computer to acknowledge the inserted card.
4. Click "Scan/Start" in the recovery program and select the icon that represents the Fujifilm memory card. The software will scan the card and recover files that were deleted but are still recoverable.
5. Click the file in the new window that opens up after the software has completed its scan. Save the recovered digital files to the hard drive of your computer.
