The Scottish Parliament building looks like Cumbernauld chewed it up, then spat it out, and dumped the remnants at the far side of Edinburgh! (If you've ever visited Cumbernauld town centre, you'll understand).

Somehow, you've managed to turn an architectural abomination into something resembling a cubist painting though, so well done!!

Correct way to remove a card off a computer is to click the little up-arrow next to your clock on the bottom of the screen, then hover over the tabs until you see SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE. You should then see a drop-down, showing the name of the card. Click on your card to eject it, then when you are prompted, remove it from the pc. Basically, what this does is it "kills" residual power to the card, thus eliminating any damaging power spikes.

Annie - try using a program called ZERO ASSUMPTION FILE RECOVERY (link). Just below Step 1 (near the top of the page) is the download link. This link also explains the processes involved, so that you get a better understanding of what you are seeing on-screen.

Good luck!

If you don't have any luck, you can send me the card, and I'll do the recovery for you. Just PM me if you choose that option.

Sounds like you're planning a DIY computer! Why not take a look at "off the shelf" desktop units? For about £300-400, you could get a decent rig (I bought a Win8 specc'ed desktop), then if you need a monitor seperately, you have plenty left over in your budget.

The great thing about most smartphones are that they have some sort of GPS system built-in (Google Maps, for instance), and in my experience, most, if not all, add this GPS data to photos captured with the smartphone. Whilst the images themselves are acceptable, the gps feature makes it a lot easier when geo-tagging your DSLR photos in the likes of Flickr, rather than manually pinning your DSLR images to your Flickr map.

Have you tried cleaning the contact pins on the camera and/or lenses, Nick? It sounds (from your description) possible that something is "bridging" between the pins, causing it to misbehave.

Welcome, Nick!!

If it's a fault with the electrics and or mechanics, you can either get Johnsons Photopia to have a look, and then quote for a repair, or you could try A.M. Technical Services in Shepperton (link). A few of the members here have used Alan's services and all appear happy with the work done, and the relative cost of repair.

Best of luck!
