Regarding digital camera photos?

Question

I just went away, I took about 300 snaps, and while I was there, I was fiddling with the dials on the camera... do'h.  When I got back and downloaded my shots, some come out white like they are blocked. others are fine.. the size of the photo reads 1.2 mb.. so I know there is something there, but I can't open the photo.. I thought I might have protected them by accident.  I sent them back to the memory card to on the camera, but there they read file error.  Anyone know if there is anything I can do to open these pics.  It is a sony digital dcs p10
Cheers

If you are able to open the file on your computer and all you see is white...you have over exposed photos. It isn't an error at all with the file.

The bad thing about over exposed photos is that you can't fix them in any photo editor.

As to the card showing 1.2mb, this is quite normal. There is always a folder created when you format the card which shows as 'DCIM' when you open it. You click on that folder which opens to show the folder(s) containing the photographs. As to image dsc00255 what is saying it can't open it? The camera or your computer? If the latter is it telling you that it is in a format that can't be read - for example, did you take one shot in RAW format?. If so, you will need to use the software which came with the camera to open and then convert to .jpeg or .tiff
