Camera compatibility list for photo recovery

ZAR has been discontinued
After about twenty years, I felt ZAR can no longer be updated to match the modern requirements, and I decided to retire it.

ZAR is replaced by Klennet Recovery, my new general-purpose DIY data recovery software.

If you are looking specifically for recovery of image files (like JPEG, CR2, and NEF), take a look at Klennet Carver, a separate video and photo recovery software.
Known camera compatibility list

Since 2000 ZAR is a leading photo recovery software which is proved by millions of successful recoveries. Nowadays ZAR photo recovery software is compatible with most of cameras. Following is the known camera compatibility list. If you experience problems with a listed camera or have successfully recovered your images from a camera not listed yet, please submit your camera model data on the support page , so we can update  this list.

  • "No support at all"/"not compatible" indicates that files created/deleted by this device cannot be recovered under any circumstances.
