I am not too sure. My camera gives the same problem but I am able to use the pictures, transform them, process them and so on. The JPEG data corruption can be handled as long as it is not fatal for applications. > 2)Is the image shown in the preview not read from the data of the > original picture(Is there some portion of the JPEG file which is > exclusively used for preview)? (How/Why in preview image is showing > properly while the actual image is said as corrupted?). It is not corruption. I don't think the transfer was improper or anything. It is just that the different software applications do not properly parse the EXIF standard or some such thing. > 3)What could have caused the problem.?
