Welcome to Episode number 58! Jim reviews Photorescue and highly recommends the program to recover lost files from corrupt or formatted memory cards. A free trial can be downloaded from http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/. The program is available for both the Mac and PC platforms. Also, this is big cat week at the Fotobug. A photographer in Botswana captured a sequence of images of a lioness attacking a crocodile to allow her cubs to cross a river. In addition, Fred captured a sequence of a pair of bobcats that crossed the road at a northern Florida state park. In the news, Canon releases firmware version 2.0 for the 7D, Triggertrap has updated the software for Triggertrap Mobile, and Canon recognizes a focus problem with their new 40mm pancake lens.
