Hey,

I just took some pictured with my Digilux 3 and used a Panasonix memory card. I got home and as I put in the memory card into my memory card reader my windows explorer wouldnt load or the card wouldnt show up. It showed up one but but just gave me and error as I was trying to acces the folder. It doesnt work on my ipad either or trough the cavle but I can access all photos on the camera itself. Please help.

Windows 11

Digilux 3

Panasonic 16gb

Did you reformat the card in the camera before using it?  You cannot use a card from another camera without doing so.

I think my uncle did that. It worked previously, it just stopped working yesterday all of a sudden.

Check your card reader.

Kinda did that. I tried transfering photos via the cable which uses the onboard card reader in the camera and that didnt work either. And its not the usb slot, I tested that.

For USB you have to use the right type of cable and set the camera to PC. I am not sure if a modern PC can read a camera designed for Windows 98. 
Just  buy a 5$ card reader and try if that works. If that fails and the computer can still see the card but not the files try recovery software <Google>.
