Re: Unreadable x3f files repair

If that can help, below is a display of the beginning of the data in the top half, and then an undamaged X3F file in the bottom half, with X3F headers and pointers.

Your data looks like compressed chunks with five x"FC FF D9" delimiters, so jpg recovery are more adapted that X3F-oriented tools or utilities as I don't find the common X3F raw section delimiters in the data.

The file 14072352 bytes in size (multiple of 32)

Hexadecimal view ; top is recovered file, bottom is normal X3F
