In case you are desperate:

I would dd the complete flash to a file.

If you are not in the habit of deleting single pictures directly on the
camera then each files should be sequentially on your flash image.
Take a look at man file and man magic and find the magic jpg file start
string. Extract an image starting at a sector boundary with the magic
string until the end of the flash image (or maybe the next magic
string).
Try to open with various image programs.

Good luck
