Digital cameras are mainly used to capture images, which use electronic sensors that record light as a digital computer file. You can view that image file immediately and then instantly you can transfer it to your computer. Later, you can edit those images, email them to others, display them on the web or print them. There are different types of digital cameras like Minicams, Point-and-Shoots, and Digital SLRs. Minicams are found in numerous devices from cellular phones to PDAs. Webcams are the examples for Minicams. Most of the non-professionals choose Point-and-Shoot camera that has a built-in lens and an image sensor. Whereas, digital SLR’s are commonly used by professional photographers. Digital cameras use memory cards to store the images. SD (Secure Digital) cards, Smart Media cards, XD (Extreme Digital) cards, MMC (Multi Media Cards), CF (Compact Flash) cards are the different types of memory cards, which are used by different digital cameras to store images. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the common method used for transferring images from digital camera to computer. If you accidentally remove the USB cable from the computer then your memory card may get corrupted, which does not allow you to access images from memory card resulting in loss of image files. In order to recover digital camera pictures after losing them from a memory card, you need to use relevant memory card recovery tool.
Generally, file system corruption is nothing but a memory card corruption. When the file system of memory card gets corrupted, your system may pop up error messages like “card error”, “No card”, “Card not initialized”, “Read/Write error” etc. These error messages make image files inaccessible resulting in loss of images. Malware or virus attack, improper system shutdown, power surges, abruptly removing the memory card from the card reader, improper startup procedures, improperly formatting the memory card etc are the most common reasons for file system corruption. When you connect your memory card to a computer in order to access data from it, immediately an inbuilt FSCK command checks it for any inconsistency. If it finds any discrepancy in memory card then it pops up an error. If you have not repaired that discrepancy, which is identified by FSCK command may result in file system corruption. This file system corruption may result in a loss of files.
Always, take a backup of essential files in order to avoid data loss. Use updated antivirus program to avoid loss of images due to virus attack. Make use of “Safely Remove Hardware” icon to properly disconnect memory card from the computer.
Memory card recovery is a proficient data recovery tool that uses special inbuilt algorithms to rapidly recover lost files from the memory card. This software can also recover deleted or lost audio files, video files, image files and text files from memory cards. SD, CF, MMC and XD memory cards are the different types of memory cards supported by this software. Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and Olympus are the major brands of the digital cameras supported by this software. Download free demo version to evaluate the chances of recovery.
