The precious moments of your life, those are captured with the camera, in the form of photos and are saved on the memory card. Photography has become easy with the arrival of the digital camera as it just involves simple options to capture, store and view. With the help of digital cameras, you can capture any thing any time accurately. Memory card is used to store the photos that are taken using these digital cameras. Any sort of corruption caused to the memory card can result in inaccessibility of the photos stored on them. If you have a habit of taking regular backup of your memory card then you can easily recover the photos from the backup even after formatting the card to bring it back to the working condition. However, in case of the absence of proper backup, you can restore photo, audio and video files by using photo recovery software.

Various reasons for loss of pictures include some of the following listed below:

Some causes that result in corruption in the memory card ending up in inaccessibility of the photos are as follows -

• Accidentally deleting one or more photos, music and other media files
• Ejecting the memory card abruptly or turning off the camera or device that has the memory card during read / write process
• Corruption / damage to the memory card, memory stick or other digital media
• Corruption in the file system
• Errors while read / write processes
• Taking out the memory card while its files are opened in a computer / laptop
• Interrupting the transfer process from digital media to computer / laptop
• Using the same memory card in different cameras
• Accidentally or intentionally formatting the memory card when connected to the computer or using the format option in the camera
• Capturing photos when the camera is low on battery
• Storing data even when the storage space is almost full

The solution to all the above problems that result in corruption is to format the memory card. As formatting the memory card, will surely bring it back into working condition. However, it would lead to loss of the photos saved in it by erasing the entries from the partition table of the file system (memory card) though they are actually present in the card. If you have a proper recent backup, you can easily undelete pictures, music, RAW image files and video files from it. But in absence of backup file, you can easily recover the lost / deleted photos by making use of the effective digital camera photo recovery software. This software implements advanced algorithms to find and restore the photos from the corrupt / damaged memory card, SD card, XD card, MMC, compact flash card, USB drive, hard disk drive or external HDD. The recovered photos and other media files can be previewed before actually saving them. These recovered media files can be saved to any preferred location or to a CD / DVD.
