Photos lost due to pulling out the memory card

Photos give us a way of traveling back in time. Digital cameras and memory cards go hand-in-hand to capture all those beautiful moments. It is heart-wrenching to even think of anything going wrong with photographs. However, there are times when things go wrong with the camera, the memory card gets affected, and multimedia files stored on it get lost or deleted. One should never trust technology blindly. A back-up of all the pictures is vital. This is done just as a precaution, in case something can go drastically wrong with your photos. However, even when no back-up is available, you can always turn to an Image Recovery Software to safely recover all those lost files.

For example, imagine a girl who has just bought a new camera for her prom night. She has some of the most memorable moments of her life captured on camera. The memory card in use gets full, therefore she changes the card. Later at home, while trying to upload the pictures, she receives an error message which does not allow her to even view the photos, let alone upload them.

The reason behind the inaccessibility of her photos is that she interrupted the read-write process used by the camera to write pictures to the memory card. The card was pulled out while the camera was on. This corrupts the card and thus does not allow the girl to even view the data thereon.

Understanding the way a card and the camera interact, helps us recoup data to it's original destination. The camera data is saved on the memory card in the file system. When we say a card is corrupt, it is actually this file system that gets damaged or corrupted

Thus the solution to the problem is simple—set up a new file system. To do so, one only needs to format the card. It is recommended that this step be done in the camera itself. Formatting the card, deletes the old file system and sets up a new one in its place. During this process all the data also gets deleted. This data can only be recovered using an Image Recovery Software . These are tools that can perform Image Recovery from all kinds of storage devices. They simply need to be downloaded onto the computer and then run while the memory card (or any other storage media) is connected to the computer.
