No picture goes into oblivion after deletion 

It's a common perception that if you delete pictures from a camera's memory card or format it, you are at a great loss until and unless you have a valid backup to undo the damage. The pictures – lost or deleted – can be easily recovered (yes, even if you don't have a backup) in almost all scenarios including accidental deletion, unintentional or intentional formatting, file system damage, corrupt memory card and many more.

To elaborate, when a picture (which is a file) is deleted from a digital camera's memory card, its index entry gets deleted whereas the data remains intact at the same place. Therefore, you can recover deleted photos   by using an efficient deleted picture recovery utility before the free space (left by deleted file) gets overwritten by a new file.

Act timely in order to achieve best results 

It is true that a recovery utility can recover pictures but it can work successfully only if there is no overwriting on the card post a data loss event. Hence, you must not use the memory card before you recover the lost pictures from it. In a nutshell, you should go for immediate recovery in order to get 100 per cent successful results.

Recovery utility – advantages

A good deleted picture recovery software will enable you to recover pictures, irrespective of the file format and memory card type. Moreover, such tools are equipped with simple and interactive graphical user interface and hence you need not acquire any technical knowledge to use them for recovery.
