The storage media used in Nikon D300 are CF Type I and II, UDMA, and microdrive. Like any other sort of external storage devices, these media are so soft that data lost or deleted from them are lost or deleted for good, because they do not go to the recycle bin to get restored.

One can hope for recovery of the data by relying on a data backup process. There are, however, instances when a simple built-in facility of data backup cannot help. In this case, you need to use some powerful Picture recovery software.

Suppose, while you are viewing some photos on your camera, you accidentally pressed the format button. Or you have accidentally stumbled on your USB plugging it off your PC, or switched off your camera while data read/write or transfer process is in progress. Or you have simply deleted your photos from the device by mistake. All these mistakes lead to the loss of your important data, be it photos, audios or videos, after which you cannot view those ill-fated files. Even your attempt to access your card will repeatedly prompt some error message like 'Card not formatted', 'Card does not contain data', Card not initialized', etc. on your monitor.

Luckily, there are two options available in regard to memory card recovery needs. If you simply deleted your photos or deleted the memory card, run a data backup process. It may recover them.

However, if your pictures got lost due to the other errors or mishandling activities mentioned above, you need to reformat your card to make it usable again because these errors or mishandling actions have cause logical damage to your device making it unusable. Reformatting will delete all data already saved in the card, but it is necessary.

After your card is thus all right, run data backup process. It may recover the data. If this facility is not available or if it cannot serve the purpose, you need to rely on the other and last option: Use some powerful Digital picture recovery software. Programs to ensure lost photo recovery employ highly advanced methods and algorithms to cater to complex digital multimedia data recovery needs of the time.

Thus, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery v3.2 comprehensively recovers lost pictures of various formats from almost all storage media. Compatible with Windows and Apple Mac operating systems, this picture recovery application saves the recovered data in a user-specified location without modifying or overwriting the original files.
