Memory card is a popular flash storage media, which is considered safer than hard drive and other storage devices that contain moving components. You can store all types of files on memory card, including photos, songs, videos, documents, and graphic files. It is widely used in digital camera, mobile phone, portable music players, PDAs, portable computers, and more. In some cases, you may accidentally delete photos from the memory card or may unexpectedly format it. These situations cause grave photo loss and you need Memory Card Recovery to work around the issue.

In digital cameras, memory cards are used to store all the photos that you capture. However, the digital photos are more prone to loss as compared to the traditional film cameras as digital cameras have a utilitarian but unsafe delete feature or option. A fault operation might remove selected or all of the photos instantly from your memory card.

Now the question is- Do you also think that your valuable pictures are lost forever like various other digital camera users believe? If yes, then you are wrong. The files are still there on the memory card and are physically intact. Only the file system entries and file pointers of the files are deleted and thus the files are invisible and inaccessible.

Same as on the hard drive of your computer, when you save a file on memory card, a file system entry is created for that particular file in the file system table. The entry contains file name, storage location, file size, file pointer, and other relevant information. The file pointer is used by camera operating system to locate the files on memory card and access them. In case of deletion of the file, only file pointer is deleted. Lost photos remain physically intact, until they are overwritten.

If you have a complete and updated backup, restore your lost files from it to prevent need of Memory Card Data Recovery. In case of unavailability of backup, third-party recovery applications are required to extract deleted photos.

These tools are known as Memory Card Recovery Software. They perform extensive scan of whole memory card and retrieve lost, deleted, or missing photos from it. The Digital Memory Card Recovery applications are safe and easy to use.
