How to recover deleted photos from digital camera’s memory card?

Almost all digital cameras have to store photos in compact storage devices like memory cards, compact flash cards, SD cards, etc. Some low priced cameras use internal memory to store photos, but storage capacity of internal memory is very low. You can save only 20-25 photos over internal memory. If your cameras internal memory becomes full then you cannot able to take new photos unless you delete some old photos from the internal memory. So, to avoid this limitation, removable memory cards are used to store large number of pictures. If your digital cameras memory becomes full of photos then you can insert new removable memory card to store new photos. Smart Media cards, CF (Compact Flash) cards, XD (Extreme Digital) cards, MMC (Multi Media Card), SD (Secure Digital) cards, SD mini cards, SD micro cards are some different types of memory cards. These memory cards not only stores photos, they can store any type of files such as music files, text documents, video files etc. If you don’t want to delete some important photos from the camera then you can also use the important feature called “protect” or “lock”. These photos remain on memory card until you explicitly unprotect them.

Sometimes, accidental deletion of photos from memory card may results in photo loss. But user needs not worry about them as you can recover deleted photos using some third party digital photo recovery software application. If your memory card is connected to computer and you want to delete a photo then you can usually delete it from keyboard by pressing Del key. This is same as deleting some files from computer’s hard drives. To delete photo from the camera’s interface you have to navigate the camera’s menu system. Usually, you will have an option of deleting a single photo using “Delete” option and option of deleting all photos using “Delete all” option. Sometimes, instead of selecting “Delete” option if you select “Delete all” option, then it will delete all the photos present on the memory cards, which may results in photo loss.

So, care must be taken while selecting the option, because this operation cannot be undone from you image capturing device. You are supposed to create backup, to restore the photos after accidental deletion. If you have not created backup then also you can easily restore deleted photos using photo recovery software. Because, when you delete photo, only links pointing to the location of that particular photo get deleted. In reality, content present on that location will remain on memory card until they are overwritten with the new data. So, avoid saving or copying any new photos on the same memory card from where you have deleted the photos.
