Although, The SD/SDHC memory card is a good storage device. However, it is more prone to corrupt resulting loss of data in several situations.
Take a Scenario: You are busy capturing the photos of your lovely son. Suddenly, an error message pops up on the Camera Screen:
“Card Error”
Cause:
The reasons of memory card corruption may be Virus Attack, input/output error, low battery at the time of capturing the photos, interruption of read/write process etc.
Resolution:
When you encounter such an error message then stop using the Camera immediately. Do not write any other data on the inserted memory card because overwriting with new data may loose the hope of previous data. In the same way, formatting of memory card will also loose the hope of data recovery.
If you have updated backup then there is no need to worry. Just update your memory with updated back. But in absence of updated backup, you need to seek for a efficient Photo Recovery Software.
