Recover lost photos from SD Cards in Canon Cameras

Canon doesn't need an introduction in the world of digital imaging. The company is well-known for its range of digital cameras which have made photography a cakewalk for even non-professional photographers. These cameras are compatible with SD (Secure Digital) and SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards.

A user can bank upon the enormous storage space for creating a data bank of images. These cards, like any other storage media, are prone to corruption in cases such as an interruption in read/write process, a virus infection or human error. Due to corruption in memory card, your Canon camera is bound to give certain errors which will restrict you from accessing the saved images. However, it is very much possible to access the images from a corrupted sd card by using an sd card recovery software.

As a practical case, imagine you are in the process of clicking images of your kid's first steps with your Canon camera and suddenly it turns off.

When you charge the battery again and start viewing the images, you may encounter the following error:

"Read/Write Error"

As a result of the above error, your previously saved images become inaccessible. Moreover, you won't be able to click and save new images on the camera. Don't despair, you haven't lost the images of your kids permanently. There is a way to recover them but before that it is important to understand the causes of the above error.

Cause :

The error which baffled the Canon user popped up as a result of SD card corruption.

Resolution :

• Try and access the images by connecting the Camera to a computer
• Or you can use a card reader to access the images
• If both options fail, you have to format the SD card

Formatting will fix the problem and make the SD card fit to be used again by your Canon camera. But this solution has its own limitation, as you would end up losing the data stored on the card. Formatting installs the new file system in the card and hence erases the old entries. Recovering the data in such cases is not a major headache when you have a sd card recovery tool .

A sd card data recovery is designed to deal such cases of data loss. These third-party applications are non-destructive in nature as they restore data in original form.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a wonderful product which is capable of recovering all your lost/deleted pictures, audios, videos etc from various photo loss situations of SD Cards.

The SD Card recovery software, which supports Canon (CRW, CR2) file formats, is available in two versions for both Windows and Mac users.
