Since the storage memory of the SD memory cards is huge, at the same time data loss from these cards is also huge. One of the main reasons for data loss from SD memory cards is corruption of these cards. In most cases, you receive an error message after your card gets corrupted. However, an updated backup allows you to overcome data loss due to card corruption. But in case of unavailability of backup, you can use photo recovery software to recover data from a corrupted memory card.

Usually we receive an error message “Memory Card Error” while attempting to view some previously stored photos on SD memory card.

Every single photo saved in the memory card becomes inaccessible after the above error message appears. In addition, no more photos can be saved on card. In short, the card can not be read or written upon.

Most of the digital cameras in use today, make use of a flash memory card, for storage of the pictures taken using the camera. The flash memory cards come in different capacities, with the memory capacity ranging from a few Megabytes to a few Gigabytes. The memory card is no doubt an extremely useful storage device, but if not handled with care, it might create some trouble for the user.

The most common reason, for loss of photos from a flash memory card, occurs when the memory card is unplugged from the PC in an improper manner.

The structure of digital photo creation and storage

When one takes a photograph using a film type camera the light reflected off of the object being photographed is burned onto the film inside the camera. The lens and aperture precisely control this light so that the film can properly gradient the reflection of the image.

A digital camera works much the same way except that once the reflected image is captured on to hardware as opposed to a piece of film that image must be translated into a coded format. As with all digital information, it is stored as a series of zeros and ones. The structure of these determines the specific code being used. What makes this interesting is that the various digital camera manufacturers choose not to standardize their coding and each brand of high-end digital camera saves files in its own RAW files format, which makes the process to recover digital photos lost in a camera especially challenging.
