A mini memory card used to store photos in a digital camera often fails, causing all data on it to be lost. Also, sometimes the user deletes information from it by his own mistake. In such situations, you can programmatically recover the lost data.
Instructions
Step 1
Explore the functions of your camera. Some models provide for canceling the deletion of photos and restoring them with one press of the corresponding key. Also, sometimes the device itself or its user, for various reasons, renames the section in which the photos are saved. Try resetting the settings to their original state and check if photos appear on the memory card.
Step 2
Download and install one of the file recovery programs that will help you get deleted photos back on your memory card. The most popular and free ones are Smart Recovery, Pandora Recovery, Recover Files and some others that you can download on the Internet.
Step 3
Connect your digital camera to your personal computer. Use the supplied USB cable for this. Next, click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop and select the removable media marked with the name of your camera.
Step 4
Run the file recovery program. Click on the "Start" button, then "All Programs" and select the folder with the name of the corresponding software. Click on the launcher icon. Customize the data recovery procedure. Select the digital camera drive (E: or F:) and then the folder where the recovered photos will be saved.
Step 5
Recover deleted photos. Click on the button to start the file recovery process, which is usually located on the main panel of the application. Wait for the operation to complete. Navigate to the folder designated for saving the recovered photos. Check if the missing files were successfully returned. Unfortunately, if some photos cannot be restored using the application, most likely they have been overwritten, and therefore there is no way to restore them.
