Sometimes it’s just too easy to erase photos from your digital camera. It’s as though the designers made this easy for themselves when they were testing the design. One or two button presses and that third rate photo has disappeared. The snag is, that means it’s a bit too easy to remove a photo instead of saving it, to be later transferred to your computer or passed around the internet. or even worse, you’ve answered “yes” to the question that needed to know if you wanted to format your complete camera memory card contents. Bother!
Now, if that was on your computer you’d just open up the recycle bin and restore the photo you’d just deleted in error.
But there’s no recycle bin on your digital camera. Does this problem mean that the photos you took so much time taking are now just digital dust?
Luckily, the answer to that question is “no”.
But you need to be cautious. Camera memories work much the same way as hard disks. The available files in the menu are ones that you haven’t deleted. But the filing system hasn’t actually scrubbed all the data that makes up the photo. What it’s actually done is marked the “deleted” photo’s space as ready to re-use..
So if you’ve accidentally erased a photo, don’t do anything else on your camera before you’ve done your best to retrieve your lost work of art.
There’s a simple piece of software that you can download which will come to the rescue.
It’s as simple as hooking up your camera to your computer as you’d normally do. Then click the “next” button on the software. You can watch a demo of how this works here.
The undelete photo software can recover single photographs, complete memory cards (in those instances where the card has been totally formatted) and also has a high rate of success with those annoying errors that can affect memory cards.
That’s all it takes to recover all your precious photos from your camera.
