Photos lost due to memory card corruption?

Memory card corruption is something that a user has to face at some or other point of time. Consequences of memory card corruption are quite obvious. There is a loss of all data stored into it, which includes various photos, videos, pictures, other music files, any other document, etc.

Going with a practical scenario, where you might witness the following error message while loading the memory card in your digital camera.

“The card is not formatted. Format the card?”

Once this error occurs, it won’t allow you to view photos saved on the memory card. Besides rendering the data inaccessible, it won’t allow you to save new photos onto it.

Reasons behind this corruption

The above message is an outcome of memory card corruption which could have crept due to interruption in the read/write process. An interruption in the read/write process can take place due to following reasons:

• Turning off the camera while you are transferring pictures to a computer

• Clicking photos with low batteries

• Removing the memory card while its content are still open on a computer (and many others)

• Virus infection

Solution

Formatting is the only solution to deal with this issue but it may cause data loss. Formatting removes all existing photos, now what to do? Well you can perform Photo Recovery on the card and get back all lost photos. Kernel for FAT and NTFS is advanced photo recovery software that recovers all lost, inaccessible photos, pictures, videos, etc.
