What To Do When SD Memory Card Data Loss Occurs

If you notice damaged or missing photos on your SD card, you may feel tempted to try to fix the problem yourself. However, the last thing you want is to damage your SD card further or accidentally delete more photos. Instead, the best way to recover your photos and prevent future loss is to:

Turn off the camera

Hold down the power button to turn off your camera or smartphone. Doing so will prevent any future activity from damaging the card further.

Step 1

Remove the card

If your card is still in your digital camera, drones, or smartphone, carefully remove it from the device. Try not to force the card if it appears stuck you do not want to cause any more physical damage. If you cannot get the card out of your device, you can drop off the device or ship it out to a recovery center for assistance.

Step 2

Stop using the card

Stop using the memory card as soon as you suspect data loss has occurred to prevent the deleted files from being overwritten by new data, making them unrecoverable.

How To Recover Deleted Files From Memory Card

To recover lost or deleted files from a memory card using Wondershare Recoverit, follow these simple steps after downloading and installing the software on your Windows or Mac PC.

• Step 1: Choose the Memory Card
  Launch the program. In the Hard Drives and Locations interface, select the SD card, CF card, MMC card, or any other memory card connected to the computer from which you want to recover data. Recoverit initiates both Quick Scan and Deep Scan simultaneously for lost files upon selecting the memory card.
• Step 2: Scan for Lost Data
  The scanned files will gradually appear on the screen, and users can interrupt the scan at any time once they find the desired files. With its comprehensive recovery database, Recoverit recognizes over 1000 different file types during the scanning process, encompassing a wide range of files commonly used on memory cards and digital devices.

  • 2.1 Use “Filters” to Quickly Sort the Desired Files
    You can easily categorize the scanned files by file type, date, file size, and other criteria. For example, you can selectively view Pictures, Videos, Audio, Documents, Archives, and other specific file types to streamline your search. Why waste time sifting through everything when you can focus solely on the videos that can be successfully recovered?
  • 2.2 Use the "Search" Function to Locate Files
    If you have the specific file name in mind, simply enter it into the search bar of the memory card data recovery application. The search function supports the use of wildcards, allowing you to quickly locate the file by entering part of its name or relevant keywords. This feature saves you valuable time by bypassing the need to manually sort through the recovery results.
  • 2.3 Preview and Repair Files
    Recoverit supports previewing all common file types. The trial version allows for previewing videos up to 30s. Additionally, the preview feature automatically repairs damaged document files and images, ensuring a smooth preview experience. If you encounter corrupt video files, you can utilize the Video Repair feature to repair them after the recovery process.
• Step 3: Recover Files From Memory Card
  Finally, select the files you want to recover and click on Recover. Recoverit will prompt you to choose a destination path for saving the recovered files. It is advised not to save them to the SD card that experienced data loss to avoid potential file corruption or data overwriting during the recovery process.
