Digital Cameras: How To Undelete Photos

Sometimes it’s just too easy to delete photo files on your digital camera. Maybe because your camera’s designers wanted an easy way to delete photos while they were testing the design. A couple of clicks and that unwanted photo is gone forever. Problem is, it’s also quick and easy to delete a photo instead of preserving 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. Blast!

Now, if that was on your computer you’d likely go into the recycle bin and restore the photo you’d just deleted in error.

Unfortunately, you can’t normally do the same on your digital camera. So does that mean that your precious photo is lost forever?

Fortunately, the answer is “no”.

But you need to be careful. The memory card in your camera is quite a lot like the system on your PC’s disk drive. 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. Instead, it’s just given itself a note that the space is available to be used again.

Which means if you’ve deleted a photo in error, stop doing anything with 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.

All you need to do is connect your camera to your PC in the same way as you would to download photos from it. Then follow a few simple, step by step instructions. You can watch a demo of how this works here.

The undelete photo software can recover single photographs, complete memory cards (for instance, if you’ve accidentally formatted your memory card) and also has a high rate of success with those annoying errors that can affect memory cards.

It’s as simple as that to get back all those photos that you thought had been lost forever.
