The professional Canon EOS-1D DSLR takes images in RAW and JPEG formats, and store them on its storage media of Type I and II CF cards. In spite of their built-in data safeguard technologies, CF cards can anytime get logically damaged leading to loss of photos. The computer's built-in data backup program may sometimes not be able to recover photos thus lost. Then comes a need to look round for some effective photo recovery tools.

Sometimes photographers, specially novices, are jolted when they find their memory cards empty when they, just back home from the shooting schedule, try to view or transfer them for further photographic processes. What could have he done in between his successful taking of the pictures and his attempt to transfer them now to a PC that committed this murderous mistake?

Cause:

What could the photographer have done that has pitched him into this terrible shock? If he did not try any data transfer between taking photos and loss discovery, he must have committed any of the following fatal errors:

• deleting all the photos (which is the least possible if the photographer is abnormally absentminded)
• formatting the card accidentally,
• removing the card or its popping out from the camera while reviewing the shots, etc.

In case of the last possibility, the card is logically damaged, and the error message 'Err CF' will get prompted on the monitor in response to every access attempt.

Solution:

The first possible solution is the computer's data backup program. All the photos lost from the above listed errors may perhaps be recovered through this program. For the last case, the memory cards needs to be made usable again by formatting before backup. No new data should be written on the card to avoid risking data overwriting making recovery impossible.

If the problem still persists, use some powerful digital photo recovery software. Such programs employ highly advanced methods to provide comprehensive photo recovery solutions needed at the time.

Along this line, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery v3.2 comprehensively recovers lost multimedia files of various formats from almost all storage media. Compatible with Windows and Apple Mac operating systems, this digital photo recoveryapplication saves the recovered data in a user-specified location without modifying or overwriting the original files.
