How to recover deleted photos from your SD card
It’s happened to the best of us. Whether your digital camera fell into the wrong (toddler’s) hands, or you had a momentary lapse of eye-hand coordination when faced with a “Delete All” message, chances are you or someone you know has accidentally deleted precious photos from a camera’s memory card.
Relax. Chances are good that you can recover those files, as long as you haven’t taken any more photos or written anything else to the card.
As I mentioned in a post on this topic last year, the simple delete command on most cameras just marks the space on a memory card as being available for use rather than overwriting the actual space on the card. As long as you don’t record anything new onto the card, previously deleted photos should be relatively easy to recover using a file recovery utility.
