Battery Failure In Camcorder Leads To Video Loss

A digital camcorder functions on the same principle as any other hard drive does

. It uses a read-write process to record videos onto the memory card (or any other storage device being used). You can not predict when the battery of your camcorder starts malfunctioning.

This sometimes leads to problems with the read-write process of the card, rendering videos thereon as inaccessible. It is advised to always keep a back-up of the videos on another storage device. If for some reason you don't have the back-up, or it is inaccessible, you can always use a video recovery software to recover videos and other files in the card.

A common instance you may come across is when you are out on a vacation and your camcorder reads out the 'battery low' sign. You still keep on clicking photos till the battery gets completely discharged and the camcorder then shuts down.

The camcorder uses a read-write process to record data onto the card. Switching the camera off in the middle of this read-write process causes data thereon to become inaccessible. When the camcorder battery is low, and it gets switched off while taking a video, the write process is interrupted. On the other hand, if you are using it to view videos already on the card, it is the read process that breaks. In both cases, your video (and other) files become unavailable.

To resolve this problem, you will need to reformat the card. This erases the old file system and sets-up a new one in it's place. Thus reformatting the card causes the data to get deleted.

You should always maintain a back-up of the videos taken. If you have one then, after reformatting the card recoup the videos from the back-up. If there is no copy of the files available, then use a Video Recovery Software to salvage the videos. The software scans the file system and performs Video Recovery for all the lost videos. It can penetrate the formatted file system and recover old data from the deleted partition.
