subject: Effortlessly Restore Deleted Photos In Any Digital Camera [print this page] Pictures accidentally deleted in a memory card of a digital camera are never permanently wiped off. The technology used to make digital cameras makes it possible to restore deleted photos. The technology used to make the digital camera works just as the technology used to make the hard disk of a computer. Both the hard disk of a computer and the memory card of a digital camera do not permanently delete files.
Photo restoration in a digital camera is made possible by the fact that upon deletion of a photo in a digital camera, the space freed is normally never written upon. This means that although the space freed will be marked as usable in the camera, the photo deleted will still be in the camera's memory. However, formatting the camera or continuing to use the camera before restoration of accidentally deleted photos may make it impossible to restore the pictures. Once a person has realized that some pictures have been accidentally deleted, the camera should not be used until the photos have been restored.
The first step in restoring photos accidentally deleted in a digital camera is to connect the camera directly to the computer. Once the camera has been connected to a computer, it should be located as a drive in 'My computer'. If it is not possible to locate the camera as a drive, the camera should be removed from the computer and the memory card removed from the camera.
The memory card removed from the camera should be inserted in a card reader. The card reader is a hardware that is used in data and photo recovery. The card reader can be purchased cheaply at Wall-Mart or other local stores. This hardware can also be purchased at online shops like E Bay and Amazon.
The card reader or the camera should be connected to the computer through an USB port. Once this hardware is connected to the computer, what will be required is photo recovery software. There are many photo recovery software's available for free online. The top 5 photo restoration software's are: Stellar, Recuva and ZAR photo restoration software.
Installation of these software's should be done using the procedure that is normally followed in installing other software's. When using a photo restoration software, details about the destination location to store recovered pictures, the file types being recovered and the drive letter of the card reader or the digital camera should be specified. The software may also require one to specify other details.
The speed of the photo restoration process will depend on the number of photos being restored and the capacity of the digital camera. The restored pictures will be saved in the location specified. One can preview the restored pictures as thumbnails.
With today's modern technology, it is possible to restore deleted photos effortlessly. Restoration of accidentally deleted pictures in a digital camera is possible because the technology that is used to make digital cameras does not allow for permanent deletion of photos. The restoration of deleted photos will be done easily and faster using photo retrieval software.
