FORMATTING YOUR
MEMORY CARDS
These are frequent questions in my
digital photo classes: "What's with
card formatting? Do I really need to do it? I just
popped my card into my camera and everything seems to
work OK."
Formatting a card basically insures that
it is going to work right with your camera. Just like computers, memory cards have files
systems, folders, etc. When you use your camera to
format a card, it sets the card up the way the camera
needs it to be in order to function properly.
Now, for the most part, if you just
pop in the memory card it will usually
work.
However, formatting a card is a very
quick and painless procedure, so I recommend doing
it every time you pop the card into your
camera. Consult your camera manual to learn
how to format and always format using the camera you
will be using and not with your computer.
In addition to getting the card
ready to use with the camera, formatting can also can
fix minor problems. If your card and camera are not
getting along too well—lots of error messages, bad
writes, etc.—try formatting the card. Good digital
workflow practice is to format the memory card as soon
as you know you have copied the images to your
computer. Remember: formatting will delete
your image files forever.
IMAGE
RECOVERY
Can't see the images on your memory
card? This may result from turning off the camera
before it has written all of the image to the memory
card, the card has not been formatted for along time or
it has been exposed to a magnetic field. Don't despair!
Chances are good that you can recover your images using
simple and inexpensive data recovery software.
Before your format the card try Photo Rescue - I
have been using that product for several years now and
it has never failed me.

confirm recoverability of your image files click here:
