Several reasons, from improper handling to technical glitches, can lead to photo loss from memory cards. To preserve your photos for a longer duration, avoid the following:
- Accidental deletion
- Formatting the memory card
- Malware can corrupt or delete the images on the memory card
- Improper insertion or removal of the card from the camera, card reader, computer, or other devices
- Removing the memory card from the device while its files are open or transferred
- Clicking photos when the camera battery is low interrupts the ongoing photo-writing process
- Pulling out the memory card without switching off the camera
- Clicking photos rapidly without giving sufficient time to the camera to write over the memory card
- Continuing to capture pictures even after receiving "memory card full" warning
- Sudden power cut while transferring files to the computer
- Using the same memory card in different devices without formatting
