Caring for your Memory Card You might not be aware that memory cards which store photos are susceptible to a situation known as corruption. After repeatedly shooting photos, erasing a few, shooting more photos, erasing a few - you end up with lots of small amounts of information spread around the flash memory card. At some point, the information may be so spread out the camera or computer will not be able to re-assemble the photos. This error, which sometimes is shown as "Cannot Read Card" error, is the sign of a corrupted card. You need to be proactive and periodically copy all of your images from your camera to the computer. This is especially true in today's era of multi-gigabyte memory cards, which can store hundreds of pictures and videos. You need to organize them as you wish and back them up either to a second hard drive, online storage site , or removable storage such as a DVD. After ensuring you have copied off all of your images, and successfully backed them up, use a feature in your camera called 'Format.' This function erases all the information on the card, and resets the electronics on the card." Once you format a card, you have most likely permanently erased those images. Formatting is different than erasing selected photos, and even different from choosing an option some cameras have called Erase All. When you format a card, you also reset the electronic controller, or brain, on the card itself. And it's better to format cards in the camera instead of the computer. If your card does become corrupt we do have software that can, in many instances, recover your images. There is no guarantee that all images can be recovered. Some images may not be full images, not the whole picture. The good news is that in most case we can recover most of your images. Don't forget about Mom... Mother's Day is just around the corner so take advantage of our Spring Specials and get her something memorable. Our Spring Specials end April 31, 2010 so you better hurry!
