Corruption or damage of flash/memory cards primarily results into an error message, which prevents it from performing normally. In most cases of an error message occurrence, the data stored in your memory card becomes inaccessible. Memory card corruption often occurs due to human errors discussed below:

• Switching off digital camera before the data is completely written to the memory/flash card.
• Removing the memory card while the data is being transferred to your system.
• Battery empty while the data is being transferred from the memory card to your PC.
• Formatting the memory card in your computer.
• Continuous shooting of pictures while your memory card is full.
• Renaming, deleting, and moving data on memory card while its contents are open on your PC.
• Storing pictures too rapidly when the camera complete writing one picture before starting the next.
