How to Fix a ‘Memory Card Error’ on Canon PowerShot SD780 IS

Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is one of the professional choices for digital photography due to its unbeatable point-and-shoot specifications. When it comes to storage, the camera supports standard storage media such as SD / SDHC memory cards, MMC cards, HC MMC Plus cards, and MMC Plus cards. Canon PowerShot SD780 IS captures digital still images in JPEG file format and movies in MOV format. In short, simple data storage and advanced features make the camera popular and highly usable. However, it is recommended to always keep a backup of all your digital images and movie clips to avoid data loss. Events such as memory card corruption and accidental file deletion can cause your precious memories to be lost and require you to use applications such as photo recovery software.

Suppose the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS camera is connected to a computer and you are copying some images to its external memory (SD card). Then all of a sudden you remove the camera from the computer without considering that a read / write process is running. Next time when I try to view the images on the same Canon PowerShot SD780 IS SD card, it cannot be accessed and an error appears instead:

“Memory card error.”

Apart from the instance, shown above, the ‘memory card error’ can also occur due to many other reasons.

Since the memory card cannot be used, the only solution to make it work is to reformat the memory card. Reformatting the memory card is not a safe option (as it leads to the loss of all graphics and video files) unless you have a backup of all your valuable files. Therefore, in cases where you do not have a valid data backup, you need a third-party utility to recover deleted photos.

Photo Recovery software is designed to scan a digital storage medium using efficient scanning algorithms and is competent to restore data without making any changes to the original data. Due to their interactive design, these tools are quite easy to use.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a comprehensive utility that restores lost and deleted digital files including audios, videos, and photos from a variety of storage media, including SD / SDHC cards, MMC cards, xD cards, CF cards, CDs, DVDs, disc hard drives, iPods, digital cameras and more. With standalone versions available for Windows and Mac, this software can recover deleted photos using advanced but safe procedures.
