Fake out

This is not my first camera, nor the first time I have deleted pictures of high personal value. But this the first time I have recovered them all. A quick google search is all that is needed to start you on the path to photo recovery. There are a ton of forums and sites that offer programs that show the deleted pictures.

Time Out.

When you ‘delete’ pictures from your camera, you have not done anything but reset the pointer (where the computer is told the files are located). The files are digitally there until you write over them via by taking more pictures or reformatting the drive. Going a little further into the technical depth, everything digital is a 1 or a 0. Everything. SD cards (the ones for your camera) are like a dry erase boards. Imagine the marker can erase pervious information and write new information at the same time. When you instruct the board to be erased, you are just telling the scribe to go back to the beginning of the board and prepare to write new stuff. So none of the info on the board is erased until the scribe gets to that section. So now ya know.

So I spent about 20 minutes reading forums and downloaded 2 programs. The first was junk so I removed it. The other rocked and got my pictures back. The highest rated app on CNET was Recuva so I tried that. I don’t recommend downloading a bunch of software without reading into it. A lot of them come jam packed with adware and spyware.

Anywho. I got my pics back. Heres the link to see some.
