This page is a chapter in the book AusPhotography Guide to Safer Computing.
Sometimes people format a camera memory card or delete files they don't mean to.

What to do? STOP - don't do anything (take more pictures or format) until you at least attempt to recover the missing information.

Here are some links to some software that may help.

We recommend you keep a copy of at least one of these on hand just in case.
