10 Tips to Avoid Memory

Card Problems (Tips & Tricks)

IntroductionOnce you take photos, the memory card becomes one of the important parts of your digital camera, because you will need it to transfer photos safely on your computer. You connected your camera to computer and trying to access memory card, but it displays the error message.

Well, just like any other technology, many things can go wrong with memory cards. And the last thing that you do not want is to lose all your photos and data saved on your card.

Though new memory card comes “preformatted”, but still it is recommended that you must format it again with your own camera, phone, etc. Format the card when it is inserted in your camera and not in your PC when it is inserted into card reader.

So, here are 10 tips that will help you to prevent or fall into any kind of memory card disaster.Tips 1 - 10#1 – Format the New Memory Card

Since the modern camera notifies you that how much photos you can take till your card get full. But this number is only an estimate, therefore it is recommended that you must leave some extra space on your card. If you still take photos when you card memory is full then you may corrupt the existing data.

#2 – Always Leave Few Memory on Your Memory Card

People like to have and keep huge capacity memory cards that have more memory space. But what if your 128GB card fails? You will lose all your important photos and other data. Therefore, you should use multiple small cards to lessen the chances of card corruption and loss of photos.

#3 – Instead of Big Memory Card, use Multiple Small Cards

If you want to delete all photos from your memory card then instead of deleting them you must format your card, but remember to transfer those photos on your PC first. Formatting the card makes them as new one and it will also fix any disk errors that may have occurred earlier.

#4 – Instead of Deleting all Photos Format your Card

It is recommended that you must always safely “eject” your memory card from any digital gadgets, as it will help you to avoid any memory card corruption. So, next time when you are done with transferring photos from camera to PC, you must eject your card safely.

#5 – You Should Safely “Eject” your Memory Card

If you have taken photos from your digital camera then don’t insert the same card on your Smartphone to take more pictures. It is because different gadgets have different file system requirements. So, if you mix them, then you may end up with data corruption.

#6 – Don’t Use the Same Card on Multiple Gadgets

You should “TURN OFF” your camera before you remove card from it, this is to avoid any photo or data corruption. But, if you still eject the card while your camera is ON, then there are chances that your camera is reading/writing the card and as result it might damage the data stored on the card.

#7 – Switch OFF your Camera Before you Remove the Memory Card

It is possible that your photos may get disappeared “mysteriously” if you use cheap memory cards and hence it is suggested that you should use good quality memory cards. Well, it does not mean you should go for top brands but it is also not suggested to go for cheap ones. In my opinion you may go for SanDisk, Transcend, Lexar and Samsung.

#8 – Use only Good Quality Memory Cards

Therefore it is essential that you must use only good quality card reader. The best thing you can do is to use same brand memory card as well as card reader.

Since, card reader function is to read-only, but if you are using any cheap quality car reader then it can easily corrupt the data stored on your memory card.

#9 – Use Good Quality Card Reader

Little amount of dust or water can damage your memory card. The dust may avoid the reading/writing of card and as a result you can’t access the photos and other data stored on it. So, you must protect them and keep them in safe place. You may use the case that came with the card (or get one if they don’t come with a case).

#10 – Always Keep your Cards in a Safest Place

If you follow the above mentioned tips then you will definitely going to prevent memory card errors and problems and will make your memory card last longer.
