Canon Powershot cameras are very popular for a reason. Highlighted by the PowerShot G11, S90 and S95 can handle the conditions thrown at them. However, this is a weak point for its vulnerability to undesirable loss of data in the form of images accidentally deleted or the memory card failure. However, complete recovery of photos from the Canon Powershot digital camera is usually in a few simple steps - this article will show you how.
Once you realize that your photos have been damaged ordeleted, it is advised that you stop using the SD card that has experienced the issue. If you continue to write to the same SD card you will further fragment the disk and lower your chances of fully recovering your lost pictures. Next, check your SD card for physical damage. Often times, dirt or dust can damage the connection between the card and the camera. Try gently cleaning the SD card with a dry soft cloth.
Now try connecting the SD card to your PC or Mac. If your computer recognizes the SD card but your photos are not there, you can still get them back using photo recovery software. This article will use Photo Retrieval 1.70 for Windows, but Disk Doctors for PC and Mac, and Wondershare Photo Recovery for PC and Mac are both good alternatives.
After you have downloaded Photo Retrieval 1.70 and installed to your PC, make sure that your SD card is connected to your computer, and run the software. The program will ask you which drive you want to scan - choose "removable drive." Next, when asked which file types to recover, choose.jpg for photos and whichever video format your powershot uses for video (check your users manual if you are unsure). Finally the program will show you previews of any images it can recover, and all you have to do is choose where you want to save the pictures.
