Causes of memory card corruption
- Turning
off a camera before an image is completely written to the memory card.
- Removing
the memory card from a camera while an image is being written to the card.
- Removing
the card from a memory card reader while files are still being transferred
to a computer.
- Batteries
conking out as files are being transferred directly from the camera to a
computer. Note: always make sure you have fully charged batteries before
transferring images.
- Removing
the card from a card reader while folders and files from the card are open
on a computer.
- Opening,
deleting, renaming or moving files on the card while its contents are open
on a computer.
- Using
a memory card which has not been formatted in the camera. Use the
delete/erase function when needed, however a card should be regularly
formatted.
- Formatting
a card in a computer instead of the camera. Formatting a memory card in a
computer can slow down data processing when it’s used in the camera. With
some memory cards, formatting via a computer may result in compatibility
and operational problems. [Related reading: Why

- Inserting
a second memory card into a card reader before closing and removing the
first when viewing images on the card from a computer.
- Taking
photos when camera batteries are nearly empty.
- Taking
photos too rapidly so the camera can not complete writing one image before
starting the next.
- Continually
shooting and deleting, shooting and deleting images when the card is full.
- Letting
a memory card get too full before downloading the images to a computer or
storage device. Cards that are too full may overwrite the card headers.
- Using
a memory card from one camera in a different camera without formatting it
in the new camera first.
