If you are a Canon digital camera owner, you might have been confronted with the picture deletion problem when you once pressed the wrong button and wiped all of your photos off the device accidentally before making any backups, when you erased some photos which were considered not satisfactory previously but later you wanted to retrieve, or when you intended to spare more space on the memory card by deleting some useless pictures, but mistakenly deleted the valuable ones. Or your photos might have been removed when the memory card inside your device was formatted erroneously, when the memory card was damaged, used in several devices or was inserted or pulled out while the camera was on, when the transference to a computer failed, or when there was sudden power off. You might wonder whether there was any solution to the problem and if you could get the photos that took much of your time shooting and recorded lots of important moments in your life back.
Here is the answer to your question: yes, they can be undeleted. When you conduct a delete command to the photos on your digital camera or the photos are erased systematically from it, the photo does not truly disappear. It is still stored on the memory card of your camera, perhaps an SD card, a CF card, an MMC card or others. Only the space taken up by the erased photos prior to the removal is marked as reusable, meaning it is free for new photos to overwrite. Once new photos occupy the reusable space, the erased ones will be overwritten, leaving no chance of being restored. As a result, in the first place, you should stop taking new photos with your camera to prevent photo overwriting.
