See the whole gallery here Tech Support Question: I've been told two different ways to empty my camera's SD card: to use the camera's "Erase All" feature or to format the card. I've been told each way is the only way you should do it, and I've heard you shouldn't empty the card using your computer. What's the proper way to delete pictures. From: Helaine Cummins, Los Angeles, CA Answer: The best way is to format the card in the camera you're planning to use. This not only erases the images ("erase" or "delete" actually don't) but actually cleans up the card. The formatting process rebuilds the file system and can identify bad sectors on the card to sequester them. Got a question? E-mail us at PopPhoto@bonniercorp.com.

See the whole gallery here Tech Support Question: While taking pictures with my Leica D-Lux 3, I suddenly got a message that the SD memory card was corrupted. Nothing I tried worked, and I lost 65 pictures of a family event. What caused this, and how can I prevent it from happening again? is there any way to retrieve photos after a card has been corrupted? From: Michael Kisver of Jericho, NY. Answer: Starting from the beginning: Always buy name-brand memory cards from a reputable dealer (others may be selling counterfeit cards). Format the cards frequently—every time you offload images from the card is not a bad idea. Be sure the camera completes writing to the card before removing it. Finally, if the worst does happen, try recovery software such as Lexar Image Rescue 4 or Sandisk RescuePro 3.2. These are available for download purchase and are sometimes bundled with higher-end memory cards. They work across different brands, so you need to obtain just one. Got a question?
