Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices. It is widely used in digital cameras, digital camcorders, handheld computers, netbook computers, PDAs, media players, mobile phones, GPS receivers, and video games. Standard SD cards have an official maximum capacity of 2 GB, though technically they can store up to 4 GB SDHC (High-capacity) cards have a maximum capacity of 32 GB. SDXC (eXtended Capacity), a specification announced at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, allows for up to 2 TiB cards.

The format has proven very popular. Changes to the interface of the established format have made some older devices designed for standard SD cards (≤4 GB) unable to handle newer formats such as SDHC (≥4 GB). All SD cards have the same physical shape, which causes confusion for many consumers.

SD Cards and other Memory cards do not immediately re-use space from deleted files and leave it there for a while after the file has been deleted; therefore you can recover deleted photos from SD card. A Photo that has been deleted a while ago still has a good chance of being recovered, but the chances of an absolute undelete decrease the longer you leave it, because it is only a matter of time before that space is re-used and overwritten. So the Key to recovering your deleted photos is to act immediately and you will be almost guaranteed to have your files back.

If you have deleted/lost files from your SD Card and want to recover most of those, PLEASE STOP TAKING ANY MORE photoS/VIDEOS from your SD card. That’s because the more you write new data on your memory card, the chances of recovering old and deleted data becomes less .
