Data loss is a very real problem that affects Canon cameras from time to time, and in many cases it\u2019s unavoidable.<\/p>\r\n<p>Even though there seems to be no trace of data left, you may be able to recover more of your photos than you\u2019d think.

However, it\u2019s imperative that you stop using the <a href=\"\/memory-card-data-recovery.html\">SD card<\/a> (this also applies to other memory cards, such as SDHC, SDXC, SDUC, microSD, CF, and MMC) until the data is recovered.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\" role=\"alert\">&#x1f4a1; When you delete pics from your camera, they\u2019re not immediately removed from the storage media. Instead, the space the photos occupy is made available for future use to save a new image. Until the original images are overwritten by new ones, they can be recovered.<\/div>\r\n<p>You can <a href=\"\/howto\/recover-deleted-photos.html\">recover deleted photos<\/a> from a number of data loss situations. Keep in mind that the damage that caused your data loss can also affect your chances of recovering it. Even then, as long as your Canon camera shows up when you connect it to a PC and it\u2019s reading the correct size, your chances of recovery are good. And, the recovery process looks almost the same for every Canon camera out there.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\">\r\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" class=\"embed-responsive-item\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4dQREfLkiVc\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>A reliable data recovery solution can restore lost photos from a wide variety of Canon cameras including these models:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"table_wrapper\"><p><\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>DSLR (Full Frame)<\/td>\r\n<td>Canon 1D X Mark III, EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 5D Mark IV<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>DSLR (APS-C)<\/td>\r\n<td>Canon EOS 30D, EOS 1200D (Rebel) EOS Rebel T3i, Canon EOS 7D, Canon EOS Rebel SL3, Canon EOS Rebel T6, Canon EOS 80D, Canon EOS 90D<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Mirrorless (Full Frame)<\/td>\r\n<td>Canon EOS R, Canon EOS R1, Canon EOS R3, Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Canon EOS R5 C, Canon EOS R6, Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Canon EOS R8, Canon EOS RP<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Mirrorless (APS-C)<\/td>\r\n<td>Canon EOS R7, Canon EOS R10<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Cinema EOS<\/td>\r\n<td>Canon EOS C80, Canon EOS C400<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>PowerShot (Compact)<\/td>\r\n<td>Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p><\/div>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"scenarios_that_result_in_data_loss_from_a_canon_camera\"><\/span>Scenarios that Result in Data Loss from a Canon Camera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Losing data from a Canon camera can occur for a variety of reasons.

Make sure the tool you choose will run on your machine or it won\u2019t be able to recover anything.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>&#x1f60a; <b>Ease-of-use<\/b> \u2013 Recovering photos and videos is much easier when the user interface is convenient to navigate and you have the option to preview media and ensure it\u2019s intact before recovery.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>&#x1f525; <b>Recovery capabilities<\/b> \u2013 Every data recovery solution has its own capabilities. When recovering deleted photos from a Canon camera, you want to ensure the data recovery tool excels in recovering data from the file systems used by SD cards, particularly FAT32 and exFAT. Furthermore, the ability to recover data by its unique file signature is a huge advantage if the file system is in a damaged state.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>&#x2728; <b>Extra features<\/b> \u2013 The inclusion of additional features like a <a href=\"\/help\/monitor-smart-status-disk-health\/\">S.M.A.R.T. status checker<\/a> can be useful for diagnosing the state of your SD card by breaking down S.M.A.R.T. data to identify what areas raise concern.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>&#x1f4b0; <b>Price<\/b> \u2013 The price of photo recovery solutions ranges from free software to expensive commercial products. Many paid recovery tools offer free trial versions that scan your storage device and report on the data it can recover. In most cases, a paid tool will offer better recovery capabilities and a nicer user interface.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>&#x1f4f7; <b>Recovery-specific considerations<\/b> \u2013 In this case, where you are attempting to recover lost photos from a Canon camera, you want to ensure that the software works with all possible file formats. Canon cameras can shoot photos in CRW, <a href=\"\/howto\/cr2-file-recovery.html\">CR2<\/a>, CR3, JPEG, HEIF, or RAW. And for video, it can be MP4 (H.264\/HEVC), XF-AVC, RAW, or MOV. Therefore, a data recovery tool with a demonstrated ability to recover these files is advantageous.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<div id=\"startBanner\"><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\" role=\"alert\">&#x1f947; Taking all of the factors into account, you should be able to find a reliable data recovery solution. <b>I recommend Disk Drill as it has extensive recovery capabilities<\/b>, a RAW file recovery feature, a user-friendly interface, works on Windows &amp; Mac, and is reasonably priced.
