• Abide by the 5 seconds rule when taking out the memory card from digital camera, i.e. wait for 5 seconds after a message of the camera which says you can.
• Don't format the memory card in the computer.
• Use many low storage capacity memory cards rather than one that stores all your photos. This is basically an “all eggs in one basket” kind of tip.
• When buying memory cards, choose those that are turned out by the camera companies or ones with good customer ratings on online retail websites.

You may also simply use third-party digital picture recovery software for getting back your lost photos from any type of storage media and not just memory cards.
