Canon Rebel T5i
"I recently purchased a Canon t5i and it's been working fine. Yesterday I took many videos and started to edit them. At first, it was going fine, but then a few hours later, the card said a "Card cannot be accessed. Reinsert/change....." message. How can I fix this?"
Hi Mel,
Thanks for your question about the Rebel t5i. Sorry for your issue with the memory card. I know that can be very disappointing to lose images or videos.
Unfortunately, you may be completely out of luck. Once a flash memory card is corrupted, it's just about impossible to salvage videos from them yourself. There are companies that do restore them for a significant fee:
Data Recovery for USB Drives, SD Cards and Flash Media
Express Flash Memory Card Recovery Service
I don't have any personal experience with these companies, but this kind of service is what they specialize in.
