Recover photos after ‘Memory Stick Error’ in Sony cameras
A memory stick is a type of flash memory card from Sony. Sony designed a family of memory cards (Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Micro) for digital storage in cameras, camcorders, digital music players, PDAs, VAIO laptops and other portable devices. Since memory stick is a proprietary Sony product, it is generally compatible with a range of products from Sony. Photographers using Sony digital cameras rely on memory sticks to store countless photos, thanks to the maximum storage capacity they offer. Despite being reliable and durable storage media, memory sticks can throw errors which could amount to potential photo loss. Such unfortunate situations make you highly dependent on a valid backup. And, if a good backup is not available, then only a digital photo recovery software can rescue your lost photos.
As a practical case, you may encounter the following error while trying to view the pictures of your kid’s bizarre mischievous activities from your Sony camera:
“Memory Stick Error”
The above error will make the photos of your naughty toddler inaccessible, leaving you annoyed and frustrated.
Cause
The above error could be an outcome of the following reasons:
-
Handling issues with the Sony memory stick and camera
-
Corrupt memory stick
Resolution
-
In order to resolve the handling issues, one can try the following steps
1. Reinserting the memory stick in your Sony camera
2. Recharging the batteries
3.Trying to access photos on computer via a card reader
-
If the above steps fail to deliver the expected result, don’t hesitate and format the memory stick in a camera itself.
Formatting erases the previously stored data by installing a new file system. Though the memory stick becomes reusable, in order to retrieve lost photos post formatting, one has to completely rely either on an updated backup or a digital photo recovery software.
The third-party photo recovery utilities being read-only do not modify the original content and recovers photos and other multimedia files from a range of damaged or corrupted storage media including memory sticks, memory cards, hard drives, zip disks, digital cameras, USB devices and other removable media.

The tool supports photo recovery for both Windows and Mac users and recovers all photo formats including JPEG, TIF, TIFF, BMP, PNG, RAW, Exif etc. in three simple steps viz scan, select and save.
