The Olympus E-PL1 is compatible with both SD and SDHC cards. You can store countless images, videos, audio files on these cards. However, the file system of these cards is prone to getting corrupt. As a result, you may encounter several errors which would lead to data inaccessibility. All your digital files would become inaccessible, and you will be required to do a restore from an updated backup copy. And, if you don't possess an appropriate backup solution, you can overcome the problem by using an advanced and reliable card recovery software.

Consider a scenario, wherein, you load the memory card in your Olympus E-PL1 camera to view the pictures stored onto it, and instead receive any of the following errors:

“This card cannot be read”

Or

“This card cannot be used”

As a result of these errors, the previously saved pictures or videos would go beyond your reach until you fix them.

Cause

The Olympus E-PL1 camera is bound to throw such errors in event of memory card corruption. Few reasons behind memory card corruption include virus attacks, turning off the camera without removing the memory card, rapidly shooting pictures and more.

Resolution

The only way to fix a corrupt memory card is re-formatting it again. But, it must be followed by immediate card recovery if you wish to extract the inaccessible or lost data from the formatted card.

In order to perform recovery, you must grab an easy-to-use software from the Internet. But, be very careful while selecting a particular software as you can get duped by less competent software which would end up damaging your data.

Meanwhile, you can check for the following attributes in a good card recovery software:

It should be read-only
It should recover data from all types of memory cards and digital cameras
It should incorporate a simple and graphical user interface
It should support Olympus camera memory cards
