FAQs Marcus the Photographer Dover

Can you lose photographs?

One of the most frequently asked questions is this: what’s the definitive solution to the challenges we often face?

The key lies firmly in backing up your files consistently and minimising potential risks that could jeopardise your precious data.

I personally rely on the advanced Microsoft cloud-based system to securely store and protect every single photograph I take. This cloud system is truly state of the art and offers an excellent backup functionality that gives me peace of mind.

Additionally, Canon cameras come equipped with a remarkable dual card feature, which allows photos to be saved simultaneously on two separate memory cards. This added redundancy significantly lowers the chances of losing important images in the unfortunate event that one card might fail.
