One of the possible faults is corrupted file(s) due to a number of reasons.

To recover the files, insert the card into a card reader and connect it to the computer.
Download Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery and run the programme after installation.

Cards can usually be re-useable after going through a file recovery process.

HI,

If you are getting memory card error message then it may possible your memory card get corrupted. Try to use other memory card on your digital camera. If other card works fine then your memory card damaged. In this situation you can use stellar phoenix photo recovery software which will recover the images and repair the memory card..
