Hello, everyone! I have spent my last weekend with my digital camera and taken loads of wonderful pictures. But, this compact flash card of this camera was accidentally formatted. All these newly taken pictures are all lost now. But, I desperately want to get them all back.
So, I hope someone out there can tell me how I can restore all my pictures back from this CF card. Do you have any good way for me? Can anyone help me?
Have you ever tried any data-recover software?
Slow format will THOROUGHLY, COMPLETELY delete all the data on your card and cannot be recovered, but the fast format one or format on camera still can be recovered.
If any data-recover can’t help, go to find some data-recover shop or company in your city.
Ok! In you case, I think two ways can help you out.
(1). Apply a third party data recovery program
In my personal experiences, you do have chances to get back your pictures from this CF card as long as they are not completely overwritten by anything new on the same card yet.
So, you’d better select a proper data recovery program for your card as soon as possible.
But, if you are not really familiar with the data recovery problems, you can taken chances with some data recovery freeware that can thoroughly scan your card and try to restore your original data as much as possible, such as Recuva, PhotoRec, TestDisk and iCare Data Recovery Free, etc
(2). Ask a professional data recovery company or expert for help.
If the data recovery program doesn’t fix anything, you’d better ask for some professional services, such as some data recovery company or expert.
Note: No matter what happens, you should remember to back up everything important timely in the future.
Thank you for your instruction.
In fact, when I Google how to recover these lost pictures off this formatted CF card, I read a lot of related threads and articles that have advised me to try a good data recovery program in my case. So, I straightly followed your tips and tried the listed data recovery freeware. All of them seems to be great and efficient, especially the last one that has almost 90% of my pictures back.
Thanks a million! Have a nice day!
turn to photo recovery to recover your pictures from formatted cf card.
