Hello Danny,

In case if the card is not overwritten after fromatting, then you can recover your lost pictures. Whenever a photo gets delete or lost from memory card, only the pointer which points to the stored location of the picture will be removed and space marked as available but the actual data still resides on the stored sector. With the help of professional photo recovery software you can recover such pics. They will help you to  undelete pictures from formatted memory card.

So download an efficient photo recovery utility and get back all your valuable pictures.

Good Luck.

I have meet a lot of people asking similar question. The answer is absolutely Yes. You can always recover the lost photos from your sd card even you have formatted the card. Formatting won’t make the data in your sd card erased permanently. The pictures you formatted are still in the disk of your sd card, just not accessible right now.

The best way to recover them back is trying some photo recovery programs. A nice one is Asoftech Photo Recovery. This program can deep scan to find your lost photos first and then perform recovery with nice quality. But before your photos are recovered, please don’t take more photos in case your lost photo data are overwritten.

Here is the steps you may refer while recover your photos from your camera memory card.

  1. Download and install photo recovery program on your computer. Free download from this site:

  2. With your memory card inserted, Under “My Computer”, note the drive letter assigned to your camera’s memory card (usually G: or H:).

  3. Start Asoftech Photo Recovery and select the drive letter that assigned to camera memory card, click “Start”.

  4. Now the scanning process will start automatically to deep look for the lost pictures. You will then get a list of all recoverable ones. Check if all your pictures are there.

  5. Select the pictures you want and click “Next”, and you can get back lost photos from camera successfully.

Did your kid accidentally format your Canon camera’s SD card via the menu (Menu → Wrench Icon → Format Card)?
This performs a “Quick Format,” meaning only the file system table is erased while the actual data remains on the card. As long as you haven’t added new files, any data that hasn’t been overwritten is still recoverable. [How to Recover Data from an Accidentally Formatted SD Card for Free]
Additionally, if you formatted an SD card, SSD, or USB drive in the following ways—and haven’t written new data to it—your files are likely still recoverable:

  1. Opening “This PC,” right-clicking the drive, selecting “Format,” and ensuring the “Quick Format” option is checked before clicking Start.
  2. Pressing Win + X, selecting “Disk Management,” right-clicking your drive, and selecting “Format.”
  3. Clicking the “Format disk” button immediately after seeing the error message: “You need to format the disk in drive X: before you can use it.

Photos can often be recovered from a formatted SD card because formatting usually removes the file system, not the actual data. The most important step is to stop using the SD card immediately to prevent new data from overwriting the deleted photos. Next, connect the SD card to a computer using a card reader.

If you have a backup in cloud storage or another device, restore the photos from there. If no backup is available, use a recovery tool like Stellar Photo Recovery. Scan the formatted SD card, preview the recoverable photos, and save them to a different storage device for safe recovery.
