In a total moment of madness while rushing not to disrupt my series of images I formatted what I thought was a fresh memory card without even checking what was on it!Īs soon as I selected format and the Format complete flashed up on the back of the camera I suddenly got that sick sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Well at least I thought I did but instead I put the card in the wrong pocket of my camera bag and and when I reach for a fresh one it was actually the same SD card I took out. Well this is exactly what happened to me recently at 3:00am in the morning, tired in total darkness while photographing the milky way I swapped out a full memory card and replaced it with a fresh one. I know this sounds stupid right? How can you accidentally delete photos or videos? This would never happen to me! So here I will explain how to recover data from formatted SD cards and the software I use. We have all done it at least once and if you haven’t you most likely will at some point and that is accidentally deleted photos or videos you didn’t mean to.
