Can you bring back photos that wer formatted on your camera?

Question

I have an APITEK camcorder. I took it on vacation and took many pictures. Later, i accidentally hit format and all the pictures got erased. Is it possible to get those photos back or am I out of luck?

Answer 1

You may be OK.  Formatting just resets a few pointers to show that the memory is free and can be overwritten - it doesn't usually erase anything.  Get hold of PC Inspector Smart Recovery, connect your camera with the USB cable and see if it can recover anything.

Answer 2

I hate to break it to you but a formatting completely deletes all data and resets the device to its original settings so you're pictures of vacation are lost forever...sorry
