I photographed an event on a Saturday…On Sunday I had another event and formatted one of my 128gb SD cards beforehand.
It was such a hectic weekend with different events I was photographing Fri-Sun so I forget which SD card I shot with on Saturday, but I can’t locate the photos. I’m hoping I misplaced the card…but I’m sick to my stomach thinking I formatted the wrong card and lost Saturday’s photos.
If I did, is there ANY way to recover those files?
You should try the software recommended.
If you have overwritten the data you’ll be out of luck. Imagine your images slash data as occupying mail box holes. When you write information onto the card, you are pushing all the old data out and are replacing it with new data. When you format a card, it tells the computer that all boxes are ready to receive information. While they are indicating that they are empty, they still have the old data in the box, ready to be pushed out.
Data recovery software looks at the boxes for data that hasn’t been pushed out yet.
