Happy New Year to all UHH members!
Starting off my 2019 on a bad vibe. Lost my SD card from holiday photos. Checked XQD card found them, but apparently did not download photos. Formatted the XQD - no pictures...
Any idea how to retrieve from a Formatted XQD?
Yes, lesson learned-double check.
Thank you!!

Recovery software will get them back. I use Image Rescue from Lexar. There are several others out there, some are free and some you have to buy.

Just don't use the card till you run recovery software.

This is very important. If you use the card you may write over the images you wish to recover.

Good luck and please post your results.

I use Card Raider. Very effective and relatively inexpensive.

Just work this into your workflow:

Never format the camera card until the images are downloaded, edited, and backed up.
