ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO A COMPUTER

If your photos and videos are stored on the memory card, then remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader. Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of your working computer. Your computer will see this as an USB Mass Storage Device or an external storage device; you can then open the folder on the memory card and copy the photos to your computer.
Memory card reader is a handy device and is inexpensive. You can copy photos from other cameras and you can also download photos off your memory card to someone else's computer without the need of installing any programs.

you can recover lost pictures after memory card reformat with asoftech photo recovery program. download it from cnet

Formatting the card is going to GET RID of the photo(s), not recover it/them.
If you really do want to format it, then grab a memory card reader, and get some software to format it.
If you want to recover the photo, it's best if you get a memory card reader, pop it into your computer, then look at the 'drive'.

Normally, file deletion only renames the first few symbols of a filename so its not recognised, it doesn't actually delete the file.

Try downloading a free file recovery programme to your PC. There are a couple on Filehippo.com
PC Inspector File Recovery 4.0 and
Recuva 1.36.479

There's another freeware progarmme called
Undelete +, but I'm not sure where to get that from.

Follow your nose through the recovery process but ensure you recover files from you Camera and recover to a new folder you've created on you PC.

If you recover back onto your camera card/memory you will probably overwrite the very photo's you're trying to save.

You can use Image Rescue to try to recover the deleted pictures. Image rescue software can be located/downloaded from this link: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/10/28/free-download-lexar-image-rescue-3-to-undelete-and-recover-lost-photos-and-videos/

Hope this helps,
