How to Recover Videos/Audios/Photos from Camcorder?
After you accidentally deleted video, audio or image, etc files from HD camcorder, or formatted camcorder hard disk/SD card by mistake, the first thing to take note is to NOT use the digital camcorder / video camera to take more recordings, also not save new files into Camcorder/camera memory card or hard drive. It is because that new data could overwrite the space of deleted files, which will make deleted files unrecoverable.
Now connect the digital camcorder to PC or Mac as removable drive. If camcorder or camera does not show as drive letter (e.g. E:) in computer, you will need to remove the hard drive or memory card from camcorder and then connect the hard drive to PC or Mac as an external hard drive (or connect memory card to PC or Mac with a card reader).
