How to Recover Video from Formatted SD Card

I tried to recover a full SD card, which was formatted in the camera by accident before being transferred, but we didn't shoot any new material on it. Do you have any thoughts on a possible solution? Should I consider the files gone, or is there a fix?

You can recover video files from formatted SD card if you didn't write any new data on it. Why? Formatting the SD card doesn't mean erasing the data on this SD card, and it only breaks the data structure of your video files, so if you accidentally format SD card in camera, the data remains on your SD card, and you can recover them from the formatted SD card with data recovery software as long as you don't overwrite the data with new content.
