When you delete files the data itself isn't deleted, just the index entry that tells the system where the data for those files is located. The area containing the deleted data is also now marked as free space so it is available for any new files to be written there instead. So most of the time, you are able to get back deleted files from computer. You may try a free data recovery software to view deleted files so that you know whether the deleted files are recoverable. One I used to use is asoftech data recovery program which you can download from site belowhttp://www.asoftech.com/adr/

When files are deleted they still remain on camcorder hard drive and can be recovered, unless they have been overwritten by fresh data. The only thing to do so run a data recovery program to see what can be recovered. The only program I have tested is asoftech data recovery software and it had done the job well. download the data recovery from http://www.asoftech.com/adr/Select the drive where your files were deleted and then do a deep scan. It will find your deleted files.

You can take the memory card out from Sony Camera, and then connect the memory card to computer with a card reader, you can then download a data recovery software to scan the memory card and recover lost photo and video filesPhoto Video Recovery Software

In this case you may need video recovery software, here are some programs you may rely on. Both programs can also recover photo and music files.
Connect your camcorder (memory card or hard disk) to your computer with such recovery program installed, and then start to recover. Take the trial version first,

Video Recovery Software (for Windows)
Mac Video Recovery Software (for Mac OS X)

A Tip: Before your videos are recovered, do not attempt to save more files to the memory card or stick in case the original files(your videos) are overwritten.

You may try a video recovery software, recommended asoftech data recovery as it helped me before. use link below to download:Camcorder video recovery softwareYou may refer to this video tutorial
