Two methods shown in manual at link above.

Your deleted file is not actually deleted. It's just marked as inaccessible data on your recorder. You can use data recovery software to retrie it. Wondershare Data Recovery is the best option for you to recover lost files from your recorder. Since files are stored on memory storage of your Recorder, and deleted files can be easily overwritten by new data on it, you'd better stop using your Sony Recoder as soon as file was deleted. Hope it works for you!

You can use a software to recover the data you deleted.
first you need to connect you to your Mac ,and install a data recovery for Mac.then use it to deal with that.
And here is the Data recovery for Mac.

This Sony camcorder uses mini-DVDs to record and there are certain restrictions when DVD is used, it is not like videotape. For a DVD-R disc, you cannot delete video once it is recorded because this type of disc is a record once only. Depending on which other disc type you use and how it was initialized, you MAY be able to delete video. For a DVD+RW disc, or a DVD-RW disc initialized in VIDEO mode, you can delete the last scene IF you have not removed the disc and not recorded any new video. For a DVD-RW disc initialized in VR mode, you can delete anytime. And here is how:
Turn on camcorder and press PLAY. Select the video or still image tab that contains the data you want to delete. Touch EDIT. Touch DELETE. Select what you want deleted. The selected scene is marked with a checkmark. Press and hold the image on the LCD screen to confirm. Touch RETURN to go back to previous screen. Touch OK - YES. You cannot recover data once deleted. There is also a DELETE ALL to delete all video or images.

Yes, you have chance. Sam has explained in details about the precautions. Also FileRetrieveal is also a free option (able to retrieve music, audio, video, photo files and more.) Best regards and good luck.

dear sir,
sorry you can't recover it. because, it contains flash memory that's why it's not possible.

Hello press the delete button and when erase flashes press delete again

Display the folder o message in the folder that you want to erase.
Press Menu and select Erase by using up arrow down arrow and then press play stop button, the cursor moves to erase menu.
Press up arrow down arrows to select erases all the messages or message in a folder.
Press up or down arrow to confirm say yes and press play
Press stop to exit.

The erase button is on the right hand side of the recorder. When you are on the message that you want to delete, then hold the erase button down. The message will start to play and an erase message will flash. Push the erase button down again and it will delete the message. Continue to do this for each message until you have the desireable amount of free space.

You can delete titles on a DVD+/-R, but it will not free up disc space. These are not "rewritable (RW)" disks.

To reuse discs, start with a DVD +/-RW. Be sure to format it "VR," not "Video."
