Accidentally hit reset and lost all the photos-is there some way to retrieve them or are they lost forever? This is for a Fuji Finepix F470.

I have had success with this camera photo recovery program... You can read the detail instructions from
http://www.asoftech.com/articles/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-from-camera.html

You have to use a card reader either on your computer or an external USB card reader. Put the card in the card reader, open the recovery program, then select the drive where files are deleted, then press "Start" and wait for it to do it's magic.

Camera reset or system restore won't be necessory to erase all your data (on the memory card or stick of your FIJI camera). You can rely on this digital photo recovery software to get them back easily.

Just Remember - Do NOT try & write anything back untill you can retrieve your photos safely!
