Hi Cameratose, I'm probably not explaining myself correctly. Please have a look at this vide on YT at around 2:30 minutes.
Youtube video explaining what I have been trying to explain
Thanks for reading!
Images are not really deleted from a card. Formatting simply deletes the file structure, (probably not saying that correctly) so the camera thinks the space is open. You can recover images from a formatted card. Sometimes.
When a file is deleted from an SD card, the actual file data is not immediately erased from the card. Instead, the file system marks the space occupied by the deleted file as available for new data. This means the original file content remains on the card until it is overwritten by new files saved to the card.
Here's one article. You can do a search and find more. You may need specialized software.
How to Recover Deleted Photos from Memory Cards
I own an a7IIIr for which I have only use Sony's "Tough" series 64GB cards that are always formatted in-camera using the "Format" menu function. It takes just a few seconds and my images disappear (and apparently non-recoverable) after formatting.
