Formatting won't make the files on a SD card erase permanently.Those erased photos are still stored on your SD card, it's just invisible or inaccessible.You can recover them with SD card recovery software. But once the deleted photos were overwritten by new data,they are gone for good.
I used this SD card recovery tool and it worked.Anyway,you can download it and scan your memory card for free to preview whether your photos can be recovered.By the way,it will show you the file name,type,date and size of your files and thumbnails for your photos that it found on your card.Give it a shot!
