Hi eckerp and welcome.

On the Support website for your Handycam, you can download Sony's "Memory Card File Rescue" software. This is designed to recover accidentally erased data: -

Hopefully this will do the trick?

In order to get back all the stored data which have become unreachable due to corruption in memory card, memory card recovery software is used.

Hi

You can easily recover deleted video from handycam by making use of best media recovery software. By using this software I was able to retrieve deleted video files from flash memory card on canon vixia camcorder. So, you can download demo version of this software and evaluate video recovery results.

Hello

Just to clarify, the software suggested by Blencogo is also the one that I would also recommend. There may be other products available online but I would always start with the product offered by Sony.

Thanks,

Simon
