My video got formatted, can I recover it?

Corrupted video can be restored? Sure!

Today morning, I had connected my digital camera SD card to system via card reader for backing up some newly captured photos and videos. But it asked me to format the card, without thinking anything I just clicked on "OK" option. After a while I realized that I had deleted all pictures including other stuff enclosed in it by formatting. Now I am feeling helpless and not getting any idea how to unformat SD card? Is there any method to unformat my SD card? If you know anything, then please assist me as soon as possible! Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This is what I received from a friend. Data loss is really annoying and troublesome. But if you know how to avoid data loss and how to recover them. Things will change.

What you should know to avoid data loss.

Lots of people do not know that saving new files on that drive will permanently damage deleted videos and make them unrecoverable, because the data will be overwritten and the previous data will be lost forever. At this moment if you use a data recovery tool to restore your lost data in time, it will be possible for you to perform deleted video files recovery and get them back. What you need to do is to put it away and stop using it to saving new files.
  • Do not remove SD card without using safe remove option
  • Don't store data on SD card when it is almost full.
  • Scan regularly with updated antivirus tool
