Default Memory Card Recover after Accidental Format

I accidentally refomatted my camera's memory card. I ran a ZAR recovery and only 11 pictures were recovered. There were over 300 pictures on the card -- how do I recover the remaining pictures?

What is the camera vendor and model?
Did you take additional shots after you formatted the card?
Did you try both the digital image recovery procedure and the unformat procedure? Are the results same 11 files for both?

Default Memory Card Recover after Accidental Format

The camera is an Olympus C-740 UltraZoom. Yes, other pictures were taken after the disc was accidentally formatted. I tried both of your suggestions with no success. Is there anything else I can do to recover the pictures?

Nothing. As I recall, someone already encountered it, Olympus formats seem irreversible. That was a different model, though. I.e. you can recover the image if it was deleted, but the formatted card is not recoverable. Your files are JPEG, not RAW, correct? And the ones before format were also JPEG, correct?
