Leica M series cameras use DNG as raw photo format, Leica LUX series cameras use RAW as raw photo format, they can use JPEG photo format as a common photo format. First, we use these two different cameras to take some raw photos and jpeg photos, and randomly delete four photos of them from the camera. And then we use Fireebok Data Recovery, which supports the recovery of DNG, RAW and JPEG photo formats from Leica cameras.

It seems that Fireebok Data Recovery software can recover all deleted photos from Leica cameras, but considering that we use data recovery software to recover them immediately after deletion without any new data overwriting, the probability of being recovered is 100%. If the recovery software is used after a period of time after deletion, the possibility of recovering photos may decrease. However, if you cannot use the delete recovery mode to completely recover all the photos, you can still use the deep recovery mode.
