What is your camera model?
Is the picture taken after the format recovered?

If something is recovered, then I'd say it is just a bad luck. If ZAR does not recover anything at all, then we look for a bug. If something is recovered, and only a small amount missing, I'd say these are most likely just lost.

The images are overwritten according to space requirements. Hence, if the orginal pic #1 is smaller than the after-format pic (due to JPEG compression variations), then it is most likely that the picture taken after-format wiped out #1 original picture completely and also took out part of #2 original pic.
