The first thing you should do when you accidentally lost pictures from the card is STOP immediately using the SD. Because any write or edit may cause the lost data become "lost for good" simply due to OVERWRITTEN.
Normal method (Need a computer or laptop)
If you are not rooted, use a third party computer program like Coolmuster or
Recuva.
Install the program and connect your Android to your computer with a USB cable or your memory card with a microSD card reader.
Follow the prompts in the program - select where you want to search, what you want to search for and follow the individual program's steps.
Once you get your files back, save them somewhere other than where they were originally lost, in case there is corruption in your device's memory. Once you have them safely saved on your computer for example you can transfer a copy over to your device again.

Undelete and follow the prompts. Nothing to it!
