Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery Software

Sigma DP2 is one of the most powerful compact digital camera released by Sigma Corporation. The camera features 14 mega pixel camera, 24.2 mm F2.8 lens, photo pro software, and three metering and four exposure modes. The camera supports three types of memory cards, including SD (Secure Digital), SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity), and MMC (MultiMediaCard).

These three storage devices save photographs, audios, and videos in the form of digital data. This digital data saved in any of the above memory cards becomes inaccessible, if the card gets corrupted. To access the digital data post memory card corruption, the user needs to restore a copy of all the files from an updated backup. However, if a backup copy of data is not available or is corrupted, then you need to use advanced Digital Photo Recovery Software.

Consider a practical case, where your SDHC memory card gets corrupted due to improper shutdown of the camera. When you attempt to access the files saved in the SDHC card, you are unable to do so. The below error message stops you from accessing the data:

�Incompatible file system. Format Card�

Corruption in card primarily occurs when you turn off the camera while the ‘busy lamp’ is on. In such cases, the camera is still accessing (performing read/write operations) the card.

To prevent the memory card corruption due to any such instance, you should:

• Never remove the card when the ‘busy lamp’ is on.
• Never remove the battery while the ‘busy lamp’ is on.
• Never apply vibrations when the ‘busy lamp’ is on.

However, if the card has become corrupted due to any of the above reasons, and you are not able to access the files in the card, then you need to format the card in the camera. However, to recover the formatted data, you need to use an advanced Photo Recovery Software. Such Photo Recovery tools recover formatted data from all kinds of memory cards, including SDHC memory card.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a powerful application to recoup lost, deleted, and formatted data from any digital storage media. Compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows OS, the Photo Recovery utility can be used by any photographer, whether a novice or a professional. To analyze the functionality of the software and to preview the lost photo recovery files, you can download its demo version.

Sigma SD 14 provides photographers the pleasure of expressing a real essence of photography. The digital camera comes with an intuitive user-interface, 2.5 TFT screen, mirror lock-up, 5-point DM Autofocus, and a memory card slot that supports Compact Flash (CF) memory card. The card saves the pictures in RAW or JPEG file format.

These pictures saved in the CF card can be accessed at any point-of-time, except when the memory card is corrupted. Corruption in memory card can occur due to various logical and physical factors. To access the pictures in such cases, an easy way is to restore it from an updated backup. However, with high probabilities of backup file itself getting corrupted, it is always safer to have a advanced Photo Recovery Software near you.

Consider a practical case, where your pictures saved in the CF memory card (inserted in Sigma SD14 camera) become inaccessible after any of the below error messages appear on the LCD screen:

�Incompatible file system. Format Card.�
or
�Error writing to CF card�

After any of the above error message appear, you are not able to either view your previously saved pictures or capture any picture.

Cause:

CF memory card corruption. Corruption primarily occurs due to virus infection, interrupted read/write operation, and improper handling of the camera.

Resolution:

As suggested in the user-manual of the Sigma SD 14 camera, you need to format the memory card in the camera. The process of formatting resolves both the error messages and brings the card in re-usable state. However, all the previously saved data in the CF memory card gets deleted after formatting. For recovering all the lost data post formatting, you need to search for an effective Photo Recovery Software.

A Photo Recovery tool scans the CF memory card using powerful recovery mechanisms, which are competent enough to recover data even after formatting. The software is completely non-destructive, as the original data in the card remains intact when the recovery process is performed.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is one of most purchased Photo Recovery application, world-wide . The Software not only recovers data from formatted memory cards, but from other storage media (hard disks, memory sticks, etc.) as well. Separate versions designed for both Windows and Mac OS X (mac photo recovery ) operating system.
