Sigma fp (Body)

Product Description

The SIGMA fp incorporates a 35mm full-frame sensor with 24.6 effective megapixels in a compact body, and boasts great versatility and scalability that allows mixing-and-matching of a variety of interchangeable lenses and accessories. It is a camera that is casual enough to take anywhere, anytime, and high-spec enough for serious photo-shooting in the highest image quality, all in a robust and classy body. Regardless of the differences in shooting scenes and styles or genre boundaries between stills and videos, this new camera is set to expand the freedom and possibilities in image shooting and art creation further than ever before. A “pocketable full-frame” camera: SIGMA fp, is now available.

KEY FEATURES:

• World’s smallest & lightest: With overall dimensions of 112.6×69.9×45.3mm and a body weight of 370g, without battery and card, the SIGMA fp is the world’s smallest and lightest* interchangeable lens camera equipped with a full-frame sensor. *As of July, 2019.
• No low-pass filter: Because the SIGMA fp does not have a low-pass filter, it is able to capture images without losing the resolution of the sensor
• Aluminum body: A body covered with die-cast aluminum on the front and the back ensures superior robustness and heat dissipation while keeping the body weight light
• Dust- & splash-proof structure: The SIGMA fp is protected with the dust- and splash-proof sealing on a total of 42 points over the camera’s body. When combined with a dust- and splash-proof lens, the SIGMA fp will be ready for shooting in any environments
• High-precision AF: The SIGMA fp employs high-precision contrast AF, available in three modes: Single AF, Continuous AF, and Manual Focus. There are 49 AF points to choose from, as well as Free Movement mode, and tracking AF modes
• Full-time electronic shutter: The SIGMA fp employs a full-time electronic shutter, enabling to shoot virtually without sound, and no camera shake due to shutter shock. Even when shooting in quick succession at a frame rate of 18 frames/sec., it eliminates the tiniest of shakes. In addition, as opposed to conventional mechanical shutters, it does not cause irregularities on the screen display in a high-speed shutter setting. Furthermore, the absence of a mechanical shutter makes the SIGMA fp’s camera structure simpler, which in turn improves its reliability as a camera
• Low light AF: The SIGMA fp incorporates the low light AF, which enables AF to work even in a low light condition. Shooting is available at the light level down to 5EV
• Large choice of dedicated accessories: The SIGMA fp is complemented by a wide choice of dedicated accessories, expanding the possibilities of how one uses the camera
• Electronic image stabilization: Comes with the electronic image stabilization (EIS) function. Taking advantage of the electronic shutter, the SIGMA fp is capable of instantaneously taking four frames (two when movie recording), comparing them, and creating a composite image into a still image or video with minimum blur
• External power supply: By using a DC connector (CN-21) (sold separately), the SIGMA fp can be powered from an AC power adapter or a V-mount battery plate
• Face/Eye Detection AF: In addition to Face Priority, the SIGMA fp also has Eye Priority AF. The camera will automatically detect the eyes of a human subject, allows bringing them into focus instantly and precisely
• Enhanced ISO: The SIGMA fp’s native ISO settings range between 100 and 25600. With the enhanced ISO settings, an even larger choice of sensitivity with ISO 6, 12, 25, 50, 51200 and 102400 is available
• ISO Auto: In ISO Auto mode, the lower and upper limit of the ISO range can be set at will
• Flicker-control shooting: The SIGMA fp detects and controls image flickering, a phenomenon that can occur when shooting with artificial light sources
• Large choice of color modes: The SIGMA fp offers as many as 12 different color modes. Color modes available: Standard; Vivid; Neutral; Portrait; Landscape; Monochrome; Cinema; Teal and Orange; Sunset Red; Forest Green; FOV Classic Blue; FOV Classic Yellow
• Color mode adjustment: The SIGMA fp offers a selection of color modes, where color tone and contrast tuned to best suit different shooting scenes. It has also newly introduced the “effect” slider to its adjustment menu. It sets the strength of an effect to apply in 11 levels, from -5 to +5, enabling the fine-tune for the color mode effects
• Tone control: Optimizes a tone curve to adjust an image with natural tones even in a high contrast scene. In addition to the two already available options (Strong/Mild), a manual setting option has newly been introduced, which allows users to adjust the tone curve by themselves
• HDR Shooting: Taking advantage of an electronic shutter to take multiple pictures of different exposures (3 frames for still photography and 2 frames for video) at once, which can then be merged into a single picture or video with a great dynamic range and a natural look, all in-camera. *The HDR shooting in the Cine mode is to become available via firmware update scheduled at a later date
• Fill Light: The SIGMA fp has within its body a “Fill Light” function, which is useful to adjust the brightness of an image by adding extra light energy into the shadow regions without altering the exposure of highlighted regions. The adjustment range, which was formerly ±2.0, has been expanded to ±5.0, making it possible to fine-tune the brightness even more
• Cinemagraph: The SIGMA fp can be used to create cinemagraphs in-camera, which are animated GIFs, in which parts of a still image keep moving (Length of up to 5 seconds). *The Cinemagraph function is to become available via firmware update scheduled at a later date
• Focus peaking: The focus peaking function highlights the edges of the parts of the scene that are in focus in a color (of the choice from among 4 colors). It quickly identifies which parts of the subject are in focus
• Multi-aspect: The SIGMA fp has a wide range of aspect ratios to choose from. With the newly introduced “A size” mode, it shoots in √2:1, which is the A size standards. Aspect ratios available: [21:9] / [16:9] / [3:2] / [A size (√2:1)] / [4:3] / [7:6] / [1:1]
• Auto crop: When using one of DC lenses (SIGMA’s APS-C lenses), the SIGMA fp has the option of cropping the shots automatically to the APS-C angle of view
• Zebra patterning: The SIGMA fp has a zebra pattern display, which shows areas of the image that are of specified brightness levels in stripes. This helps to check for overblown highlights and adjust exposure accordingly
