SA-7/SA-9QD
35mm Autofocus SLRs
Sigma’s AF SLR cameras, the SA-7 and SA-9QD provide the right mix of
features for great photographic versatility, in compact, lightweight
camera bodies. Together with Sigma’s comprehensive system of lenses,
flash and accessories, they can fulfill almost any photographic need,
while maintaining simplicity of design and operation.
They feature automatic and manual exposure control, as well as
automatic and manual focus capabilities. In addition they feature
a stainless steel lens-mount, built-in flash with red-eye reduction,
automatic film handling, three metering systems, multiple auto
exposure modes including a shiftable program exposure mode, AE Lock,
auto-exposure bracketing, depth-of-field preview, mirror lock-up capability,
3-channel wireless remote control receiver, and wireless TTL control flash (with
optional EF500 DG Super or EF500 Super flash units). The SA-7 features a high-speed shutter of 1/2000 and flash sync 1/90
of a second. Continuous shooting of up to 1.5 fps (frames-per-second) is possible.
Otherwise identical, the high performance SA-9 QD steps up with action-stopping shutter (1/8000) and flash sync (1/180)
speeds, high speed 3 fps shooting and a built-in databack.
Precise Autofocus
◆ Using AF-cross sensor in the center of the
viewfinder, they feature fast, easy and pre-
cise autofocusing capability. You simply set
the point of focus on any selected part of a
subject while looking through the viewfind-
er. The AF-cross ssensor does the rest offer-
ing excellent tracking capability and the
ability to focus multiple subject types.
You’re pictures will never be out of focus.
◆ There are two focus modes to match shoot-
ing purpose and subject:
– Single AF mode with a “focus” indicator
light in the viewfinders along with an elec-
tronic sound to indicate correct focus.
– Continuous AF mode when shooting a sub-
ject moving at constant speed, such as
sporting events or people marching in a
parade.
◆ A predictive AF function in the Continuous
AF mode ensures optimum focus when tak-
ing pictures of subjects moving towards or
away from you at constant speed. It will
latch onto subjects between infinity and
26.4 feet moving as fast as 30 miles per hour.
Three Metering Systems
◆ 8-Segment Evaluative Metering: When
selected this mode divides the image into 8
parts, and the light intensity of each seg-
ment is measured independently. An opti-
mum exposure is calculated based on the
information obtained by this metering.
◆ Center Area Metering: In this mode, the
light intensity of an area (about 9mm in
diameter at the center of the viewfinder) is
measured so that you can select an expo-
sure value to obtain the intended image.
Since the light intensity is detected only at
the center of the viewfinder, this mode lets
you eliminate the effects of surrounding
light sources when setting the exposure.
◆ Average Metering: This mode measures the
light intensity at the center of the viewfind-
er image, but also takes the brightness of
the surrounding area into consideration.
This is the most common metering mode.
When used with the exposure compensa-
tion function, this mode provides effective
exposure control, according to the type of
subject being photographed.
Exposure Modes
◆ The dial for adjusting shutter speed and the
selector for setting exposure mode are
positioned together for smooth and reliable
operation.
– Program Auto (P): In this mode, the
cameras automatically set the shutter speed
and aperture, enabling quick shooting.
– Shiftable Program mode lets you enjoy the
creative benefits of aperture- or shutter-
priority without having to change exposure
modes. While in P mode you can quickly
shift the programmed autoexposure setting
to a desired aperture or shutter speed with-
out affecting the original exposure
– In Aperture-priority mode you select the
aperture and the cameras set the optimum
shutter speed.
– In Shutter-priority you select the shutter
speed and the cameras sets the correct
aperture value.
–
In Manual mode you select both the aperture
and shutter speed in any combination.
