Easily view images and settings
A 130,000-pixel 1.8-inch TFT liquid crystal monitor built into
the SD10’s back body panel reproduces clear, beautiful
images. With the built-in 4-Way Controller, it also serves as
an easy-to-use multifunctional interface.
White balance for the look you like
You can shoot under any lighting conditions with a choice of
white balance modes including "bright," "shady," "cloudy,"
"incandescent light," "fluorescent light," "flash," and "auto".
There’s even "custom" for customized white balance that you
can adjust according to the
shot viewed through the
back-panel LCD.
RAW format recording
The SD10 uses the RAW format –– the highest-quality record-
ing method –– to record information about light detected by the
FOVEON X3
®
direct image sensor. The RAW data format pro-
vides pure data for high-resolution images, and uses lossless
compression for more compact, yet uncompromised data files.
Exclusive SIGMA Photo Pro software reads RAW data
The SD10 comes with SIGMA Photo Pro software for changing
the look of recorded RAW data image files. It’s easy to make
adjustments (white balance, exposure, color balance, and
contrast, for example) or otherwise manipulate RAW data,
without compromising image quality or definition.
Records on CF cards and Microdrives*
The SIGMA SD10 records on reliable, high-capacity Type I
and Type II CF (CompactFlash) cards. Or, you can insert a
Microdrive* to hold even larger volumes of data.
*
This recording medium uses a high-speed hard disk, so it is more vulnerable to vibration and
shock than flash memory CF cards. If you use a Microdrive, take extra care not to expose the
camera to shock or vibration, especially during recording and playback.
Pick your power source
For around-the-world shooting versatility, the SD10 can be
powered by two CR-V3 lithium batteries ; four AA Ni-Mh
batteries or four Nickel Zinc primary batteries ; or a dedicated
AC adaptor (included with the camera).
IEEE1394 and USB Interfaces
The camera has an IEEE1394 port as well as a USB port for extra-
speedy, versatile image transfer from the SD10 to a computer.
Shoots in NTSC and PAL formats
You can switch between the NTSC video standard (used in
countries including Japan and the U.S.) and the PAL format
(used in Europe and other countries) for image playback on
TV monitors in many parts of the world.
