The Sports Finder
won’t miss a moment
Now, it’s easy to compose
and shoot fast-moving action.
Because unlike an ordinary single-
lens reflex camera with viewfinder showing
just what is within the shooting frame, the SD10’s unique
Sports Finder offers a view that extends outside of the frame.
All the better to anticipate the movement of subjects coming
into the frame before capturing the crucial moment.
Auto Focus (AF) cross sensoring
The SD10’s AF cross sensor in the center of its viewfinder lets
a photographer select the subject of focus, according to
compositional intention.
SIGMA lens motors for fast AF
Each SIGMA lens has a motor to drive focusing, for AF
shooting at speeds appropriate for the lens in use. Attachment
of a SIGMA HSM (hypersonic motor) lens keeps shooting fast
and quiet. Naturally, full manual focusing is also available.
Predictive movement Auto Focus
For subjects moving closer or further away at a fairly steady
speed, this feature calculates the distance the subject will travel
until the shutter opens, and drives the lens to the optimal focus
for the shot. Predictive movement AF operates automatically
when the Continuous AF mode is on.
*
If subject moves irregularly or is motionless, predictive movement AF won't be activated.
Two focus modes
˾Continuous AF mode [ C, AF ]
In this mode, the camera continues focusing on a moving subject while the
shutter button is pressed halfway. For example, when shooting athletes or
moving vehicles, the motion prediction mechanism will activate and
control focus, predicting the subject’s traveling distance from the time the
shutter button is pressed to the instant the shutter is released.
˾Single AF mode [ S, AF ]
In this focus-priority AF mode, AF ranging starts when the shutter button
is pressed, and the shutter is released once the subject is in focus. When
the subject comes into focus, the focus indicator turns on in the finder
(with an electronic sound), and the Focus Lock (AF Lock) /AE Lock
functions* activate, fixing the focus.
*
When the AE Lock button is pressed, exposure is fixed at that point in time. Use this mode if the
area that you want to meter and the subject that you want to focus on are not one and the same.
Mirror-lock mechanism prevents camera shake
The mirror-lock mechanism raises the mirror so you can
release the shutter without the vibration of the mirror popping
up. This prevents camera shake, and is especially effective for
macro shooting and shooting scenes using telephoto lenses.
Use of a remote controller or cable release (sold separately)
also reduces the possibility of camera shake.
Non-stop shooting up to 30 frames
A high-speed CPU and high-volume buffer memory enable the
SD10 to shoot at 2.5 frames per second for up to 30 consecutive
frames in LOW mode, up to 14 consecutive frames in MED
mode, and up to 6 frames in high-quality HI mode.
1/6000-second maximum shutter speed
With a shutter up to 1/6000-second fast, the SD10 can capture
what even the human eye cannot see. Drops of water from a
splash in the pool can be frozen in detail. Or use a high shutter
speed for outdoor shooting with a telephoto lens to create an
image in which a subject really stands out from the background.
