fill-light for example). Subtle or dramatic changes can be made by the photographer easily

Photographers` personal modifications can be saved to the RAW, X3F file for future use.
SIGMA Photo Pro 3.0 supports 8-bit TIFF, 16-bit TIFF, and JPEG file formats and also
outputs images in color space (s.a. sRGB and AppleRGB). The default setting for
resolution is the same as the resolution selected when
capturing the image on the camera (High, Medium, or Low). It
is also possible to half, (for sending via e-mails) or double (for
high quality enlargements, max. 18.58 million pixels
5,280×3,520pixelsthe resolution when processing the image.
4. Image Sensor Dust Protector
Most digital SLR cameras are typically vulnerable to dust entering the body especially
when the lens is removed for changing. Dust and dirt entering through the lens mount of a
digital camera can be seriously detrimental to image quality.
The dust protector of the SIGMA SD14 prevents dust from
entering and adhering to the image sensor. Even if dust adheres
to the dust protector it will not have an adverse influence on
image quality as the dust protector is located away from the
image sensor and is therefore out of focus.
5. Large and bright pentaprism viewfinder
The SD14 is equipped with a newly developed pentaprism
viewfinder, which has 98 (vertical and horizontal) coverage
with 0.9x magnification, an 18mm eye point and –3 to +1.5 dpt
dioptric adjustment.
6. Large 2.5” LCD monitor
The SD14 camera features a new, large 2.5 inch, 150,000 pixel resolution LCD monitor.
The LCD monitor displays 100% of the image, allowing the photographer to easily and
accurately confirm the image composition. It features playback options including single
frame, thumbnail display (9 images), and three types of
magnification (which is achieved by use of the 4-way
controller). Shutter speed, aperture and other settings can be
seen by pressing the INFO button. The large menu interface
makes reviewing images and navigating menu options easy.
