SIGMA CORPORATION
JPEG quality and file type, and white balance, on one screen, using one button. The top
LCD panel incorporates a backlight, which enables the camera to be easily controlled in
low light or dark conditions.
12. Mirror lock-up mechanism prevents camera shake
The mirror lock-up mechanism raises the mirror thus preventing vibration when the
shutter is released. This prevents camera shake, and is
especially effective for macro photography, using extremely
long telephoto lenses or scientific work. Use of a remote
controller (sold separately) or cable release (sold separately)
also reduces the possibility of camera shake.
13. Three types metering mode
The Sigma SD14 is equipped with three types of metering mode: 8-segment Evaluative
Metering, Center Area Metering and Center Weighted Average Metering. This enables
the photographer to select the metering mode depending on subject and situation.
Exposure compensation function allows the photographer to override the exposure value
set by the camera’s exposure meter.
Auto Bracketing function allows the exposure to be adjusted by 1/3 EV increments up to
±3 EV from the exposure automatically set by the camera. In
situations where it is difficult to determine proper exposure,
the auto bracketing function allows a sequence of pictures to
be taken of the same subject at three different exposure levels;
Appropriate Exposure, Under Exposure and Over Exposure.
14. Power Source
The Lithium-ion Battery BP-21 (included with the camera) can shoot approximately 500
images on one full charge. It takes about 120 minutes to fully charge with Battery
Charger BC-21 (also included). The optional power grip PG-21
has a vertical shutter release button and can hold two BP-21
batteries, supplying more than enough power for most shoots.
The AC Adapter SAC-21 (sold separately) enables the Sigma
SD14 to obtain power from the mains supply.
15. The top LCD panel
The top LCD panel allows the photographer to quickly and
accurately confirm information such as resolution setting,
metering mode, battery status, and the number of images that
can be recorded on the CF card. It also incorporates an orange
