Mr. Ananth
Seshan, Director, Shetala Agencies - who
represents SIGMA in India, said, “SIGMA fp is a fantastic new generation of
cameras that will revolutionize digital photography and film-making. There are
several modes the camera can be used with, making it highly versatile and
perfectly adaptable to different styles of photography or videography.”
Other
Features of SIGMA fp:
1. World's smallest and lightest full-frame camera: With a total body weight of 370g (without battery and card), the compact
body of the SIGMA fp is built with a signature heat sink structure and sealing
on 42 points for a dust- and splash-proof structure, making it a perfect camera
to use for long hours under all types of environments.
2. Electronic Shutter for a variety of settings: The SIGMA fp incorporates a construction without a mechanical shutter
for quiet shooting. This allows shooting without worrying about noise in a
situation where one would have hesitated with a conventional camera because of
its shutter sound. It gives no shutter shock even when shooting in quick
succession at a frame rate of 18 frames/sec. eliminating even the tiniest
shakes. In addition, the absence of a mechanical shutter, whose performance
level can change through continuous operation, means that the SIGMA fp is a
camera with improved reliability.
3. Superior options in artistic picture & video creations: The SIGMA fp is a front runner in incorporating functions that help to
explore photographic and cinematic creations. For instance, in addition to a
number of different color modes, the SIGMA fp has newly introduced the “Teal
and Orange” mode, inspired by the color grading technique commonly used in
Hollywood films. Each mode has a slider that enables adjustment of the strength
of the effects to apply, providing even greater control in one's creations and
in live situations.The SIGMA fp is the first SIGMA camera to employ a tone
curve adjustment function in addition to "Fill Light", a special
adjustment function of SIGMA Photo Pro, and they are both available in-camera.
It has also newly introduced "TONE" and "COLOR" buttons for
quick access to each of the tone control and color mode menus.
4. Advanced picture & video generating functions: The SIGMA fp employs a number of advanced technologies for image and
video generation. The Auto HDR function takes advantage of an electronic
shutter to take multiple pictures of different exposures (3 frames for still
photography and 2 frames for video) at once, which can then be merged into a
single picture or video with a great dynamic range that could not have been
achieved in normal shooting. The Cinemagraph function, meanwhile, achieves a
hybrid between still photography and video in the form of animated GIFs in
which parts of a still image keep moving. With this function, the SIGMA fp is
capable of creating Cinemagraphs in-camera.
5. L-Mount: The SIGMA fp uses the L-Mount*,
characterized by a short flange focal length, large diameter, and superior
durability. For interchangeable lenses, in addition to the wide-ranging choices
of SIGMA lenses, other manufacturers' lenses can also be an option through
SIGMA’s L-Mount Alliance in collaboration with Leica Camera AG and Panasonic
Corporation. With the SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-21, SIGMA SA mount and SIGMA's
CANON EF mount lenses can be used, making the best out of one's lens investment.
6. Supports full-fledged video production: For raw video data, the SIGMA fp supports 12-bit CinemaDNG external
recording. With 4K UHD/24fps recording, it produces video data that can be used
even in filmmaking. It also supports ALL-I recording which is optimal for
editing H.264 compressed videos. For video output, it uses USB3.1(GEN1), which
allows smooth data transmission to an external recording unit. As it also
supports cinema camera-like user interfaces, the SIGMA fp is a camera that can
be taken straight to video production settings.
7. Seamless transition between Still and Cine modes: Going from the Still mode to the Cine mode at the flip of a switch. Each
mode comes with a specially designed operation system and displays, making it
possible to concentrate on shooting in each mode, hassle-free.
