Sigma has announced a firmware upgrade for its Foveon X3-sensor-equipped D-SLR, the Sigma SD-14. The upgrade addresses the following fixes and improvements:

• Exposure time of Bulb Mode is increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes (It is only available when the camera is set for Extended Mode).
• Accuracy of the Evaluative Metering has been improved.

SD14 firmware Ver.1.07 is available for download at the following site: http://www.sigma-sd14.com/software/firmware/

Sigma have made available a firmware upgrade (Ver. 1.06) for the SD14 D-SLR camera. The upgrade should be applied to SD-14’s that have firmware version 1.05 or lower. If the camera already has Ver 1.06 the upgrade is not required.

The update addresses the following fixes and improvements:

1. Accuracy of the custom white balance has been improved.
2. One-day advance date counter that occurs with X3F images during an intercalary year was corrected.
3. Review image quality on the camera’s LCD is improved.
4. Users now have the option to disable the shutter release if there is no CF card in the camera. This option is found in the ‘Preview Style’ menu.

Last night marked a milestone for Digital Camera Warehouse with the news that we are now officially a Sigma stockist. All our staff are  fully trained in the Sigma range of lenses, cameras and accessories and can assist you with selecting the Sigma that is right for your particular needs.

Sigma have been manufacturing high-quality interchangeable SLR lenses for nearly 40 years and are renowned for their award-winning optical performance, innovative design and build quality - all Sigma lenses and components are manufactured exclusively in Japan.

They represent the largest range of available options for lens types and camera mounts with over 50 different lenses in their extensive fold, and mounts variously available for Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma, Sony/Minolta and Four Thirds (Olympus, Panasonic). Sigma also have the largest range of lenses equipped with HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) which makes them compatible with Nikon’s D40/D40X cameras that have no in-built focusing motor in the camera body.

We also stock Sigma D-SLR cameras, Sigma Flashes and accessories and we will also have available when it is released the soon-to-be announced at PMA 14.45 megapixel Foveon X3 sensor Sigma DP-1 compact digital camera.
