You can select Multi Auto focus points or Single. To turn on the face/eye detection simply go to the bottom of the rear dial on the fp camera and press the focus point icon with 9 tiny squares (right next to the menu button). The face and eye detection auto focus locks on to your subject ensuring tack sharp focus.

The SIGMA fp camera has useful focus features to assist you when photographing people. Working with Face/Eye Detection Autofocus on the fp Mike Hill – Technical Representative, Nevada From bracketing in 5 different functions to custom tonal curves to complete color control, you can truly make your images as unique as yourself. Of the fp’s many strengths the one I think people overlook (or rather do not fully understand) is the customization capability.

It’s that easy.Īlthough the SIGMA fp is the smallest fish in the ocean of full frame mirrorless, it is way more powerful than people assume. If one of the buttons or dials is touched when locked the screen tells me to Slide the screen to unlock it. Locking the screen allows me to avoid changing exposure, focus, shooting mode, etc. But in my opinion one of the most useful functions in the QS menu is LOCK! For all the advantages that a small camera has to offer, one of the drawbacks for me is how easily my hand/fingers hit buttons and dials. Of course many of us would choose some of the same common features while others would take advantage of the unique look and corrections they can give their images in camera when shot. We could write articles upon articles about the additional features many of those functions have (by pressing the AEL button), but just know that the customization doesn’t end there. The functions you can choose from are: Shooting Mode, ISO, AE Metering, Drive, Exp Bracketing, Focus Bracketing, WB Bracketing, Color Bracketing, Fill Light Bracketing, HDR, DC Crop, Image Quality, Image Size, Aspect Ratio, WB, Color Mode, Color Effect Amount, Tone Control, Fill Light, Color Shading Correction, Focus Mode, Focus Area, Pre-AF, Focus limiter, Focus Peaking, Optical Stabilization, Electronic Stabilization, Flash Exposure Compensation, Red-eye, Rear Curtain Sync, Slow Sync, LOCK, and LCD Brightness. The BEST part of this is that you can determine where you want the feature to live in the 8 tiles. Once you press the QS button the top 8 features you want to use will appear on the screen so you can choose the one you want to change. For convenience Sigma gives the user the option to allocate their most used functions to the QS (Quick Set) menu, that can be accessed using the QS button!

In order to keep the small form factor Sigma, like other manufacturers, has turned to the menu to control many functions rather than outward facing buttons. Anyone that has tried this camera will tell you that it is one of the most intuitive menus they have seen (especially since there are two separate interfaces for Still and Cine, another one of the reasons it’s my fav). The SIGMA fp is one of my all-time favorite cameras for many reasons, and I am not saying that because I work for Sigma.

We asked Sigma team members to talk about some of the features and functions that really stand out for them on this groundbreaking camera. This compact mirrorless camera breaks boundaries between Still and Cine, and packs an amazing feature set into its compact build. The fp is Sigma’s first camera to be released in L-Mount format.
