4.4. 측정 모드

The SD14 offers three metering modes:

• 8-segment Evaluative Metering: Analyzes the entire scene for balanced exposure.
• Center Area Metering: Prioritizes the central area of the frame.
• Center Weighted Average Metering: Measures the entire frame but gives more weight to the central area.

Exposure compensation and auto bracketing functions are available for fine-tuning exposure.

4.5. 이미지 녹화

The camera supports both RAW (X3F) and JPEG formats. JPEG recording offers four sizes (Super High, High, Medium, Low) and three quality settings (Fine, Normal, Basic).

• Super High (4608 x 3072 pixels): Suitable for A3 or larger prints.
• High (2640 x 1760 pixels): Suitable for A4 prints.

These figures apply to both RAW and JPEG modes.

4.7. 내장 플래시

The built-in flash has a guide number of 11 (ISO 100) and covers a 17mm lens angle (28mm equivalent on 35mm format). It supports S-TTL automatic flash metering and can synchronize with shutter speeds up to 1/180 second.

4.8. Mirror Lock-up

Activate the mirror lock-up mechanism to prevent camera shake caused by mirror movement during exposure. This is particularly useful for macro photography, long telephoto shots, or scientific applications. For best results, use with a remote controller or cable release (sold separately).

The included Sigma Photo Pro 3.0 software is a RAW image developer. It allows for quick conversion of RAW data and offers three adjustment modes: X3F Mode (original settings), Auto Adjustment Mode, and Custom Mode for manual adjustments (exposure, contrast, shadow, highlight, saturation, sharpness, fill-light). The software supports 8-bit TIFF, 16-bit TIFF, and JPEG file formats, and sRGB, Apple RGB, Adobe RGB, and ColorMatch RGB color spaces.

5. 유지관리

5.1. Image Sensor Dust Protector

The SD14 features a dust protector positioned in front of the image sensor. This design prevents dust from adhering directly to the sensor, minimizing its impact on image quality. If dust accumulates on the protector, it will be out of focus and generally not visible in images.

5.2. 카메라 본체 및 렌즈 청소

• 부드럽고 보풀 없는 천으로 카메라 본체를 닦으세요. 잘 지워지지 않는 얼룩은 살짝 두드려 닦아내세요.amp천에 물이나 중성세제를 묻히십시오.
• For lenses, use a lens brush to remove loose dust, then a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the lens surface with your fingers.
• Never use organic solvents like paint thinner or benzene to clean the camera or lens.

5.3. 배터리 관리

• 사용하지 않을 때는 배터리를 서늘하고 건조한 곳에 보관하십시오.
