Sigma Officially Releases Full-Frame fp Mirrorless Camera; Preorder at B&H
Photography News: Sigma is making the jump to full-frame imaging with the fp, a brand new mirrorless camera featuring the L mount. It claims the titles of smallest and lightest full-frame interchangeable lens camera and has an impressive set of features.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H is pleased to share the official announcement of the Sigma fp Mirrorless Camera. This is the company's first full-frame mirrorless, which is exceptionally small and lightweight at just 14.9 oz. It uses a 24.6MP Bayer CMOS sensor to capture detailed images and 4K video. To ensure peak performance with a small body, the camera features a large heat sink and is weather sealed. To complete the fp's feature set there is an L mount, which should work nicely with Sigma's growing collection of lenses for the system.
For stills, the fp camera opts to eliminate the mechanical shutter to save on weight and size and relies on an advanced electronic shutter that can reach speeds of up to 18 fps. The Sigma fp camera can also make use of functions such as TONE and COLOR for creating unique styles, an Auto HDR mode, and Cinemagraph option.
Video is a major component of the fp with it being able to record up to UHD 4K at 30p and support 12-bit CinemaDNG raw when outputting to a compatible recorder. Output is made possible through a fast USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection, while a UHS-II SD card slot handles internal recording. Shooters can opt to record directly to an external SSD through the USB connection. To further benefit shooters, the fp has a switch to quickly change between stills and video modes. This changes the operating menu and controls to better suit the selected mode and eliminates functions specific to the mode not currently in use.
