To highlight the importance
of keeping the image
sensor dust-free, a dust
protector has always been
supplied as standard with
all SD series cameras. The
dust protector prevents
tiny particles of dust from
adhering to the image
sensor. In the SD14, it can
be put in place or removed
with a single action.
We gave the SD14 a
new 5-point distance-
measurement autofocus
sensor. Having carried
out a thorough study
based on our own unique
perspective, we took the
bold decision to measure
the autofocus distance
at five separate points –
center, left, right, top and
bottom – for maximum
ease of use. The center
point even has crosshairs
for improved accuracy.
There is a mode allowing
the user to select the
points, and another mode
in which the camera sets
them automatically.
The Sigma viewfinder
function, already acclaimed
for its ease of focusing,
has been improved even
further in the SD14. The
viewfinder – the heart
and soul of any SLR – is a
Pentaprism (Pentaprism
98% x 98%). Aiming for
clear visibility, ease of
focusing and other features,
we gave the SD14 top-of-
the range specifications
for both viewing angle and
magnification.
A 2.5-inch 150,000 pixels
TFT LCD screen is built
into the rear panel of the
camera body to provide a
high-resolution display of
the captured image.
The functions are now
even easier to operate,
thanks to the easy-to-use
control-pad and the high-
visibility LCD screen.
The SD14 has a built-in
GN11 flash that comes
into its own when used
for indoor shots and
outdoor portraits. Used in
combination with the
EF-500DG SUPER flash-gun
(sold separately), it provides
wireless flash capability.
To make the controls
intuitively obvious we
gave the SD14 a Quick Set
Button function.
This allows you to display
and adjust the most
important settings, namely
ISO, resolution, JPEG
quality and file type, and
white balance, on one
screen, using one button.
We've aimed for stress-
free photography.
We gave the SD14
a mirror-lockup function,
which first minimizes the
vibration caused when
the mirror springs up, and
then opens the shutter.
This reduces camera
shake, which is a big help
in macro shots and when
shooting scenery with a
super-telephoto lens. With
the remote controller and
cable release (both sold
separately), vibration can
be effectively eliminated.
