three-dimensional detail. It is possible to record images in RAW or the
widely used JPEG in four resolution modes.
It offers five Exposure modes and three Metering modes as well as being

[HA-11] and Electronic Flash [EF-140 DG] are available for the DP1
camera.
Features:
| SLR-sized image sensor: The size of the

approximately seven to twelve times larger than the 1/1.8inch to
1/2.5inch image sensors used in ordinary compact digital cameras.
The pixel size of the image sensor is 7.8µm |
| Full-color image sensor: The DP1 uses the
same 14 megapixel direct image sensor as the SD14. Utilizing the
special features of silicon, which is penetrated to different
depths by different wavelengths of light, this direct image sensor
succeeds in full-color capture with the full RGB |
| 16.6mm f/4 lens designed exclusively for the
DP1:: The DP1 is equipped with a 16.6mm f/4 lens, equivalent to
28mm on a 35mm SLR camera, which has been designed exclusively for
DP1. The large-diameter of aspherical glass provides low
distortion and high contrast images |
| Raw format recording: The DP1 includes JPEG
recording format for convenience plus a RAW data (X3F) recording
mode for retaining full image capture detail of the utmost
quality. The RAW data format provides pure data for
high-resolution images and uses lossless compression |
| The DP1 comes complete with SIGMA Photo Pro
software, a RAW image developer that converts all RAW data quickly
and easily. Adjustments can be made in three separate modes. The
X3F Mode 3 stores the original settings of the image at the point
of capture |
| Three metering modes and five exposure
modes: The DP1 has three metering modes, Evaluative Metering,
Center Weighted Average Metering and Spot Metering. It is also
possible to select the exposure mode from Auto, Program AE,
Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Priority AE or Manual |
| Compact and lightweight body: The DP1 has
compact dimensions of 113.3mm/4.5in. (W) x 59.5mm/2.3in. (H) x
50.3mm/2.0in. (D) and weighs just 240g/8.5ounces. Its compact body
and lightweight design makes it easy to carry everywhere |
| AF Area selection: The AF area of the DP1 is
equipped with 9 focusing points and it is possible to manually
select the desired focusing point. The focusing distance is from
50cm to infinity, however, it is possible to shorten the minimum
focusing distance to 30cm |
| Manual focus: Manual Focus is available for
photographers who like to take more control, or for use when
autofocus or focus lock is not effective. It is also possible to
magnify the display to ensure precise focusing |
| Recording movies: It is possible to record
30fps movies with QVGA (320 x 240). The digital zoom function can
be used during movie shooting. A 1GB memory card (not supplied)
allows approximately 30 minutes of movie recording |
| Large 2.5" tft color lcd monitor: The
DP1 camera features large 2.5 inch, 230,000 pixel TFT color LCD
monitor. The LCD monitor displays 100% of the images, allowing the
photographer to easily and accurately confirm the image
compensation |
| Hot shoe: The DP1 camera is equipped with a
hot shoe, allowing use of the dedicated external flashgun EF-140
DG (optional) or high performance view finder VF-11 (optional).
EF-500 DG and EF-530 DG flashgun series can be used in manual mode
