using it. No compensation or guarantee is provided for unsatisfactory
pictures or loss of profit, etc.
Carry spare batteries when you use the camera in a cold environment,
on a field trip, or when taking many pictures at one time.
ENVIRONMENT
■ Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
■ This camera is not waterproof, and cannot be used underwater. Wipe off any
water droplets with a dry cloth as soon as possible. If the camera gets really
wet, promptly consult your nearest Sigma Service Center.
■ Do not leave the camera in a dusty, hot, or highly humid environment for a
long period of time.
■ If the camera is moved from a cold place to a warm room, water droplets may
appear on the camera. Please keep the camera in a bag until it is acclimatized
to the ambient room temperature.
■ The camera will work within a temperature range between 0˚C/32˚F and
+40˚C/104˚F and humidity less than 80% (no condensation). However, in cold
temperatures below 0˚C, the power performance of the battery is reduced.
Please carry a spare battery in these circumstances, and keep the batteries
warm.
■ Static electricity or magnetic fields, may effect the operation of the camera. If
such exposure occurs, please remove the battery from the camera and
re-insert it, to reset the camera’s microprocessors.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
NOTE ON THE TFT COLOR LCD MONITOR
■ A few pixels may always be lit or may never light on the LCD monitor. This is
not a failure or malfunction. Images recorded with the camera will not be
affected.
■ Because of the normal physical characteristics of the liquid crystal, the
reaction of the display may become slow at low temperatures. At high
temperatures, the display may become dark, but it will return to normal at
room temperature.
SD MEMORY CARD AND MULTIMDEIA CARD
The DP1 camera uses a SD memory card, SDHC memory card and
multimedia card.

the write protection switch, which prevents writing or
formatting the card accidentally. If the switch is
placed in the ‘LOCK’ position, it is not possible to
overwrite or erase your data accidentally.
■ We do not recommend using a multimedia card in continuous shooting or
Movie mode due to the slow writing speed.
■ Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heating device.
■ Avoid storing cards in environments of high temperature and humidity or
where static electricity or electromagnetic fields may be generated
■ For proper usage of the card, please refer to their instruction manuals.
