Please read this section before using the camera.
Study and familiarize yourself with the functions of your camera before 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.
In this instruction manual, SD memory card, SDHC memory card and Multimedia card are referred to as the ‘Card’.
We recommend SDHC memory card or high speed SD memory card to store images.
SD memory card or SDHC memory card incorporate 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.
The “Delete” feature of the Camera and PC may not delete the data in the
memory card completely. Some data might still remain. If you wish to remove all data from card securely, please use third party software.

FORCED FLASH
When you pop-up the built-in flash, you can use your camera in this mode.
Please use this mode for ordinary photography.
RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH
When taking a picture with flash, sometimes the person’s eyes reflects the flash light and the “redeye” phenomenon will appear in the picture. In order to avoid this effect, the flash will blink several times, for about one second before the picture is taken, in order to reduce the effect of this phenomenon.
Depending on the lighting and subject conditions, the Redeye Reduction flash
may not completely eliminate the redeye in all cases.
SLOW SYNCHRO MODE
When using the flash with P/A mode, the shutter speed value is limited to faster than 1/30. The slow synchro mode changes the shutter speed up to 15 second depending on light condition. This mode is suitable for a portrait in a nightscape.
FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
It is possible to compensate the flash output level without changing the background’s exposure.

ADVANCED OPERATION
This section explains the application of the more advanced functions of your camera, when composing the expressions of your picture.
SETTING THE WHITE BALANCEWB
The color of light reflected by an object can vary depending on the color of the light source illuminating it. For example, a neutral colored object will reflect reddish light under incandescent lighting, and greenish light under fluorescent lighting. The human brain is able to compensate for differences in the color of a light source, allowing us to see white objects as white, independent of the lighting condition. Film cameras rely on special color-correcting filters and film types to adjust for these differences in lighting. Digital cameras, however, are able to use software to mimic the adjustments made by the brain, so that colors that appear white to the human eye also appear white in your photographs.

It is possible to adjust the recording image parameter (contrast, sharpness and saturation) and select the color space.
Contrast
Contrast can be increased by moving the cursor to + side, or decreased, preserving image detail, by moving the cursor to - side.
Sharpness
It is possible to make the pictures appear sharper, by moving the cursor to + side, or softer by moving the cursor to – side,.
Saturation
It is possible to increase saturation thus making pictures appear vivid, if the cursor is moved to + side. Moving the cursor to – side, decreases saturation and makes images less vivid.

EVALUATIVE METERING
The camera measures the brightness of the scene by independently measuring each segment of the focusing screen and analyzing the correct exposure for the main subject under any lighting situation. Even under strong back lighting or complex lighting situations, the camera will give you the correct exposure.
CENTER WEIGHTED AVERAGE METERING
The camera will measure the average brightness of the entire scene with additional emphasis on the center area. It will determine the most suitable exposure with respect to lighting conditions.
SPOT METERING
The camera will measure the brightness only inside of the center focusing point on the color LCD monitor. This mode is suitable when you wish to set exposure for a portion of the scene and ignore the influence of rest of the scene.
57
CAUSION!!
Images taken using Spot metering will be indicated as Center Metering in the
Image Information Window of SIGMA Photo Pro.
AE LOCK
The camera will fix and memorize the exposure value whilst the “AE” Lock button is depressed. When you wish to lock the exposure of a subject off-center, AE lock is very useful. Use of this function with Spot Metering Mode is recommended.
It is possible to continue taking pictures with the memorized exposure value until this setting is disabled by pressing the

HISTOGRAM
The histogram is a graph depicting the distribution of brightness values in the image for each of the three color channels (Red, Green, and Blue). The horizontal axis shows the brightness level, with darker pixels towards the left side and brighter pixels toward the right. The vertical axis shows the proportion of pixels at each level of brightness.
By examining the histogram of the full image, you can gauge the overall exposure of that image. You can also use the histogram to determine if zoomed-in sections of an image are over or under exposed.
This histogram shows that the higher pixel values are never used in the image, indicating that the image is underexposed, and therefore will appear dark. In general, when the histogram is higher on the left side, the image is mostly composed of dark pixels, causing it to appear dark—either because the image is underexposed or because it is a dark scene such as night shot or sunset.
This histogram shows a fairly even distribution of pixel values, indicating that the image is well exposed, with good contrast. However, the histogram distribution of a well exposed image will vary greatly depending on the subject.
This histogram shows that many of the pixel values are at their brightness limit, indicating that some areas of the image may be blown out. In general, when the histogram runs off the right side, the image will have many white pixels—either because the image is overexposed or because it is a bright scene such as the beach or snow.
