ENVIRONMENT

 Your camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to

physical shock.

 This camera benefits from a dust and splash proof construction. Although

this construction enables the lens to be used under light rain, it is not the same as being water proof. Please pay attention to prevent a large amount of water from splashing on the camera, especially when using it by a waterside. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism and electric components if damaged by water.

 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.

SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards

 The camera will work within a temperature range between 0˚C/32˚F and

+40˚C/104˚F and humidity less than 85% (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 affect 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.

DURING PROLONGED USE

 Although there are cases where the surface of camera gets hot, this is

not a malfunction.

 If you use the camera for an extended period of time, the camera may get

hot and the warning mark ( ) will be displayed. If the camera gets too heat, a warning message will be displayed and the camera will turn off automatically.

 If the camera turns off, please leave it switched off for more than ten

minutes to lower its temperature.

 Image quality may lower when the camera gets hot. If the warning mark

( ) is displayed, we recommend turning off the camera and wait until the temperature of the camera becomes lower.

 When you use a USB storage device, such as an SSD card, to shoot a

movie, the USB storage may become hot and movie recording may stop.

SD MEMORY CARDS (OPTIONAL)

This product supports the following memory cards that comply with the SD standards.

 In this instruction manual, these memory cards are referred to as the

‘Card’ or ‘SD card’.

 This product is compatible with SDHC and SDXC memory cards based

on the UHS-I or UHS-II standards.

 For movie shooting, an SD card may not be available depending on the

bit rate. For details on compatible media, refer to "BIT RATE AND COMPATIBLE MEDIA" (P.76).

 SD cards have a write protection switch, which prevents the card from

being accidentally written to or formatted. Moving the switch to the ‘LOCK’ position prevents accidental erasure of files.

 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.

ABOUT THE LENSES

This camera uses the L-Mount. Your camera can use interchangeable lenses for L-Mount.

 This camera has a 35mm full-frame image sensor. In order to take full

advantage of the capability of the image sensor, it is recommended that L-Mount lenses are used for full size format. You can use lenses for APS-C format in DC Crop mode, which limits the recording area of the image sensor for APS-C size.

 Sigma MC-21 Mount Converter (optional) allows you to use Sigma SA

mount interchangeable lenses or Sigma interchangeable lenses for Canon EF mount.

 Depending on the release date of the lens, updating the lens firmware

may be required. It may also be necessary to update the camera firmware. Please check our website for the latest information about the corresponding lens.

https://www.sigma-global.com/en/download/

ELECTRONIC SHUTTER

This product is not equipped with a mechanical shutter mechanism. It provides an electronic shutter that electronically controls the image sensor to adjust the exposure time. The electronic shutter enables the high-speed shutter speed and high-speed continuous shooting with no noise or vibration. However, the electronic shutter has disadvantages, so be sure to note the following points.

 Uneven exposure can easily occur under a flickering light source such as

a fluorescent light, so use the slower shutter speed.

 The flash tuning speed is set to 1/30 sec. or less (1/15 sec. or less when

the image quality is set to DNG and DNG + JPEG and the memory bit count is 14 bits). When shooting with the flash using manual exposure, set the shutter speed to 1/30 sec. or less (1/15 sec. or less).

 When shooting a fast-moving subject, distortion may occur.

button or half-press the shutter button to apply the setting.

P PROGRAM AE

Use this mode for casual shooting. In the Program AE mode, the camera automatically selects an appropriate combination of shutter speed and aperture values based on the brightness of the subject.

CAUTION

 If the mark is shown, it may cause the camera to shake because

the shutter speed reduces. Increase the ISO sensitivity (see page 68) or use a tripod.

 If the subject is too bright or dark, both shutter speed and aperture value

indicators flash. Decrease the ISO sensitivity (see page 68).

PROGRAM SHIFT (STILL)

You can change the combination of shutter speed and aperture value selected by the camera while retaining the same exposure level. Adjust the shutter speed and aperture value using the Front Dial.

A APERTURE PRIORITY AE

Set the desired aperture. In Aperture Priority AE mode, the camera determines the appropriate shutter speed based on the brightness of the subject.

 Rotate the Front dial to set the desired aperture.

CAUTION

 If the mark is shown, it may cause the camera to shake because

the shutter speed reduces. Increase the ISO sensitivity (see page 68) or use a tripod.

 If the subject is too bright or dark, the shutter speed indicator flashes.

Adjust the aperture until it stops flashing.

In CINE mode (CINE style)

To set the aperture, open the Quick Set menu or select [ SHOOT] → [Exposure Settings].

To switch to P Mode, in the Quick Set menu, press the button while selecting the aperture, and in the [ SHOOT] menu, set the aperture value to [Auto].

S SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY AE

Set the desired shutter speed. The camera automatically determines the aperture value based on the brightness of the subject.

 Set the desired shutter speed by rotating the Front Dial.

CAUTION

 If the subject is too bright or dark, the aperture value indicator flashes.

Adjust the shutter speed until it stops flashing.

In CINE mode (CINE style)

 To set the shutter angle (speed), open the Quick Set menu or select

[ SHOOT] → [Exposure Settings].

 To switch to P Mode, in the Quick Set menu, press the button while

selecting the shutter angle, and in the [ SHOOT] menu, set the shutter angle (speed) to [Auto].

M MANUAL EXPOSURE

Set both the shutter speed (angle) and aperture value.

Set the aperture value using the Front Dial. Then, set the shutter angle (speed) using the Rear Dial so that the numeric value of the exposure meter is set to "0.0".

 The exposure meter can display an exposure error of up to ± 5 stops from

the correct exposure in 1/ 3 steps. If the exposure error is more than three stops, the exposure meter will flash.

When the ISO Sensitivity (P.68) is set to [ISO Auto]:

Images are taken using Auto Exposure in which the camera automatically sets the ISO sensitivity according to the brightness of the subject.

CAUTION

 If the subject is too bright or too dark, the ISO indicator flashes. Adjust the

shutter speed (angle) or aperture until the indicator stops flashing.

In CINE mode (CINE style)

 To set the shutter angle (speed) and aperture, open the Quick Set menu

or select [ SHOOT] → [Exposure Settings].

 In the Quick Set menu, to switch to S Mode, press the button while

selecting the aperture. To switch to A mode, press the button while selecting the shutter angle.

 In the [ SHOOT] menu, to switch to S mode, set the aperture value to

[Auto]. To switch to A mode, set the shutter angle (speed) to [Auto].

TIP

WHEN YOU ARE USING AN L-MOUNT LENS WITH AN APERTURE RING:

In Aperture Priority AE or Manual Exposure mode, you can set the aperture value using the aperture ring of the lens. If you want to select an aperture value using the camera menu or dial, set the aperture ring to position A.

ABOUT THE SHUTTER ANGLE (CINE/CINE STYLE)

For the cinema camera, the shutter angle (angle) is generally used as the unit of exposure time in the shutter. For example, "360°" means that an

exposure time of 100% is applied for each frame, and "180°" means that an exposure time of 50% is applied for each frame.

DIAL OPERATION IN CINE MODE (CINE STYLE)

In general use, an exposure operation carried out by dialing is prohibited in CINE mode (CINE style), however, it can be permitted as needed.
