An Instrument Made to Take Pictures

A user interface that's  
even more intuitive

The business of taking photos boils 
down to the skill of the photographer. 
The photograph is the canvas for 
the photographer's individual self-
expression. Sigma creates  
equipment for delving into the 
essence of photography. Sigma's 
design policy is to empower the 
photographer to concentrate on the 
core task: taking pictures. Our top 
priority is to deliver the functionality 
and reliability this requires.

The DP1x was designed to be a 
more highly-evolved photographic 
instrument. So, besides giving it the 
same generous complement of extra 
functions as its predecessor, we've 
listened to the voice of the user, 
and added the same user interface 
that went down so well in the DP2. 
By changing the spec to make 
the controls more intuitive, we've 
dramatically improved its operability 
and responsiveness.

A stylish new outlet for 
your inner artist

With its intuitive controls, and 
its increased portability and 
toughness, the DP1x is designed 
to be a serious photographic 
instrument you can take along 
anywhere, anytime, without 
thinking twice.

Simple yet distinctive, its 
compact body will draw 
admiring glances. Packed 
into a neatly pocket-sized 
package, it has a capacity to 
deliver uncannily high image 
quality that is bound to amaze. 
Doing away with the old DSLR-
versus-compact distinction 
that cramped photographers' 
style more than they ever 
knew, the DP1x offers more 
artistic freedom, and new 
horizons in photographic 
expression, making the finest 
in photography far more 
accessible than ever before.

HOOD ADAPTER: HA-11

This set consists of a lens hood to block out extraneous 
light, plus a hood adapter, designed to fit a 46mm 
general-purpose lens filter.

ACCESSORIES

VIEW FINDER: VF-11

This compact optical viewfinder mounts on 
the camera's hot shoe. It comes with a frame equivalent 
to 28mm on a 35mm SLR.

ELECTRONIC FLASH: EF-140 DG

This compact external flashgun was created exclusively 
for the DP series. With a guide number 2.4 times the 
camera's built-in flash, it extends your shooting range.

HARD CASE: HC-11

This dedicated hard case is specifically designed to 
protect the DP1x from damage while it travels around 
with you. Made from high-quality black leather, it takes 
on a distinguished-looking patina with prolonged use. 
Just remove the outer casing and you're ready to shoot.

Soft Case: SC-11

This soft case will hold the DP1x with the Hood Adapter 
HA-11 and the Viewfinder VF-11 still mounted. Made of 
Neoprene fabric, it's superbly stretchy, and provides an 
outstanding level of cushioning protection.

AC Adapter: SAC-3

With this AC Adapter, the DP1x can be plugged into the 
power outlets in your home. We recommend doing this 
before using your DP1x for an extended period to take or 
display pictures, or when connecting it to your computer.

CLOSE-UP LENS: AML-1

Mount this lens on the Hood Adapter HA-11 (sold 
separately) for easy close-up photography. The exclusive 
design delivers outstanding image quality from the 
center of the screen right to the edges.
