that is bound to amaze. Doing 
away with the old DSLR-versus-
compact distinction that cramped 
photographers' style more than they 
ever knew, the DP2 and DP2s offers 
more artistic freedom, and new 
horizons in photographic expression, 
making the finest in photography 
far more accessible than ever before.

HOOD ADAPTER : HA-21

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

To achieve even smoother operation.

 “The new DP2s” with 
enhanced performance.

The DP2s, the successor to the DP2, 
has outstanding picture quality and 
superior features. The DP2s features 
faster Auto Focusing with an 
enhanced AF algorithm, giving you 
more confidence and more comfort.

By reducing power consumption, 
the newly implemented “Power 
Save Mode” makes better use of 
your battery and increases your 
shooting capacity. The back panel 
User Interface is improved for better 
visibility and faster operation. The 
red markings for shooting and 
the white markings for reviewing 
images have been used to enable 
quicker and accurate operation of 
the camera's controls. 

Try the SIGMA DP2s, with its 
enhanced features and character,
for yourself.

A truly intuitive user interface

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. That's 
way in adding extra features, 
we've been generous to a fault. 

The rather simple user interface 
we gave the DP1 has been refined 
for the DP2, making it even easier 
to shoot pictures just the way you 
want. Because it's a lightweight 
compact, we've focused on making 
it a more complete photographic 
tool that you can carry around with 
you every day.

A stylish new outlet 
for your inner artist

With its intuitive controls, and its 
increased portability and toughness, 
the DP2 and DP2s is made to be 
taken with you anytime, wherever 
you go. 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 

HOOD ADAPTER : HA-21

VIEW FINDER : VF-21

This compact optical viewfinder mounts on 
the camera's hot shoe. It comes with frame 
equivalent to 41mm 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 DP2 from damage. Made from 
high-quality black leather which gains in 
distinction as it wears, the case can be removed 
even with the camera strap is attached.

CLOSE-UP LENS : AML-1

Mount this lens on the optional Hood Adapter 
HA-21 for easy close-up photography. 
The exclusive design delivers outstanding 
image quality from the center of the screen 
right to the edges.
