We set out to design a camera
that sets you free to just take
photographs the way you want.

A camera that lets you focus on
getting the shot. That’s what
the SD14 is designed to be.
We eliminated cumbersome
operations and unnecessary
extra functions, replacing them
with an intuitive user interface,
and rigorously honing the
camera's basic performance
until it was capable of handling
the most difficult conditions.

The SD14 doesn’t offer
complicated functions just

Want something more than
convenience from a camera?

for the sake of it. Just like
a film camera, it combines
structural simplicity with high
performance. That’s all you
need. Once you’ve got that,
then top-class image data
and your own inspiration will
guarantee good photos. Just
take the pictures your heart
desires and your eyes demand.
This is the camera that sets the
photographer free. The SD14
means business. Check it out.

The SD14.

The only camera with the
potential for perfection.

To highlight the importance
of keeping the image
sensor dust-free, a dust
protector has always been
supplied as standard with
all SD series cameras. The
dust protector prevents
tiny particles of dust from
adhering to the image
sensor. In the SD14, it can
be put in place or removed
with a single action.

We gave the SD14 a
new 5-point distance-
measurement autofocus
sensor. Having carried
out a thorough study
based on our own unique
perspective, we took the
bold decision to measure
the autofocus distance
at five separate points –
center, left, right, top and
bottom – for maximum
ease of use. The center
point even has crosshairs
for improved accuracy.
There is a mode allowing

the user to select the
points, and another mode
in which the camera sets
them automatically.

The Sigma viewfinder
function, already acclaimed
for its ease of focusing,
has been improved even
further in the SD14. The
viewfinder – the heart
and soul of any SLR – is a
Pentaprism (Pentaprism

98% x 98%). Aiming for
clear visibility, ease of
focusing and other features,
we gave the SD14 top-of-
the range specifications
for both viewing angle and
magnification.

A 2.5-inch 150,000 pixels
TFT LCD screen is built
into the rear panel of the
camera body to provide a
high-resolution display of
the captured image.
The functions are now
even easier to operate,
thanks to the easy-to-use
control-pad and the high-
visibility LCD screen.

The SD14 has a built-in
GN11 flash that comes
into its own when used
for indoor shots and
outdoor portraits. Used in
combination with the
EF-500DG SUPER flash-gun
(sold separately), it provides
wireless flash capability.

To make the controls
intuitively obvious we
gave the SD14 a Quick Set
Button function.
This allows you to display
and adjust the most
important settings, namely
ISO, resolution, JPEG
quality and file type, and
white balance, on one
screen, using one button.
We've aimed for stress-
free photography.

We gave the SD14
a mirror-lockup function,
which first minimizes the
vibration caused when
the mirror springs up, and
then opens the shutter.
This reduces camera
shake, which is a big help
in macro shots and when
shooting scenery with a
super-telephoto lens. With
the remote controller and
cable release (both sold
separately), vibration can
be effectively eliminated.
