SIGMA SD14 Firmware Upadate

It is now possible to download SIGMA SD14 Firmware.
The firmware is a program, which runs inside the camera and controls its operation.

• SIGMA SD14 Firmware Ver.1.08

* Both "s14v108_0_000.bin" and "s14v108_1_000.bin" files are necessary for updating the SD14 to Firmware Ver.1.08. Firstly, update the firmware with the "s14v108_0_000.bin" file, and then perform the second update with "s14v108_1_000.bin" file.

[Ver. 1.08]

1. Corrects the occasional phenomenon of an image recorded in RAW format appearing to have an unnaturally large file size.
2. Corrects the rarely occurring error of camera freeze and image recording failure when shooting continuously or if the shutter button is pressed when the CF Card Busy Light is blinking.
3. When Bulb Mode is used Sigma Photo Pro now displays the actual shutter speed used in the exposure rather than just showing the word "Bulb".

[Ver. 1.07]

1. Exposure time of Bulb Mode is increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes (It is only available when the camera is set to Extended Mode).
2. Accuracy of the Evaluative Metering has been improved.

[Ver. 1.06]

1. Accuracy of the custom white balance has been improved.
2. One-day advance date counter that occurs with X3F images during an intercalary year was corrected.
3. Review image quality on the camera's LCD is improved.
4. Users now have the option to disable the shutter release if there is no CF card in the camera. This option is found in the 'Preview Style' menu.
   
   • How to change the setting of preview style

[Ver. 1.05]

2. Corrects the problems related with video output display and functionality.
3. Corrects the display problem for the number of remaining shots on the CF card.

   Originally, sensor cleaning was only available through the dedicated AC adapter.
   If the voltage level of the battery becomes lower than a certain level, the camera will emit a warning beep and will close the cleaning mode. We strongly recommend using a fully charged battery for the sensor cleaning.
2. If using the camera in 'A' mode with flash photography, the selected shutter speed would either be 1/60 or 1/180sec depending on the focal length.
   Now, the optimum shutter speed is selected from the range of 1/60 to 1/180sec.
