SIGMA has released a major firmware update (Ver 2.00) for its fp L full-frame compact mirrorless camera. The update includes some feature improvements for still and video (CINE) modes.

Ver. 2.00 benefit:

• It adds the “False color” function where the exposure status on the screen is displayed in different colors, allowing users to easily see the exposure status of any part of the frame.
• It adds the “Focus Ring Control” function that allows users to change the movement of the focus ring to either linear or non-linear.
• It adds the “STILL / CINE Link Settings” function that allows users to select whether or not they want to link key exposure settings between STILL and CINE modes.
  * The following settings are affected: Shooting Mode, Shutter Speed, Aperture, Exposure Compensation, ISO Sensitivity
• It allows the “Screenshot” and “False color” functions to be assigned to “Custom button functions”.
• It changes the specification so that the countdown before a shot in self-timer mode (2 seconds and 10 seconds), and the exposure time for long exposures (bulb shooting and exposures of 1 second or longer) are displayed on screen.
• It adds a function available in STILL mode where information from the attached lens (focal length and shooting distance) can be displayed on screen.
• It adds a “Clip Numbering” function in CINE mode that allows users to change the clip numbering of the “File name / Number” in the “SYSTEM” menu.
• It improves the correction algorithm for Color Shading Correction.
• It improves the operation of “Pre-AF” in STILL mode and “Constant AF” in CINE mode.
