1	Sigma fp (usability) issues
2	This is a collaborative document for collecting and listing usability issues of the Sigma fp camera with the current firmware (1.01). It will be submitted to Sigma as a bug report. If you contribute, please only report issues that can be fixed with a firmware update.

4	1 - Bugfixes
5
6	general (both stills & video)
7	Summary	Description	Suggested fix
8	Touch screen to move zoom centre	Very time consuming to move the zoomed in part of the screen. Touch to choose a point then use the dial to zoom around
9	Touch for QS	LH touch to select, RH scroll the wheel

12	video specific
13	Summary	Description	Suggested fix	user comments
14	CinemaDNG not standard-compliant	CinemaDNG files are not recognized by Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere and other programs because DNG sequences and .wav files have asynchronous timecodes and frame rates	Make CinemaDNG files standard compliant so that they recognized by Resolve and other compatible programs.
15	Black level changes during recording at certain ISOs on firmware 1.02	The black level of captured 4K 12bit CinemaDNG sequences still "jumps" at certain ISOs	Make sure black level is stable and doesn't flicker regardless of ISO setting	https://youtu.be/gAE19PptAVQ
16	video recording unresponsive after using UVC	after plugging into a computer and using selecting UVC for a while, then unplugging recording will stop functioning. When starting a recording afterwards, the display overlay will freeze, the onscreen video will remain live, but all buttons become unresponsive. Even turning off the power does not turn off the camera. To restore functionality you must remove the battery or disconnect AC power. Still photos still work, however, you need to do a setting reset in order to restore video functionality
17	audio level adjustment is deeply buried in a submenu	audio levels can only be adjusted when going deep into the camera menus	make audio levels available on the QS menu, and optionally on the rear dial
18	audio levels cannot be set to a low level	the lowest manual audio level settings is -36. This is still too much, and results in clipped audio, when using 'hot' microphones and loud sound sources (such as live concerts)	Make audio levels adjustable to (up to) -100. Give actual Gain (+), not Pad (-) instead. If Gain is fixed, use Trim instead. Proper indication as well (FS)

20	continuous focus Issue in cine mode	Still follow focus ion cine mode is big pain and needs to be improved...as for independent and bloggers its impossible to shoot with manual focus

24	Audio specific @ClickCrabby
25
26	Audio has randomly 1 or 2 frames extra	Audio file when recorded in Cinema DNG Raw then audio per clip records 1 or 2 extra frames and that too randomly on some clips - The duration of Audio to video is more by 1 or 2 frames	need the duration of audio to video exact same so there is no syncing issue
27	Audio has 2-12 frames	Cannot use cDNG mode. Importing clips in davinci means every clip has to be realigned
28	No timecode on audio file	There is no audio timecode and every clip of audio starts from 00.00.00.00 - already issue with audio being one frame extra and no timecode to match one has to sync it manually even for just transcoding for NLE adaptation.	definately need the same video timecode to be linked with the audio. so when confirming the audio to pilot track one can sync the audio recorded on external recorder or devices.
29
30	No Audio Metadata	There is no Metadata for Audio to Video marriage of the file or vice versa, and for which reason there is no link of video to audio when recorded in Cinema DNG and has to be exported on timeline as seperate file. (no link)	metadata so that video recognises it has audio and Audio recognises it has video with it. so when video is dragged to timeline it can have audio file along with it and synced.

35	still photo specific
36	Summary	Description	Suggested fix
37	0.1s shutter delay	There is a 0.1s shutter delay. The recorded still image differs from (i.e. is 0.1s more recent than) the temporarily frozen image shown on the camera display after pressing the shutter.
38	exposure compensation not easily available in M mode	in M mode, +/- exposure compensation is not available on a dial or button, which is unpractical when shooting with Auto ISO	make exposure compensation available on the QS menu (as a configuration option) and allow Tone & Color buttons to be optionally used as +/- exposure buttons
39	no DOF preview. lens always preview and focus at wide open.	Lens always focus at wide open, until shutter is pressed. bad design for large aperture lens, as many wide aperture lens has focus shift issue.	allow lens to close down aperture during preview.
40	Magnifier location select with touch	What's the point to focus dead centre and lose focus by recomposition

43	2 - Feature requests
44
45	Operation
46	Support USB Audio DAC	For headphone/DAC dongle
47	allow af-on button when in manual focus mode
48	allow 2 second timer for movies. To disable shake at the beginning of the shot when on tripod
49	allow manual focus override when in autofocus mode
50	allow change of focus direction
51	linear mode for focussing
52	Ability to assign functions to left and right side of function wheel.
53	Allow the record button to be used for custom functions
54	Ability to set function wheels to functions other than iris and shutter - when using non L mount/adapted EF glass one of the wheels will just be doing nothing
55
56	Display
57	RAW clipping indicators	Allow us to see when each R,G and B channel clips in the RAW sensor side	This will let us check RAW range quickly
58	Proper RAW histogram option, like RED cameras have
59	magnify during movie recording
60	magnify time after touching lens 0.5 seconds
61	zebra and focus peaking at the same time
62	Ability to vertically flip the screen image, for use with a mirror to shoot twin-lens reflex camera-style.
63	False Color
64	Color
65	LUT support / bake LUT in-camera
67
68	Recording formats
69	12bit linear RAW at 25p	Based on published data rate it should be possible to do 12 bit at 25p
70	12bit as 10bit + curve	Like the 8bit DNGs make the 10bit store the full range with a linearisation curve
71	24fps not supported	It has 23.98 and 25fps, but is oddly missing 24 fps	Add it
72	DCI aspect ratios not supported	Add DCI aspect ratios to match cinema cameras -- 2048x1080 + 4096x2160	Add it
73	10 bit non linear raw internal
74	10 bit non linear raw external
75	12 bit raw at 25 frames per second
76	lossless compressed raw
77	10 bit MOV recording, HEVC
