Features:

Ultra-Compact Full-Frame Design Without Compromise

The Sigma fp redefines portability by delivering a true 35mm full-frame sensor in one of the smallest and lightest mirrorless bodies ever produced. This compact form factor allows professionals and enthusiasts to shoot full-frame quality without the physical burden of traditional camera systems. Whether mounted on a gimbal, rigged for cinema production, packed for travel, or used handheld for street photography, the reduced size translates into less fatigue, faster setup times, and greater creative freedom in tight or unpredictable environments. Unlike bulkier full-frame cameras, the Sigma fp encourages spontaneous shooting while preserving professional output.

True Cinema-Grade RAW Video Recording in a Hybrid Camera

What separates the Sigma fp from nearly every mirrorless competitor is its ability to internally record CinemaDNG in 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit formats. This feature brings genuine cinema workflows into a compact hybrid camera, offering unparalleled control over color grading, dynamic range, and exposure recovery. Filmmakers benefit from cleaner shadows, smoother highlight roll-off, and precise color manipulation that compressed video formats simply cannot match. This level of video integrity is typically reserved for dedicated cinema cameras, making the Sigma fp an exceptional value for serious video creators.

Electronic-Only Silent Shutter for Discreet and Reliable Shooting

By eliminating the mechanical shutter entirely, the Sigma fp achieves completely silent operation and a simpler internal structure. This design choice not only makes the camera ideal for quiet environments such as weddings, theaters, wildlife, and documentary work, but also increases durability by reducing mechanical wear over time. The electronic shutter supports fast shutter speeds up to 1/8000s, allowing photographers to freeze motion with confidence while maintaining absolute discretion in any setting.

Direct-to-SSD Recording for Unlimited Workflow Freedom

The Sigma fp supports direct recording to portable SSDs via USB-C, removing the traditional limitations of SD card capacity and write speed. This feature dramatically extends recording times, particularly when shooting high-bit-depth CinemaDNG files, and simplifies on-set data management by enabling fast transfers directly to editing systems. For filmmakers working on long takes, interviews, or commercial productions, SSD recording ensures efficiency, reliability, and fewer interruptions during critical moments.

12-Bit RAW HDMI Output for Professional External Recording

For productions requiring the highest possible image quality, the Sigma fp offers 12-bit RAW output over HDMI to compatible external recorders. This expands dynamic range, improves tonal gradation, and preserves fine image detail, making it ideal for advanced color grading and post-production workflows. The ability to output RAW video externally positions the Sigma fp as a legitimate cinema tool capable of integrating seamlessly into professional production pipelines.

Back-Illuminated Full-Frame Sensor for Exceptional Image Quality

At the heart of the Sigma fp is a 24.6-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor designed to deliver sharp detail, accurate color reproduction, and strong low-light performance. The sensor excels in both still photography and video, producing clean images across a wide ISO range with excellent dynamic range. This ensures consistent, professional-grade results whether shooting landscapes, portraits, commercial work, or cinematic footage.

Modular Design That Adapts to Any Shooting Style

The Sigma fp is intentionally modular, allowing users to build the camera exactly to their needs. It can be stripped down for minimalist handheld use or expanded with accessories such as external monitors, SSDs, microphones, and cages for full production setups. This adaptability makes it equally effective for solo creators, studio professionals, and filmmakers who require a camera that evolves with each project rather than forcing a fixed configuration.

L-Mount Compatibility for Premium Lens Access

Featuring the Leica L-Mount, the Sigma fp provides access to a growing ecosystem of high-quality lenses from Sigma, Leica, and Panasonic. This opens the door to exceptional optical performance across a wide range of focal lengths and shooting styles. Users gain the flexibility to choose from compact primes, fast portrait lenses, or cinema-oriented glass without being locked into a limited lens system.

Advanced Color Modes and Cinematic Looks Built In

The Sigma fp includes an extensive selection of color modes designed to enhance creative expression straight out of camera. Options such as Cinema, Teal & Orange, Monochrome, and Classic looks allow creators to establish a distinct visual identity while reducing time spent in post-production. These modes are particularly valuable for fast-turnaround projects, content creators, and filmmakers who want professional aesthetics without extensive grading.

Multiple Aspect Ratios for Creative Framing Control

Unlike standard mirrorless cameras, the Sigma fp supports a wide range of still and video aspect ratios, including cinematic 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1. This gives creators full control over composition and storytelling from the moment of capture. Paired with the Director’s Viewfinder tools, users can pre-visualize cinematic framing and deliver content that aligns perfectly with professional production standards.

Built for Long Sessions with Advanced Heat Management

Despite its compact size, the Sigma fp is engineered with a robust heat-dissipation system that supports extended shooting sessions. This makes it reliable for long video takes, interviews, and continuous recording without overheating concerns. Combined with its dust- and splash-resistant construction, the camera is well-suited for demanding real-world environments and professional use.

One Camera for Photography, Filmmaking, and Live Streaming

The Sigma fp seamlessly transitions between high-resolution still photography, cinema-grade video production, and USB webcam functionality. This versatility makes it an all-in-one solution for modern creators who work across multiple platforms and formats. Instead of owning separate devices for photography, video, and streaming, users can rely on a single, highly capable system.
