Features:

24.5MP Full-Frame Partially Stacked CMOS Sensor for Detailed Imaging

The Sigma FP2 features a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked CMOS sensor measuring 35.9 × 23.9mm, delivering the detail and tonal flexibility expected from a full-frame mirrorless camera. Its large imaging area supports detailed photographs, smooth tonal transitions, and creative control over depth of field when paired with suitable lenses.

The partially stacked design also improves sensor readout speed compared with the original fp, reducing the rolling shutter distortion that can appear when photographing moving subjects or recording video. This makes the FP2 useful for photographers who work across portraits, travel, everyday photography, and motion-focused assignments without needing separate camera systems.

Compact Full-Frame Body for Travel and Everyday Photography

Measuring approximately 112.8 × 69.9 × 41.8mm and weighing just 376g without a battery, the Sigma FP2 offers full-frame imaging in a remarkably small interchangeable-lens camera body. Its compact dimensions make it easier to carry during travel, street photography, location scouting, and documentary assignments.

Unlike larger camera systems designed around permanently integrated grips and viewfinders, the FP2 uses a modular approach. Photographers can keep the setup minimal for casual shooting or attach additional equipment when the project demands it. This flexibility is particularly valuable when portability matters as much as image quality.

Hybrid Autofocus with Human, Animal, and Bird Detection

The Sigma FP2 combines image-plane phase-detection autofocus with contrast-detection technology to improve focusing responsiveness and accuracy. Its autofocus system supports human recognition, eye detection, and subject tracking for dogs, cats, and birds, helping photographers maintain focus when subjects move within the frame.

Continuous autofocus and tracking functions are particularly helpful for portraits, pet photography, bird photography, and documentary work where movement is difficult to predict. An autofocus sensitivity range of −5 to +18 EV also provides focusing capability in challenging lighting conditions when used with compatible lenses.

For greater control, photographers can switch to manual focusing and use focus peaking or magnification to check critical details.

Up to 20 fps Continuous Shooting for Fast-Moving Subjects

With continuous shooting speeds reaching approximately 20 frames per second, the FP2 gives photographers more opportunities to capture the precise moment they want. This is especially useful when photographing moving animals, spontaneous expressions, active subjects, or moments that happen too quickly for single-frame shooting.

At its maximum burst rate, the camera supports approximately 200 JPEG or 180 DNG images in a continuous sequence. Slower shooting options of 8, 5, and 3 fps allow users to balance capture speed with storage and workflow requirements.

Because the FP2 uses an electronic shutter, photographers should still consider potential banding under certain artificial lights and residual rolling shutter effects.

6K Open Gate Video Recording for Flexible Framing

The Sigma FP2 supports 6K Open Gate recording, allowing filmmakers to capture video using the full sensor area instead of committing to a conventional widescreen crop during recording.

This gives editors greater freedom to produce different compositions from the same footage. A single recording can accommodate horizontal presentations, vertical social media videos, and alternative aspect ratios, depending on the original framing and required output resolution.

Open Gate recording is particularly useful for commercial production, social content, interviews, travel filmmaking, and projects requiring multiple delivery formats. It can also provide additional framing flexibility when correcting composition during editing.

Professional Apple ProRes RAW and L-Log Recording

For projects requiring substantial editing flexibility, the FP2 supports 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ recording. These formats provide greater control over image processing during compatible post-production workflows, making them useful for commercial filmmaking, short films, and productions involving detailed color adjustments.

The camera also supports L-Log, giving filmmakers a flatter image profile designed to preserve tonal information for color grading. This allows footage to be adjusted toward a consistent visual style across different scenes or camera setups.

ProRes RAW recording supports up to 6K at 29.97 fps. Available recording resolutions and frame rates vary depending on the selected codec and shooting settings.

Up to 14.1 Stops of Dynamic Range for High-Contrast Scenes

The Sigma FP2 offers up to 14.1 stops of claimed dynamic range when recording in 4K full-frame L-Log. This provides additional flexibility when filming scenes containing both bright highlights and deep shadows, such as outdoor interviews, landscapes, and interiors with strong window lighting.

The camera also provides a claimed seven stops of highlight headroom at ISO 1250 and above in the applicable recording configuration. This is particularly useful when preserving brighter portions of a scene for later adjustment during color grading.

Actual recorded detail will depend on exposure, ISO settings, lighting conditions, and the chosen recording format.

Dual-Base ISO for Changing Lighting Conditions

The FP2 uses different base ISO settings depending on the selected capture mode. For still photography and standard MOV recording, its base ISO values are 320 and 2500. In Log and RAW recording modes, the corresponding base ISO values are 1250 and 10000.

Having separate base sensitivity settings gives photographers and filmmakers greater flexibility when working in environments with different lighting levels. It helps users select appropriate exposure settings without relying entirely on progressively higher sensitivity adjustments.

The camera supports ISO 100–102400 for standard still photography, with additional expanded low ISO settings available. Exposure results will still depend on the selected ISO, lighting, lens aperture, and recording format.

Dedicated STILL/CINE Switch for Efficient Hybrid Shooting

A dedicated STILL/CINE switch allows the Sigma FP2 to transition between photography and filmmaking without navigating through multiple menu levels. Each shooting mode has its own interface and workflow, giving users access to controls suited to the type of content being captured.

This is especially practical for wedding photographers, commercial creators, documentary teams, and hybrid shooters who regularly alternate between photographs and video clips.

Instead of treating video as a secondary function, the FP2 provides a dedicated cinema-oriented operating environment while retaining the controls needed for detailed still photography.

High-Frame-Rate Recording for Slow-Motion Video

The FP2 supports a range of video frame rates suited to conventional filming and slow-motion production. In supported 4K crop configurations, recording is available at up to 119.88 fps, while 2K recording also supports high-frame-rate capture.

These options allow filmmakers to slow down fast movements during editing, helping emphasize action, product details, environmental motion, or subtle gestures.

High-frame-rate recording can be useful for sports content, product demonstrations, documentary sequences, and creative video projects. Recording capabilities depend on resolution, crop mode, codec, and other camera settings, so not every frame rate is available in every configuration.

3.15-Inch Tilting Touchscreen for Flexible Composition

The Sigma FP2 features a 3.15-inch touchscreen with approximately 2.1 million dots and nearly 100% display coverage. Its tilting mechanism allows the display to move approximately 90° upward and 45° downward, making it easier to compose photographs from low or elevated camera positions.

This flexibility is useful for ground-level landscape compositions, street photography, tabletop product photography, and filming in locations where eye-level viewing is inconvenient.

Touchscreen operation also helps simplify interaction with camera settings and shooting functions, supporting a more direct operating experience without requiring a permanently attached external monitor.

Optional EVF-21 Electronic Viewfinder for Eye-Level Shooting

Photographers who prefer composing through a viewfinder can equip the Sigma FP2 with the optional EVF-21 electronic viewfinder. It features a 0.5-inch OLED display with approximately 5.76 million dots, providing a detailed viewing image for checking composition and focus.

The EVF attaches through USB-C and can tilt upward by approximately 90°, allowing photographers to frame images at eye level or from lower shooting positions.

Because the viewfinder is removable, users can choose between a compact LCD-based setup and a more traditional viewing experience. This makes the camera adaptable to different shooting preferences without permanently increasing its size.

70GB Internal Storage with SDXC and External SSD Support

The Sigma FP2 includes approximately 70GB of internal memory alongside support for UHS-II SDXC cards and compatible portable SSDs through USB 3.2.

This combination gives photographers and filmmakers several ways to manage their files. Internal memory provides useful additional recording capacity, while SD cards offer a familiar removable storage option. External SSD recording can be incorporated into workflows requiring compatible high-capacity media.

Having multiple storage options is especially useful for extended assignments, travel, and video production, where available recording capacity can influence how efficiently a shoot progresses.

Electronic Shutter with Speeds Up to 1/25600 Second

The FP2 uses a fully electronic shutter with speeds ranging from 1/25600 second to 30 seconds, along with Bulb exposure support for up to five minutes.

Fast shutter speeds help photographers control exposure in bright environments and freeze movement when shooting conditions allow. Longer exposure options support night photography, stationary subjects, and creative images involving light or motion.

The electronic-only design also allows silent shutter operation, which can be useful in quiet environments such as performances, ceremonies, or documentary situations. However, users should be aware of potential rolling shutter distortion and artificial-light banding, since a mechanical shutter is not available.

14-Bit DNG RAW Recording for Detailed Photo Editing

The Sigma FP2 records 14-bit losslessly compressed DNG RAW files, providing photographers with greater flexibility when processing images after capture.

RAW recording preserves more image information for adjustments to white balance, tonal contrast, exposure, and color than a finished JPEG typically allows. This is especially useful for landscape photography, portraits, commercial photography, and other applications where careful post-processing is important.

The camera also supports simultaneous DNG and JPEG capture, allowing photographers to keep an editable RAW file alongside a more convenient image for immediate viewing or sharing.

13 Creative Color Modes for Different Visual Styles

The Sigma FP2 includes 13 color modes: Standard, Rich, Calm, Powder Blue, Warm Gold, Teal and Orange, FOV Classic Blue, FOV Classic Yellow, Forest Green, Sunset Red, Cinema, 709 Look, and Monochrome.

These modes allow photographers to establish different visual treatments while shooting, reducing the need to create every look from scratch during editing. For example, Monochrome supports black-and-white photography, while other modes provide alternative approaches to color and contrast.

A dedicated color control makes it easier to access these options while composing images. This is particularly helpful for photographers who enjoy developing a consistent visual style or prefer obtaining a desired look directly in the camera.

Director's Viewfinder for Cinema Lens and Camera Planning

The FP2 includes a Director's Viewfinder function that can simulate framing associated with selected professional cinema camera systems from ARRI, Sony, and RED.

This feature is useful for directors, cinematographers, and production teams who need to visualize compositions before setting up larger cinema cameras. It can help evaluate shot framing, lens choices, and camera positions during location scouting or production planning.

Supported systems include models such as the ARRI ALEXA 35, Sony VENICE 2, Sony BURANO, and RED KOMODO X.

The FP2 also provides anamorphic desqueeze options, allowing filmmakers to preview images captured using supported anamorphic lens ratios.

32-Bit Float Audio Recording with Compatible Accessories

For filmmakers who need greater flexibility when recording sound, the Sigma FP2 supports 32-bit float audio recording when used with the required external equipment.

This recording format can accommodate a wide range of audio levels and provide additional flexibility when adjusting recorded sound in post-production. It can be particularly helpful in documentary, interview, and field production workflows where sound levels are not always predictable.

The function requires the optional HU-21 hot shoe unit together with compatible Panasonic DMW-XLR2 and DMW-DMS1 audio equipment. It is not a standalone capability of the camera's built-in microphone.

Professional Exposure Monitoring for Video Production

The FP2 includes waveform monitoring, histograms, zebra patterns, and false color display options to assist with exposure evaluation.

These tools provide more detailed visual feedback than judging brightness from the LCD alone. Waveform monitoring helps assess luminance distribution, zebra patterns identify areas that reach selected brightness thresholds, and false color offers another way to examine exposure levels across the frame.

For cinematographers working with Log footage or high-contrast lighting, these functions can help maintain consistent exposure decisions across scenes and reduce uncertainty during recording.

Electronic Video Stabilization and Gyroflow Support

The Sigma FP2 includes electronic image stabilization for compatible video recording modes. This provides a way to reduce the appearance of certain camera movements when filming handheld, although stabilization performance depends on shooting conditions and the selected mode.

The camera also supports Gyroflow workflows, giving filmmakers another option for stabilizing compatible footage during post-production.

These capabilities are useful for travel videos, documentary work, and lightweight productions where a larger stabilized camera setup may not be practical. However, the FP2 does not include mechanical in-body image stabilization, and electronic stabilization cannot be used simultaneously with 6K recording.

L-Mount System for Interchangeable Lens Flexibility

The Sigma FP2 uses the L-Mount system, allowing photographers and filmmakers to select compatible interchangeable lenses for different shooting requirements.

A wide-angle lens can support landscapes, architecture, and environmental video, while a standard or telephoto lens may be more appropriate for portraits, events, and distant subjects. This flexibility allows the camera to serve different photographic applications without changing the camera body.

L-Mount compatibility also makes the FP2 relevant to creators who already own suitable lenses within the L-Mount ecosystem. Lens-specific functions and performance should be checked before use.

Modular Camera Design for Customized Production Setups

The FP2 is designed to accommodate different shooting configurations rather than requiring every accessory to remain attached.

For everyday photography, users can operate with a lens and the camera's rear display. For more specialized assignments, they can add the EVF-21 electronic viewfinder, HU-21 hot shoe unit, external storage, compatible audio accessories, and other mounting equipment.

This approach gives photographers and filmmakers more control over the size, handling, and functionality of their setup. It is particularly useful for independent productions that need a portable camera for some assignments and a more extensively equipped system for others.

USB-C, HDMI 2.1, and External Device Connectivity

The Sigma FP2 offers two USB-C connections with different supported functions, alongside a full-size HDMI Type A port conforming to HDMI 2.1 specifications.

The USB interfaces support functions such as external storage, charging, power delivery, audio connections, remote cable release, and compatible electronic viewfinder operation. USB webcam functionality also allows the camera to be incorporated into suitable computer-based video workflows.

These connections make the FP2 more adaptable to desktop production, external monitoring, and recording setups. Accessory compatibility and available functions depend on the connection used.

Extended Battery Life with USB Power Delivery

Powered by the Sigma BP-91 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the FP2 is rated for approximately 370 still images or 130 minutes of video recording under Sigma's specified testing conditions.

This represents an approximately 30% improvement in battery life over the original Sigma fp, providing additional shooting time while maintaining a compact body.

USB Power Delivery support allows compatible external power sources to be incorporated into longer workflows, while the optional CN-91 DC connector provides another external power solution. A USB PD adapter rated at 27W or higher is recommended.

These options are useful for interviews, studio sessions, fixed-camera recording, and projects where frequent battery changes would interrupt production.

Dust- and Splash-Resistant Construction for Outdoor Use

The Sigma FP2 incorporates a dust- and splash-resistant structure designed to provide protection during everyday outdoor shooting.

This is useful for photographers and filmmakers working in changing environments, including travel assignments, street photography, and location-based productions where occasional light rain or airborne dust may be encountered.

However, the camera is not waterproof and does not have a published IP protection rating. Additional protection remains advisable when working in heavy rain, sandy conditions, or other demanding environments.

In-Camera DNG Development and Creative Shooting Tools

The FP2 includes in-camera DNG development, allowing photographers to process compatible RAW images without transferring every file to a computer first.

The camera also provides a Fill Light adjustment during in-camera DNG development, along with exposure bracketing, focus bracketing, white balance bracketing, and interval shooting.

These tools support a variety of photographic techniques. Focus bracketing can help capture multiple focus positions for later processing, while interval shooting is useful for documenting changes over time. Exposure bracketing provides additional capture options when working with difficult lighting.

Customizable Controls and QR-Based Camera Settings

The Sigma FP2 supports customizable shooting functions and the ability to save or load camera settings using QR codes.

This can help photographers maintain familiar camera configurations across different assignments or restore settings when switching between shooting requirements. Customizable controls also allow users to organize frequently used functions around their individual workflow.

For creators who move regularly between photography and video production, these options help reduce repetitive menu adjustments and make the camera easier to operate consistently.

Optional Flash Support for Studio and Portrait Photography

Although the FP2 does not include a built-in flash or permanent hot shoe, external flash operation is supported through the optional Sigma HU-21 hot shoe unit.

Compatible flash functions include TTL automatic exposure, manual flash control, wireless flash operation, and selected synchronization modes. This allows the camera to be incorporated into controlled-lighting environments such as portrait sessions, tabletop photography, and studio product shoots.

The electronic shutter has a maximum flash synchronization speed of approximately 1/50 second in full-frame operation, making this an important consideration for photographers who frequently rely on flash.

Anamorphic Desqueeze for Cinematic Framing

The Sigma FP2 provides anamorphic desqueeze display options for filmmakers using compatible anamorphic lenses.

Supported ratios include 1.25×, 1.3×, 1.33×, 1.5×, 1.6×, 1.65×, 1.8×, and 2.0×, allowing operators to preview footage with corrected proportions while composing shots.

This is useful for independent filmmakers, cinematographers, and video teams working with anamorphic formats, as it makes framing and composition easier to evaluate during recording.

Combined with the Director's Viewfinder and professional exposure monitoring tools, anamorphic display support adds to the FP2's usefulness in specialized cinema workflows.

Webcam and Video Communication Functionality

The FP2 supports USB webcam operation, allowing it to function as a video source in compatible computer-based applications.

This provides an additional use for the camera beyond conventional photography and recorded filmmaking. With a suitable lens, power source, and connection, the FP2 can be considered for online presentations, video communication, and other computer-based production requirements.

The availability of USB audio functions and external connection options also gives users flexibility when integrating the camera into a broader desktop setup.

Is the Sigma FP2 a full-frame mirrorless camera?

Yes. The Sigma FP2 features a 24.5MP full-frame partially stacked CMOS sensor measuring 35.9 × 23.9mm. It is designed for high-resolution photography and professional video production in a compact interchangeable-lens camera body.

What lenses are compatible with the Sigma FP2?

The Sigma FP2 uses the L-Mount system and supports compatible L-Mount lenses from Sigma, Leica, Panasonic, and other L-Mount Alliance manufacturers. Lens compatibility and available functions may vary by model. The body-only configuration does not include a lens.

Does the Sigma FP2 record 6K video?

Yes. The Sigma FP2 supports 6K Open Gate video recording, allowing filmmakers to capture footage using the full sensor area. It also supports 4K and 2K recording, with available frame rates depending on the selected codec, resolution, and crop mode. Apple ProRes RAW recording supports up to 6K at 29.97 fps.

Does the Sigma FP2 have image stabilization?

The Sigma FP2 features electronic image stabilization for compatible video recording modes but does not include mechanical in-body image stabilization (IBIS). Electronic stabilization cannot be used during 6K recording. For additional stability, users can consider supported stabilized lenses, tripods, or gimbals.

Does the Sigma FP2 have autofocus and subject tracking?

Yes. The FP2 combines phase-detection and contrast-detection autofocus with subject tracking for people, dogs, cats, and birds. It also supports Eye AF, continuous autofocus, manual focus, and focus peaking, making it suitable for portraits, pet photography, wildlife, and video recording.

Does the Sigma FP2 have a built-in electronic viewfinder?

No. The Sigma FP2 uses a 3.15-inch tilting touchscreen for composing photographs and videos. Photographers who prefer eye-level shooting can attach the optional Sigma EVF-21 electronic viewfinder, which features a 5.76-million-dot OLED display and a 90-degree upward tilt.

Can the Sigma FP2 record directly to an external SSD?

Yes. The Sigma FP2 supports recording to compatible portable SSDs through its USB 3.2 connection. It also includes approximately 70GB of internal storage and supports UHS-II SDXC memory cards, providing multiple storage options for photography and video production.

Does the Sigma FP2 have a mechanical shutter?

No. The FP2 uses an electronic-only shutter with speeds up to 1/25600 second. While this supports silent shooting and fast continuous capture, photographers should consider potential banding under artificial lighting and rolling shutter distortion when capturing rapid movement.

Is the Sigma FP2 suitable for professional filmmaking?

Yes. The Sigma FP2 supports 6K Open Gate recording, 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW, L-Log, anamorphic desqueeze, and professional exposure monitoring tools. Its compact, modular design also supports compatible external audio equipment, storage devices, and camera accessories for customized filmmaking setups.

Is the Sigma FP2 weather-sealed?

The Sigma FP2 features dust- and splash-resistant construction designed to tolerate conditions such as light rain. However, it is not waterproof and does not have a published IP rating. Additional protection is recommended when shooting in heavy rain, dusty environments, or other challenging conditions.

How long does the Sigma FP2 battery last?

The Sigma FP2 uses a rechargeable BP-91 lithium-ion battery rated for approximately 370 still images or 130 minutes of video recording under specified testing conditions. Battery life varies with recording settings, accessories, temperature, and usage. USB Power Delivery is also supported for compatible external power setups.

Does the Sigma FP2 include a lens?

The standard Sigma FP2 body-only package does not include a lens. Buyers need a compatible L-Mount lens to begin shooting. Sigma also offers selected camera bundles with a lens or the optional EVF-21 electronic viewfinder, depending on availability.
