g etreadytoshoot fa ster the sports finder won t miss a moment now it s easy to compose and shoot fast-moving action because unlike an ordinary single speed auto focus af cross sensoring the sd10 s af cross sensor in the center of its viewfinder lets a photographer select the subject of focus according to compositional intention lens reflex camera with viewfinder showing data b lens sigma macro 105mm f2.8 ex b aperture f32 b shutter 1/180 b iso speed 100 b exposure mode manual b focus mode manual b raw file format hi 1,512 x 2,268 x 3 layers sigma lens motors for fast af each sigma lens has a motor to drive focusing for af shooting at speeds appropriate for the lens in use attachment of a sigma hsm hypersonic motor lens keeps shooting fast and quiet naturally full manual focusing is also available just what is within the shooting frame the sd10 s unique sports finder offers a view that extends outside of the frame all the better to anticipate the movement of subjects coming into the frame before capturing the crucial moment finder display predictive movement auto focus for subjects moving closer or further away at a fairly steady speed this feature calculates the distance the subject will travel center area metering auto focus frame until the shutter opens and drives the lens to the optimal focus for the shot predictive movement af operates automatically when the continuous af mode is on flash indicator focus indicator shutter speed ae lock indicator exposure meter auto bracketing if subject moves irregularly or is motionless predictive movement af won t be activated aperture value two focus modes continuous af mode c af in this mode the camera continues focusing on a moving subject while the shutter button is pressed halfway for example when shooting athletes or moving vehicles the motion prediction mechanism will activate and control focus predicting the subject s traveling distance from the time the shutter button is pressed to the instant the shutter is released single af mode s af in this focus-priority af mode af ranging starts when the shutter button is pressed and the shutter is released once the subject is in focus when non-stop shooting up to 30 frames a high-speed cpu and high-volume buffer memory enable the sd10 to shoot at 2.5 frames per second for up to 30 consecutive frames in low mode up to 14 consecutive frames in med mode and up to 6 frames in high-quality hi mode the subject comes into focus the focus indicator turns on in the finder with an electronic sound and the focus lock af lock ae lock functions activate fixing the focus when the ae lock button is pressed exposure is fixed at that point in time use this mode if the area that you want to meter and the subject that you want to focus on are not one and the same mirror lock mechanism prevents camera shake 1 6000 second maximum shutter speed with a shutter up to 1 6000 second fast the sd10 can capture what even the human eye cannot see drops of water from a splash in the pool can be frozen in detail or use a high shutter speed for outdoor shooting with a telephoto lens to create an image in which a subject really stands out from the background the mirror-lock mechanism raises the mirror so you can release the shutter without the vibration of the mirror popping up this prevents camera shake and is especially effective for macro shooting and shooting scenes using telephoto lenses use of a remote controller or cable release sold separately also reduces the possibility of camera shake.
