Firmware Update Sigma DP Merrill Digital Cameras

Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce that firmware SIGMA DP1 Merrill, SIGMA DP2 Merrill and SIGMA DP3 Merrill is available for download.

Benefits of the firmware update:

SIGMA DP1 Merrill firmware [Ver.1.04]

  • Improves the stability of operation.
  • Improves the precision of bounce flash shooting when ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-610 DG SUPER SA-STTL and ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-610 DG ST SA-STTL are used.
  • When you enlarge an image, it used to enlarge the centre of the image. However, the new firmware magnifies the image depending on the focusing position.
  • It is possible to select the file name of the image either from “SDIM” or “DP1M”.
  • It has integrated the colour tones of Custom White Balance (Sunlight, Shade, Overcast, Incandescent, Fluorescent, and Flash) among the DP Merrill series.
  • Corrects the phenomenon that the AEL setting goes back to default if the AEL button is set for “Central AEL + AEL”, and alternate MF to AF or     vice versa, while it is still displaying the operation icon.
  • Corrects the phenomenon that self-timer shooting whilst using P Mode would cancel the program shift for the customized shutter speed and aperture settings if you press the release button.
  • Properly displays the image according to the selected magnification percentage.
  • Corrects the phenomenon that the selected exposure is not appropriately applied when an external flashgun is used with Custom Mode.
  • Corrects the phenomenon that, in rare cases, images are not recorded properly when the battery level is low.
  • Corrects the rare phenomenon that the recording process does not go perfectly when the camera is turned off right after taking the image.

CAUTION:  This firmware update requires two files. Firstly, download and save those files on a SD/SDHC/SDXC card. Secondly, start updating the firmware with the saved data in the card.

Once you finish the firmware update of DP1 Merrill to Ver. 1.03 or of DP2 Merrill to Ver. 1.04, or if your camera is DP3 Merrill, it is necessary to install Sigma Photo Pro 5.5 to develop the RAW images.

The previous versions (Sigma Photo Pro 5.4.1 or earlier) cannot process it properly.
