Its a mic input for sure, just its 2.5mm

By the way a lot of things have been discussed in the previous tread 

you can find it here

I would prefer it if there was only a single place to talk about the sigma fp, because it would be easier to follow the discussion.

Thanks for posting this so more awareness is created, I also hope the next firmware will come soon.

Fixes I look forward to:

1: exposure preview bug in stills

2: assigning the record button to a custom function

3: cdng playback

4: faster panning the screen in playback when zoomed in ( with the wheel control )

5: Use the Af-on button with auto focus as the Af button and when using manual mode as the magnify button.

6: turn off noise reduction

7: display the hdmi with overlays in 16:9 ( right now its outputting 4:3 when using overlays )

8: make 12 bit uhd with 25 fps possible.

No mechanical shutter, thats correct.

So there is this menu option :

color shading

its under lens optics compensation

Here you can set the aperture and focal length, but still the camera does not seem to take this information into consideration.

Mm, I think your right, I got confused with video for a moment

There's no noise reduction on/off switch in the menus so LCD is showing a JPEG or proxy still image with NR added. And it's a very clean sensor anyway, even at ISO 12,800 you have to zoom very very far into the image to see the slightest hint of noise.

I have tried every combination of setting to try and get the exposure to match between stills M live-view and final image when taken, and it's no go... Very strange as it's fine in Cine mode or with a lens that communicates aperture to the body. So I assume it is a bug where the lens aperture is unknown, and that will need a firmware update. For now, I do advise Auto ISO and Exposure Comp in M mode, or use A mode, as a workaround.

Update:

Actually since Exposure Comp (effectively ISO) does not work in M mode on any of the dials and can't be assigned (have to dive into menus for it), here is a better workaround when using lens with manual aperture and you want full manual control with matching LV / stills.

- Use S priority mode instead of M

- Set ISO to Auto and control it with Expo Comp.

- Set aperture manually on your adapted lens (aperture ring)

- Set shutter speed manually

That is pretty much it. Now the problem is gone.

Interesting workaround however I don't like auto iso, when I make a noise reduction profile in resolve I like the noise to be consistent and not change during the shot.

After I take a shot, I zoom in to check focus, and at high iso I see a noise reduced mess, I would like to see the noise/ actual pixels.

Good to hear you send a bug report to sigma @Andrew Reid

In stills mode with exposure preview ln the camera is doing lots of things it should not be doing.

For example its adjusting the frame rate / display refresh rate when in low light ( lower frame refresh )

and in bright light faster refresh rate.

On canon cameras m mode is much easier to work with.

there the display refreshes faster in preview mode and makes the final shot with the same visual exposure.

Another thing that bugs me is at I cannot turn of noise reduction for the previews.  I want to see the shot without noise reduction. even when shooting in raw it noise reduces the preview image in camera

Iso 6 only works for stills ... and yes it would have been nice if it could be used for video.

Yes the zeiss lens is a keeper, I received mine today, and it's not perfectly parfocal with the adapter I use, I read somewhere that parfocal depends also on the distance to the sensor, its needs to be perfect. 

My copy is focussing very smooth, really happy with it.

Yes it is, I'm still trying to love it, but for stills this makes me crazy.

It all depends in what fixes the next firmware will bring.

and the shutter lag, that also makes me crazy, because when I think I have the shot, it takes it a fraction later.

I'm talking about stills, too, and can't reproduce the behavior of your camera on mine...

Is the histogram the same before and after the shot? ( its darker on mine ) 

yes I'm in M mode, here a video that shows how my cam does this.

I will try a factory reset, see of that helps

I'm talking about stills not video, just to be sure we are talking about the same.

Also look at the histogram before taking the shot and in playback, they don't match, the playback shot is underexposed

in stills mode only, video is fine

Question, if you put the camera in M mode and you set the shutter speed to 50 why does my fp make the shot at 100?

anyone have the same problem?

( I use manual focus lenses )

It not about red, its about money.

They could have made a 6k camera with an nvme ssd. 

But I guess that would require a higher fee to sony to enable the 6k readout . and also a faster bus.

small ssd

Could it be that the shot is just too sharp?

the lens is sharp + no antialias filter.

This wil be hard for any sensor, It would have been good if there was also a full resolution still image to compare it with.

It could be that the artifacts are also in there, further testing is needed

The raw files form the test chart in this video have been uploaded

compared to the zcam e2

And heres is a nice guide for the contax lenses.

Most users tend to think the 28-70 is the worst zeiss. but its not true, it is actually the zoom that is not push pull from the range.

Thumbnails with clickbait get clicks, real content less so.

Yes really looking forward to the next firmware. I want to have the CDNG playback in camera.

And hope they can also adres the exposure preview in stills mode, thats not showing the final exposure.

Seems the 4k of the fp is not perfect, but I knew that, still its nice to see some test.

Now there is storage all the raw files   20 terabyte on a single hdd
