| SA-9 |
| 1. Lightweight, compact body |
|
| The small size and light weight of the SA-9 camera assures maximum maneuverability. This durable camera gives reliable performance, even under harsh and demanding conditions. SA-9 camera is designed to satisfy the demands of a wide variety of users from, ordinary photographers to advanced ones, with its full range of essential functions such as Mirror lock-up, Dioptric Adjustment, Preview Button and more. |
| 2. Easy to use dial controls. |
|
| The command dial surrounds the shutter button and allows the adjustment of various functions, when used in conjunction with other dials or buttons such as the Function Button, Metering Mode Button, or AF Mode Button. Since complicated settings can be easily made with these dial controls, the photographer can concen-trate on picture composition. |
| 3. AF Cross Sensor assures precise Autofocus. |
|
| Photographer can easily set the point of focus on any selected part of a subject while looking through the viewfinder. The AF Cross Sensor, which is located in the center area of the viewfinder, is the most advantageous operation system due to its excellent tracking capability and its ability to focus on a multitude of subject types. |
| 4. Super High Shutter Speed 1/8000 second. |
|
| The SA-9 employs a conventional shutter dial that can be set from 1 to 1/8000 second high shutter speed. Furthermore, for longer exposures it is possible to adjust the shutter speed between 2seconds and 30 seconds by using the LT button. The high-speed film advance rate of 3 frames per second allows capturing the fluid action of moving subjects in an extremely short period. |
| 5. Settings by Drive Dial and Mode Selector. |
|
| The drive dial can be used as the main switch for the camera, and also for fine adjustments when taking pictures. Simply turning the "Drive Dial" easily engages mirror lock up for minimizing vibration due to mirror movement, or activates Self-timer function to either 2 or 10 seconds delay. It is also possible to set Auto Bracketing by the "Drive Dial". Using the "Mode Selector" one can set the exposure mode easily. |
| 6. Internal Lens Motor (HSM-equip) for super fast, noiseless autofocus operation. |
|
An internal AF motor drive provides the best performance for AF operation of a lens. Thus, the lens' internal AF motor drive of the Sigma system, ensures ideal focusing operation for more than 40 different types of Sigma lenses including hypersonic motor (HSM) lenses. Use of Sigma lenses equipped with a hypersonic motor (HSM) ensures high speed focusing with minimal operating sound. The Continuous AF Mode lets enables the photographer to capture a moving subject in sharp focus. This ensures optimum focus when taking pictures of moving subjects moving towards or away from you at constant speed. It will latch onto subjects between infinity and 26.4 feet (8 meters) moving as quickly as 30 miles per hour (50 kilometers per hour), up from 25 miles per hour (42 kilometers per hour) for earlier model cameras.

| 7. Accessory ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-500 SUPER |
|
| By combining the SA-9's built-in flash with the optional Electronic Flash EF-500 Super, you can operate the flash away from the camera by wireless control, without having to connect a cable between the flash and hot shoe and the TTL auto function still controls light intensity for correct exposure. Additionally, when the EF-500 SUPER is attached to the camera's hot shoe, this combination can be used not only for ordinary front-curtain synchflash shooting, but also rear-curtain syncflash shooting. The rear-curtain synch function is especially useful in slow synch photography of moving subjects. |
