Title: Sigma DP Quattro Cameras' Firmware Update For DNG
Post by: JimAscher on May 03, 2017, 11:55:52 am
I'm surprised this hasn't yet arisen in this forum for discussion -- as it variously has here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/1027 -- that a new firmware update for these Foveon cameras permits saving in the more universal DNG format as well as the limited Sigma-proprietary X3f format.  Options for processing by more RAW-converting apps is deemed one of the primary advantages.  (The new firmware also introduces a new HDR-type option for these cameras, labeled SFD.)  Interesting move by Sigma.
