Sigma today announced its first firmware update for the SD14 DSLR, version 1.01. The update is said to offer three improvements:

1. Sensor cleaning can be done by powering the camera from the battery
2. Improved speed setting and slow-sync mode for “A” mode flash photography
3. Improved image quality when reviewing images on the camera’s LCD monitor

In addition, the update fixes overexposure when using flash, incompatibility with FAT16 CF cards, occasional camera freeze, LCD flicker, and wireless flash problems. A bug in the menu which didn’t save the AdobeRGB setting when changed from sRGB has also been fixed, as well as improvemnts in the Korean-language menu.

The Sigma SD-14 is a 14MP DSLR with a Foveon X3 sensor and is claimed to provide unusually good color reproduction due to the unique construction of the sensor.
