Sigma has issued a statement on the compatibility of its cameras and software with Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows 7. The company notes that the Sigma SD14, DP1, DP1s (pictured) and DP2 are recognised as a mass storage device by Windows 7, but the Sigma SD9 and SD10 are not. Users of these cameras can transfer their photos to a computer running Widows 7 via a Compact Flash card reader. Version 3.5.2 of the Sigma Photo Pro software can be used on computers with 32-bit Windows 7 installed, albeit with limitations that are to be solved by an upcoming software update. 64-bit operating systems are not supported.

Sigma Press Release

Windows7 Compatibility Announcement

We would like to inform customers of the compatibility of our digital cameras and SIGMA Photo Pro Ver.3.5.2 when used with Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows 7.

Digital cameras
The SD14, DP1, DP1s and DP2 are recognized as a mass storage device. However the Sigma SD9 and SD10 cameras are not recognized when connected to a Windows 7 installed computer. There are no plans to release a firmware update for the compatibility in the future. Therefore, please use a CF card reader to transfer images from your CF card to your computer.

SIGMA Photo Pro Ver.3.5.2
SIGMA Photo Pro Ver.3.5.2 can be used on computers with 32-bit Windows 7 installed. However, some sections of thumbnails cannot be displayed. We have plans to provide updated software to solve this problem. Availability of this updated version will be announced in the future. This service is not available for 64-bit OS.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
