Manufacturer's product description
Featured on the new DiMAGE 7 CCD boasts 5.24 million pixels, the highest number available in consumer digital cameras. Even when cropping a digital image file the image can retain an impressive resolution. Each pixel in the CCD is relatively large, providing a wide dynamic range. In dark conditions the CCD automatically turns up the gain to enable focusing without the use of an AF illuminator. DiMAGE 7 has a high-power optical centerpiece: an all-glass 7x zoom Minolta lens that has the flexibility to shoot wide-angle landscapes to intimate portraits using the telephoto setting. DiMAGE 7's zoom range is equivalent to a 28mm to 200mm lens in 35mm format. This new Minolta digital camera features a new, high-performance lens class for digital cameras: Minolta GT lenses. This provides high-image quality with minimum chromatic aberration and curvilinear distortion, and high resolution, especially on the high end of the spectrum. The DiMAGE 7's lens achieves high performance with 16 glass elements in 13 groups. It has two AD (anomalous dispersion) glass elements and two aspheric elements, resulting in sharp, detailed images at all focal lengths. DiMAGE 7 features Minolta's proprietary CxProcess, a new image processing technology that provides clear and natural images. CxProcess balances extremes by controlling sharpness, color reproduction, tonal gradation and noise to optimize results. The camera features a 12-bit A/D conversion that provides a fine tonal gradation, with deep shadows, brilliant highlights and millions of colors. This delivers exquisite details in portraiture: smooth complexion, rich shadows and luminous highlights. DiMAGE 7's exclusive Digital Hyper Viewfinder provides photographers with clear images, even under bright light. With its reflective ferroelectric LCD viewfinder and a visual resolution equivalent to almost 220,000 pixels, DiMAGE 7 is the first consumer digital camera with such a sophisticated optical device. The variable position viewfinder can be tilted up to 90 degrees for added flexibility and creativity in shooting. The Digital Hyper Viewfinder allows the photographer to simultaneously monitor the image and camera settings. DiMAGE 7's 4x electronic magnification can enlarge the central area of the image in the viewfinder during manual focusing - an important feature when image sharpness is critical, especially with close-up photography. The Digital Hyper Viewfinder and the LCD monitor offer a graphic-user interface with a full array of shooting information. The eyepiece sensors detect if the Digital Hyper Viewfinder is being used, and switch the display between the viewfinder and the monitor accordingly. The camera's controls are optimally laid out for ease of use. Frequently used functions are placed in a simple, function-dial system.
