Once you use the DiMAGE F300 you'll know it's a high-quality digital camera. From the elegant design and rich metal body to the sophisticated performance features including a 5. 0 megapixel CCD, an ultra-compact Minolta GT 3X zoom lens, UHS continuous advance, 12-bit A/D conversion, and Minolta's advanced CxProcess, the DiMAGE F300 ensures that the beauty and details of the original scene are preserved in the digital image. Additionally, the DiMAGE F300 can take over control for point & shoot ease, or give you complete control over exposure, color, contrast, saturation, sharpness, white balance, camera sensitivity, and focus. A complete multimedia tool, the DiMAGE F300 also records movie clips and audio. 5. 0 Megapixel CCD for High-Resolution Images Using technology from Minolta's the top-of-the-line DiMAGE 7Hi, the F300's high-precision electro-optical system maximizes image quality. The system starts with a 5. 3 megapixels CCD, 1/1. 8-type interline primary-color CCD with 5. 0 million effective pixels for fine, high-resolution images. The CCD's pixel resolution will produce 13 x 17 inch, 150-dpi prints or 6. 5 x 8. 5 inch photo-quality prints, creating a print size larger than both A3 and A5 respectively. High-Performance 12X Zoom(3X Optical, 4X Digital) The DiMAGE F300 is equipped with a built-in Minolta GT zoom lens. This sophisticated 3X lens is less than an inch long when retracted. With a focal range of 7. 8 - 23. 4mm, it is equivalent to a 38 - 114mm zoom lens on a 35mm camera. This range covers everything from scenic landscapes to interiors and group shots to portraits and detailed close-ups. Three internal aspheric lens elements ensure sharp, high-contrast images at all focal lengths. The DiMAGE F300's digital zoom seamlessly takes over from the maximum focal length of the optical zoom without interrupting the monitor image. The digital zoom can extend the optical zoom's performance up to four times in 0. 1X increments, giving the F300 the equivalent of a 456mm super-telephoto lens on a 35mm camera. The combined optical and digital zooms produce an amazing 12X zoom range. CxProcess Image-Processing Technology Minolta's CxProcess ensures that the image from the CCD will faithfully reproduce the original scene. CxProcess controls image sharpness, color, and contrast while minimizing noise to produce vivid, natural images with smooth gradations and fine detail. Area Autofocus plus Subject Tracking Autofocus Minolta's Area AF and Subject Tracking AF make focusing quick and precise. Together, these systems locate and track subject movement within the camera's extra-wide focusing area with razor-sharp clarity. Simply point the camera at the scene and AF does the rest; subjects no longer have to be placed in the center of the picture. Using technology developed for the top-of-the-line Minolta Maxxum 9 and 7, Area AF evaluates the objects in the focus frames and locks the focus on the main subject, displaying the active AF sensor to confirm the focus |
