a Camera Characteristics
Features a 23.6×15.8 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 12.4 million
effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake
reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with
minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera,
with a magnification of approximately 0.85 and field of view of
approximately 96%, for easier image composition and manual focusing.
Features a large 2.7-inch monitor with approximately 230,000 dots, a
wide viewing angle and brightness and color adjusting functions for
high-precision viewing performance.
Uses AA lithium batteries, AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries or AA
alkaline batteries.
Features a Live View function for shooting while viewing the subject in
real-time on the monitor.
Movies can be recorded by taking advantage of the camera lens
properties. The camera can also output composite video so that you can
view recorded images and movies on a monitor such as a TV screen.
A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the
camera. The large text size, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use
menus make the camera easier to operate.
The CMOS sensor features a special SP coating to prevent dust sticking
to the sensor. The Dust Removal function also shakes the CMOS
sensor for removing collected dust.
Features Digital Filters to internally process the image in the camera.
You can use digital filters such as Star Burst or Soft while taking pictures
or to process images after taking them.
Features Custom Image which allows you to adjust settings while
previewing the edited image, enabling a wider range of expression.
Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully
editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in
both formats simultaneously. Pictures taken in RAW format can be
easily processed internally by the camera.
