The extremely thin and compact
DiMAGE Xt, 3.2 megapixel digital camera is similar to the stylish and
award-winning Minolta DiMAGE Xi. The DiMAGE Xt is truly a "shirt-pocket" camera,
measuring only 3.4(W) x 2.6(H) x 0.8(D) inches and weighing a mere 4.2 ounces.
The DiMAGE Xt is so easy to carry; you won't know its there until you need it.
The DiMAGE Xt features the world's fastest start-up time of any digital camera
with an optical zoom lens (1.1 seconds), Minolta's CxProcess image-processing
technology, Minolta's exclusive folded optical zoom system with a 3x optical
zoom lens, 4x digital zoom and an even smaller and thinner camera body than the
Award-Winning DiMAGE Xi.
The Minolta DiMAGE Xt can also be used as a remote camera for video
conferencing, and it supports Epson USB DIRECT-PRINT - this allows images to be
printed directly from the camera to a compatible printer using the supplied USB
cable.
The DiMAGE Xt's controls have been designed for comfort and enhanced ease of
use. The main power switch has been positioned to avoid turning the camera on or
off accidentally, while the inclusion of a mode dial makes selecting the
camera's recording, playback, and setup modes simple. A Quick View button allows
images on the memory card to be accessed from the recording modes after they
have been captured, and the controller incorporates the enter button to make
setting functions and navigating the menu options easy.
Features:
- High Resolution at 3.2
Megapixels
With 3.2 million effective pixels, and enhanced by Minolta's CxProcess image
processing technology, the DiMAGE Xt can produce stunning 8" x 10",
Photographic quality prints (with a photo printer).
- CxProcess Image Processing
Minolta's CxProcess image processing technology produces vivid digital images
that mirror your original impression of the scene. CxProcess produces clear,
natural-looking images by optimizing sharpness, color, and contrast, while
minimizing noise.
- Fast Startup Time
The DiMAGE Xt is designed for people on the go. Just grab it, turn it on, and
shoot. With a fast start-up speed of approximately 1.1 seconds, the DiMAGE Xt
is always ready when you are.
- Non-Extending 12x Zoom Lens
(3x Optical, 4x Digital)
The DiMAGE Xt houses a revolutionary folded 3x optical zoom lens that can
capture everything from scenic landscapes to macro close-ups. By using a
high-quality prism that folds the optical path, the lens never extends from
the camera body and zooming noise is reduced to a whisper. In addition to the
3x optical zoom, the DiMAGE Xt provides up to 4x digital zoom; selectable in
0.1x increments. The resulting maximum 12x zoom capacity equals a 444mm
super-telephoto lens on a 35mm camera.
- Wide and Spot Autofocus
Modes
Two autofocus modes give precise control over image sharpness. Wide AF uses a
large autofocus area for quick, easy picture-taking. Spot AF uses a small
focus area in the center of the image frame for singling out a specific
subject or detail.
- Multi-Segment and Spot
Metering
The DiMAGE Xt's advanced multi-segment metering evaluates subject and scene
brightness and continuously monitors the situation for even the slightest
changes. The camera uses information about subject location from the AF system
along with 256 metering segments to calculate the optimum exposure based on
subject and background brightness. There is no need to worry that the subject
will be lost in deep shadows or washed out in front of dark backgrounds.
Additionally, the built-in flash is activated automatically in backlit or
low-light conditions. For basing the exposure on a small area of the subject
or scene, the spot metering mode concentrates the exposure reading to the area
covered by the spot AF sensor.
- Extended Shutter Speed
Range and Noise Reduction
The DiMAGE Xt's extended shutter speed range gives the camera greater control
over exposure in difficult lighting conditions. The camera can control the
exposure from 4 seconds for scenes at night to 1/1000 of a second for
brilliant sunlit landscapes. The DiMAGE Xt combats Dark noise (a grainy or
sandy appearance to digital images taken with long exposures) with
user-selectable noise reduction, which automatically activates for exposures
of one second or longer.
- Remote Camera Operation
The DiMAGE Xt can be used as a remote camera for video conferencing. Simply
use the supplied USB cable to connect the camera to a computer with a Windows
operating system and a compatible application such as Microsoft Windows
Messenger. The camera can be mounted on a tripod or placed in the included
charger stand for hands-free operation.
- Charger/Stand Included
The DiMAGE Xt's charger stand can recharge the battery while it is still in
the camera. It can also charge a single spare battery by itself. The charger
doubles as a camera stand for when the DiMAGE Xt is used for self-portraits, a
remote camera, or when connected to a computer.
- Extended Movie and Audio
Recording
The DiMAGE Xt is a versatile multimedia tool, allowing digital video with
audio to be captured. The length of the movie is limited only by the memory
card capacity and image size (160 x 120 or 320 x 240). You can also record a
15-second voice memo immediately after capturing a still image, or attach up
to 15 seconds of audio caption to a previously recorded still image. Plus, up
to 180 minutes of audio without image data can be recorded.
- E-Mail Copy Function
The DiMAGE Xt's e-mail copy function makes a 640x480 or 160x120 JPEG copy of
an image on the memory card so that it can be easily transferred over the
Internet.
- USB Direct-Print
This very convenient function allows images to be printed directly from the
camera to a compatible printer using the supplied USB cable.
- Optional Waterproof
Marine Case
The waterproof Marine Case MC-DG200 allows the camera to be taken to extreme
locations. From 100 feet under water to the tops of the most rugged mountain
peaks, this case will protect the DiMAGE Xt from the elements.
