Features
· Slim Design with Folded Optical Zoom
The DiMAGE Xg is a camera that you'll simply want to take with you
everywhere you go. It weighs only about 120g and, at just 20mm thick,
boasts a compact body, even during zooming. That's because the folded
optical zoom keeps the lens from jutting out of the main camera body.
You never have to worry about disturbing the subject of your photo with
a moving lens-just coolly snap away. Sophisticated folded optics
eliminate the standard protruding zoom lens and keep the DiMAGE Xg's
design ultra-slim. The 3X optical zoom is adjusted internally and
quickly gets you extremely up close to your subject, while the 4X
digital zoom lets you seamlessly extend your shooting range to 12X zoom.
· Fast Start-Up
With the world's fastest start-up time* of approximately 0.8 seconds,
you'll never miss a moment of action. Just turn on the DiMAGE Xg and be
ready to take great pictures right away.
* As of January 1, 2004, for 3.2-megapixel, 3x optical zoom models.
· Simple, Beautiful Photography
With the Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection function, the
DiMAGE Xg automatically judges the situation and selects the most
suitable photo mode, allowing you to shoot a variety of subjects in
various conditions with optimal results. For example, the camera
automatically controls color reproduction, contrast, and sharpness
according to the scene. Use the Program Selection to choose from four
scenes: portrait, sports action, landscape, and sunset. In addition,
users can select night portrait/night view settings.
Portrait: For beautiful portrait shots with softer skin color
reproduction; even hair and eyelashes come out sharp.
Sports Action: Faster shutter speed ensures that a moving subject stays
in focus.
Landscape: The entire frame, from foreground to distant background,
stays in sharp focus.
Sunset: Faithfully reproduces the subtle hues of red at sunrise and
sunset.
Night Portrait/Night View: Night View is great for nighttime illuminated
scenes such as city lights. Night Portrait effectively photographs
people against a nighttime backdrop.
· Superbly Clear Images
The CxProcess™ II image processing technology incorporates
characteristics like smooth gradations, natural skin tones, and
brilliantly clear colors for images that are more natural and lifelike.
The DiMAGE Xg's 3.2 megapixels capture fine lines and intricate details
for stunning digital images, and unique folded optics maximize the
capability of the CCD. The slow shutter speed and Dark-Noise Reduction
combine to prevent graininess and give exceptional night photos with
clearly contrasted dark tones.
· Wide 5-Point AF (Autofocus)
A Wide 5-Point AF area allows for flexible, accurate focusing. The wide
AF area is composed of 5 local focus areas, and you can switch between
wide focus area and spot focus point, which allows you to focus on a
central area. Macro lets you get up close and personal with your
subjects. In fact, you can get as close as 15cm (5.9 inches) at all
focal lengths, without changing shooting mode, for crisp, detailed
shots.
· Versatile Movie Shooting and Editing
In Movie mode, the DiMAGE Xg can record longer movie clips, at
resolutions of 160 X 120 or 320 X 240 pixels, onto the SD memory card
for as long as its capacity will allow. Added to the standard frame-rate
of 15 fps is a 30 fps mode for smoother moving images. The Night Movie
function allows you to video even in dimly-lit locations. The DiMAGE Xg
boasts a Movie Editing function, meaning you can both shoot and edit
your digital movie on the camera. You can also cut out unwanted parts of
a video clip, as well as extract stills.
· Easy to Operate
The DiMAGE Xg has a number of convenient, easy-to-use functions. The
Mode Dial allows easy, stress-free still, movie, and audio recording
operation. The Quick View/Delete button allows you to play back or
delete images you've just taken. Key Customization lets you register
your most frequently used settings by setting from 4 features on the
recording mode menu for right and left key operation during shooting.
· Low Power Consumption
The DiMAGE Xg is designed to be power efficient, so you can take up to
220 frames* or up to approximately 2300 frames** in continuous advance
speed on a single battery charge.
* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) measurements,
when using standard batteries (lithium-ion) and a memory card (SD, 16
MB).
** Based on Konica Minolta's standard test method:
Drive mode: Continuous
NP-200 lithium-ion battery, LCD monitor off, 640 X 480 image size,
Standard image quality, no instant playback, no voice memo, no flash.
· Direct Camera-to-Printer Printouts
The DiMAGE Xg can printout photos directly to a PictBridge*-compliant
printer without having to go through a personal computer.
* PictBridge is an industry standard established by the Camera & Imaging
Products Association (CIPA).
· More Functions for More Ways to Enjoy
To give your photos that nostalgic touch, simply select either vivid
black & white images or delightfully eye-catching sepia pictures. On top
of that, enjoy the enhanced functionality of Image Pasting for
overlaying selected parts of a recorded image in your choice of 9
picture frames, and Multi-Frame Shot for transforming 9 consecutive
multi-frame images into one.
Voice Memo and Audio Caption can record up to 15 seconds of sound: Voice
Memo immediately after a shot has been taken and Audio Caption
simultaneously during playback. You can also record 180 minutes of
audio. With Remote Camera Function, you can use standard Windows®
programs like Microsoft NetMeeting to teleconference with users anywhere
in the world by simply connecting the DiMAGE Xg to your PC with a USB
cable. Use the DiMAGE Xg to convert high-resolution images to a lower
resolution, either 640 X 480 or, for e-mail attachments, 160 X 120. You
can also reposition and enlarge part of a captured image and save it as
a separate file using Crop Frame.
The Date Imprinting feature eliminates the need to turn on the date code
by automatically imprinting the date that pictures were taken. You can
use the DPOF* settings to choose whether to have these dates on the
photo prints.
* DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a standard developed by Canon,
Kodak, Fuji Film, and Matsushita Electric, intended to record
information such as images to print in memory media.
· Upgraded Optional Accessories
The water- and dust-proof case-the smallest and slimmest* of its
kind-makes the DiMAGE Xg perfect for taking climbing, fishing, camping,
or skiing. With the Marine Case MC-DG300, you can take the camera down
as far as 30m (98 feet) underwater.
* As of January 1, 2004, for a water- and dust-proof 3x zoom digital
camera good for depths as far as 30m.
