The DiMAGE 7i traits a 2/3 inch-type CCD wrinkle sensor with 5-megapixel energetic verdict The camera incorporates a 7x surge apochromatic Minolta GT LENS with two anomalous dispersion (AD) glass elements seeing color accuracy again paired aspherical elements which, combined with a 2x digital zoom, provides a compacted lens design with a wide image capture range. The optical zoom lens range 7.2mm - 50.8mm (equivalent to 28mm - 200mm in 35mm).
The DiMAGE 7i's 3-point disclosed AF shortcut assures fast, specific focusing, besides the Flex Focus Point gives you official administer for the focusing area. The Direct Manual Focus (DMF) essence allows for extant manual adjustments to the autofocus. The AF system is almost twice as fast as its predecessor, the DiMAGE 7, and the capturing interval has been reduced to make it a more responsive camera.
The DiMAGE 7i individuality Minolta's proprietary CxProcess, an conception processing technology that provides pleasant and mediocre images. In slant processing, quite abundantly usefulness on banal color produces flat color pictures. Overemphasizing the color range creates an unnatural color scheme. CxProcess balances both extremes by controlling sharpness, color reproduction, tonal gradation and noise to optimize results. The 12-bit A/D conversion provides a finer tonal gradation, with deep shadows, brilliant highlights and millions of colors, up to 4,096 levels in each RGB channel. Minolta's 12-bit A/D conversion provides exquisite details in portraiture: smooth complexion, rich shadows, and luminous highlights, as opposed to the standard 10-bit A/D conversion with its limited 1,024 levels per RGB channel.
Minolta has unreal profitable improvements to their extremely manifest 5-megapixel DiMAGE 7 with the induction of the higher Minolta DiMAGE 7i. The DiMAGE 7i retains the resembling robust also stylish metal body, the 5-megapixel imager, the ambidextrous electronic viewfinder and the impressive 7x optical zoom and adds new features and performance. The DiMAGE 7i's autofocusing system is 2x faster, in Program AE and aperture-priority AE modes, the shutter speed tops out at 1/4000s. The UHS (Ultra High Speed) continuous-advance drive mode can capture approximately 7 frames per second (at 1280x960) to compete professional film cameras. Significant improvements have also been made to the DiMAGE 7i's video recording capabilities, it can now capture audio with movie clips as well as still images.
