The cameras' high-speed AF system is based on the combination of an ultra-fast image processing LSI chip and a lightweight focusing component. The DiMAGE 7 & 5 are thus able to effectively track subject position with minimal focusing time.

Through the use of luminance patterns and AF information to calculate exposure, vivid and natural-looking images are captured with high exposure accuracy. The DiMAGE 7 features 300-segment metering, and the DiMAGE 5 has 256 segments. Both models additionally provide Center-weighted Average and Spot Metering.


The DiMAGE 7 & 5 offer an impressive degree of exposure control, thanks to a maximum shutter speed of 1/2000 second and the ability to take bulb-trigger shots for up to 30 seconds.
