The DiMAGE 7Hi features an advanced 2/3-type CCD with an effective resolution of 5.0 megapixels.* It produces extremely detailed, data-rich images that can be turned into impressive enlargements with an inkjet printer (approx. A3-size, 43.3 x 32.5 cm or 17 x 12.8 inches; 150dpi), or photo-quality A5-size prints from a dye-sublimation printer (6 x 9 inches; 300dpi). The CCD is equipped with a RGB primary color filter to deliver optimum color fidelity.
* The CCD's total pixel count is 5.2 megapixels (2,658 x 1,970 pixels). |

A high-grade lens harnesses the power of the CCD to its fullest. The Minolta GT Lens is an all-glass APO zoom lens (7X optical zoom) that has been designed exclusively for digital photography, and is refined enough for use with a 7-megapixel 2/3-type CCD. It has 16 elements in 13 groups, including 2 AD (anomalous dispersion) glass elements to suppress chromatic aberration and 2 aspheric elements to minimize distortion from the center of an image to its edges. These aspheric elements also help keep the camera compact. |

Choose either Adobe RGB or sRGB as your color space, the range of hues that the DiMAGE 7Hi is able to generate. Adobe RGB has a wider scope of colors than sRGB, and as a result produces images that are better suited for hue compensation and color profile adjustment. Adobe RGB also lets you make the most of your printer's gamut of reproducible colors. |

Color matching using ICC Profiles |
|
 |
|
By embedding the camera's ICC Profile in your images, you can achieve consistent colors among different monitors, printers, and compatible applications such as Adobe Photoshop. The ICC Profile supplies a computer's color management system with the information it needs to automatically optimize color for each device or software. Thanks to this, you'll be able to easily "move" colors from one computer to another as well.
* Embedded ICC Profiles are available for all formats except RAW. |

Extra Fine mode produces JPEG images at 2.5:1 compression, a rate that is lower than that of Fine mode. It is very effective for shooting a bright sky or shiny objects due to processing that minimizes loss in the high frequency areas of an image. |

This innovative technology provides clear, natural-looking colors right away by optimizing a number of key factors (vividness, color reproduction, tonal gradation, and noise). As a result, your images faithfully depict colors in the way they appeared to you at the moment of image capture. |

To ensure a high degree of color detail, Minolta CxProcess is used in combination with 12-bit A/D conversion, a process that differentiates 4,096 hues in each of the camera's three color channels (RGB). This generates a color space of over 68 billion colors, which leads to smooth gradations in your images as well as detailed highlight and shadow areas. |

Macro imaging comes in two types, Wide and Tele. So whether the lens is at its widest setting or fully extended, you can start shooting close-ups just by flicking the Macro switch on the lens barrel. To get more of the background into your shot, use wide-angle macro. Or, when you want to fill the image with your subject, use Tele macro. Either way, your subject gets captured in sharp detail and the background is pleasingly defocused. |
