With many advanced digital cameras, a half-press of the shutter will start focus lock. But with the DiMAGE F100, capturing in-focus images is even easier. Thanks to the amazing Minolta-developed Area AF, you can just point the camera and shoot; no focus lock is required. Area AF will automatically detects your subject within its extra-wide focusing area, and deliver optimum results. |
 |
| The DiMAGE F100 is the first digital camera with a built-in lens to offer the Area AF with Subject Tracking AF. Subject Tracking AF is a feature that keeps great photo opportunities from passing you by. That's because it automatically follows the movement of your subject within the autofocus area, switching the active focusing block to make sure the subject stays sharp. This feature is activated with a half-press of the shutter button, and continues until you press the button all the way down to capture the image. |
 |
| Camera response is further enhanced by rapid autofocusing. This speedy operation is the product of ultra-fast ASIC circuitry, a sophisticated focusing algorithm, and quick lens adjustment. It leads to focusing speeds of approximately 0.35 seconds at the widest lens angle and approx. 0.5 seconds in telephoto (1 meter). |

 |
| Another feature making its first appearance in a digital camera, Automatic Digital Subject Program Selection, makes it easier than ever to get correct exposures in various situations. Just leave the DiMAGE F100 in Auto mode, and exposure is adjusted automatically to match the scene: portrait, night portrait, landscape, sunset, or sports action. The LCD monitor displays an icon to tell you which mode is active. Macro mode is also provided as a manual setting. |

Adjustments are made to obtain soft skin tones, and your subject is made prominent through a shallow depth of field. |
