The DiMAGE F100 is ready for action right away thanks to its ultra-fast ASIC circuitry. And, as you're shooting, autofocusing is very fast. Checking your images is also hassle-free.
 |
 |
| Why settle for still pictures alone? The DiMAGE F100 lets you record movies up to 35 seconds long, complete with audio. You can play back a movie on the camera's LCD monitor, or connect the camera to your TV and enjoy it on the big screen. Movie files are recorded in Motion JPEG format (320 x 240 pixels). |
 |
| The DiMAGE F100 is also equipped with audio-only recording, which can be a convenient tool for taking notes. A single clip can be 30 minutes long, and is stored as an 8-bit uncompressed Wave file. Playback is not included. |
 |
| Keep a record of where and when you took a particular shot by adding an audio caption to it. Captions are recorded after image capture, and can be 5 or 15 seconds long. |

From the overall shape to its various controls, the DiMAGE F100 puts a lot of emphasis on comfortable use. First, the lightweight and level contour body makes it easy to carry around and to hold as you capture images. Next, camera controls are positioned in a way that supports easy, intuitive operation. Controls include a user-friendly four-way control key and a big function dial for switching between modes. And, to make shooting more enjoyable, you can set the DiMAGE F100 to emit the sounds of a traditional film camera, like the shutter click of a Minolta SLR or the nostalgic Minolta CLE. |

This camera uses tiny memory cards (SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard) to store your images as you're capturing them. And when you're ready to transfer data to your PC, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface gets things done in no time at all. USB supports Hot Plug & Play for ease of use, so you can hook up the camera whenever your PC is on. |
 |
| At full size, a 4-megapixel image is much too large for displaying on a PC monitor. So if you want to share a great picture with someone, just use the handy Email Copy feature, which resizes any image to a trim, emailable size (640 x 480 pixels). Email Copy lets you do this through the camera itself, instead of on a PC. |
 |
| The built-in flash features a TTL (through-the-lens) flash metering system, and has a variety of selectable flash modes. When the camera is set to Auto, you have four modes to choose from: auto, manual fill-flash, red eye reduction, and flash cancel.
