| Storage medium |
|
CompactFlash Card Type I and II |
| Image compression ratio |
|
SUPER FINE (TIFF): uncompressed, FINE (JPEG): approx. 1/5, STD. (JPEG): approx. 1/10, ECON. (JPEG): approx. 1/15 |
| Storage capacity* |
|
(30MB CompactFlash Card)
SUPER FINE: 3 images, FINE: 17 images, STD.: 33 images,
ECON.: 52 images
* Based on standard image-file size; the size differs depending on the subject. |
| LCD monitor |
|
5.1cm (2-inch) TFT LCD monitor made of low-temperature polysilicon |
| AF system type |
|
Minolta's TTL (through-the-lens) phase-detection system with one CCD line sensor; Focus mode: automatic selection between single frame and continuous drive; auto / manual focus (selectable on the lens), AF control: predictive focus control for moving subjects |
| Metering system |
|
TTL type, 14-segment Honeycomb-pattern metering / spot metering selectable; Range: 14-segment Honeycomb-pattern metering: EV 3 - 20, Spot metering: EV 6 - 20 |
| Exposure modes |
|
Programmed AE (P mode), Aperture-priority mode (A mode), Shutter-priority (S mode), Manual exposure (M mode) |
| Exposure compensation |
|
+/-3 EV (in 1/2 EV increments) |
| Shutter |
|
CCD electronic control and vertical-traverse focal plane shutter; Range: P/S/A mode: 1/2000 – 2 seconds, M mode: 1/2000 – 30 seconds*; Flash sync: 1/125 seconds or slower
* To avoid possible image deterioration due to increased noise, exposure of more than two seconds for single image is not recommended. |
| Sensitivity |
|
ISO 200 (In the Gain Up mode*, sensitivity becomes as high as ISO 800 equivalent.)
* This mode reveals certain noise as the brightness of the object increases. Depending on the subject, noise and color captured by the left and right CCDs may differ slightly. |
