| Thanks to the new LSI chip that is shared with the DiMAGE 7 and 5, operation is fast from the moment the power is turned on. Quick autofocus and fast continuous drive are a few examples. |
The DiMAGE S404 has an enormous 32MB buffer memory to maximize its high-speed LSI image processor. In addition to quick startup and fast autofocus, interval between shots is a mere 0.8-second, and playback interval a 0.2-second. Best of all, you can capture up to 7 consecutive images at a rapid 1.3 frames/second. |
