Using a CCD with 4.0 effective megapixels, the Dimage F100 captures high-resolution images of superb quality. CCD performance is boosted by Minolta's CT lens with 3X optical zoom and CxProcess image processing, an exclusive technology that delivers clear and natural colour reproduction. Quality is also enhanced by 12-bit A/D conversion for greater shadow area detail. Creative imaging is supported by diverse image adjustment functions such as digital effects control, exposure bracketing, "bulb" shooting, spot metering, PASM modes, ISO settings and manual focus.
