Especially, Minolta exercised its superior camera development and photographic expertise, gained from decades of experience, during a joint technical support with LSI Logic Corporation to develop the DCAM-101 chip. Minolta contributed to the development with in-depth product specification. Digital Subject Program Selection Optimize the camera s capturing settings for specific scene types using the Digital Subject Program Selection. Merging the know-how from both the silver halide and digital imaging fields, Minolta has successfully achieved optimizing the exposure metering, flash mode, white balance, and image processing that best matches the type of subject. In addition to the default automatic setting, users can select scene capture settings for landscapes, portraiture, evening twilight, night scenes, and even a setting for slow-sync.
Landscape is ideal when shooting nature subjects or architecture.
By sharpening the image, the camera faithfully reproduces the fine texture of the subjects like leaves and bricks. Portrait reduces noise, and softens the edges of the image to produce a smooth, fine gradation of the subject s complexion. In Evening , the best white balance and exposure is selected to capture the natural sunset color. Night processes pictures of night scenes into glamorous images, with smoother, noise-free dark areas and vivid color. Slow Sync sets a slower shutter speed, as low as 2 seconds, to synchronize it with the flash.
