Advanced CCD-Shift Anti-Shake system
Unlike conventional systems that use a corrective system built into the lens, DiMAGE Z5 features a unique Konica Minolta innovation that actually shifts the CCD to counteract the effects of camera shake. This avoids the sacrifices in optical quality conventional systems are forced to make, assuring you of the beautiful results you want, free of the blurring that so often spoils handheld photography. What's more, Anti-Shake is driven by an exclusive algorithm that offers stability over a wider range than conventional systems (2 to 3 shutter speeds slower than the standard estimate for a scene, depending on shooting conditions).
Automatic detection of panning
When you're panning to follow your subject, unwanted Anti-Shake compensation can ruin your shot. DiMAGE Z5's advanced Anti-Shake system is designed to recognize the difference between panning movement and unwanted camera-shake, and apply compensation accordingly.
Mega Zoom: 48x total zoom with 12x optical zoom
Get close to the action, even from a distance with DiMAGE Z5's powerful Mega Zoom. The 12x optical zoom lens provides a focal length equivalent to 420mm* to let you fill the frame with far-off subjects. Plus 4x digital zoom takes the number to an incredible 48x total zoom range.
Dazzling image quality
The camera's high-resolution 5.0-megapixel CCD and high-performance GT APO lens are teamed with Konica Minolta's proprietary CxProcessT III image processing technology to ensure dazzling image quality. CxProcessT III technology not only enhances edge definition and shadow/highlight detail, it also assures rich, natural, fully saturated colors, rendered just as the human eye perceives them.
Easy-to-view 2-inch LCD monitor
A big new 2-inch LCD monitor makes it easier to see your subject and compose your shots. The larger screen size also lets you see greater detail when you're reviewing images, and boosts the legibility of on-screen menus and function settings to assure greater operating ease.
DiMAGE Z5 sets a new standard for speed and accuracy in autofocusing. Thanks to Video AF and a continuous lens drive, DiMAGE Z5 focuses in an astonishingly fast 0.2 seconds at wide angle and 0.3 seconds at telephoto. No fuss, no waiting - just beautiful results, automatically.
High-quality VGA movie recording
DiMAGE Z5 lets you enjoy high-quality VGA movie recording with sound. 640 x 480 resolution delivers a satisfyingly large picture on your computer monitor, while a 30fps frame rate results in smooth, lifelike action. In addition, new editing functions allow you to delete unwanted segments and clip single-frame still images from any movie.
Ultra-fast response
Turn power on and you're ready to start shooting in 1.9 seconds. Press the shutter release button and your image is captured immediately, with a shutter-release lag time of just 0.06 seconds. Successive shots can be taken at intervals of under 1 second so you'll never miss a magic moment. And during playback, you can scan your memory card at 0.2 seconds per image.
Super Macro for dramatic close-ups
Macro and Super Macro modes let you take stunningly beautiful close-up shots, enhanced by the superior quality of the GT Lens and 5-megapixel resolution. In Super Macro mode, you can get as close as 1 cm (0.4 inches) from your subject.
Easy printing with PictBridge
PictBridge allows you to connect DiMAGE Z5 directly to a compatible printer for fast, easy printing without the need to use a PC. Checking which image you want to print is simple: just use the camera's LCD monitor.
