Konica Minolta is pleased to announce the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. This groundbreaking new 6.1-million-pixel resolution, lens-changeable digital camera is the world’s
first digital SLR boasting a body-integral CCD-shift, “Anti-Shake” technology that
combines enhanced picture quality, performance and improved handling
characteristics. The Maxxum 7D is compatible with the full range of Maxxum AF
lenses.
The key benefit of Anti-Shake being it can support most of Konica Minolta’s AF lenses.
Anti-Shake technology allows photography with reduced blur due to camera shake,
even when shooting dimly lit scenes or when using telephoto lenses and shooting
macro subjects without the aid of flash or a tripod.
Another key to the camera’s performance are its 6.1-million effective pixels, housed on
an APS-C size CCD plus Konica Minolta’s proprietary, CxProcess™ III image processing technology that delivers high-definition, natural-looking images.
The camera also boasts a large, easy-to-view, high-definition 2.5-inch color LCD
monitor, the large screen handles the tasks of menu navigation and image display,
also providing shooting information and camera setting displays. In keeping with its
acclaimed Maxxum film SLR counterpart, the Maxxum 7D inherits a similar, simple to
use dial and lever operation system. Enhancing handling further, the new model also
features a superbly-bright, easy-to-view, high-performance viewfinder designed to be
comfortable and easy to use.
In addition, the new digital SLR offers a comprehensive function set, designed to meet
a diverse range of photographic challenges and user needs, complemented by a broad
range of Maxxum accessories.

Konica Minolta is pleased to introduce the new DiMAGE A200 8.0-megapixel SLR-type
high-performance digital camera that is perfect for all levels of photographic experience
from advanced amateur to creative beginner. Equipped with Konica Minolta’s AntiShake technology featuring a unique CCD-shift mechanism where the CCD shifts to
minimize the effect of camera shake up to 3 shutter speeds. Konica Minolta’s AntiShake function delivers a highly effective way to take high-quality images with low-ISO
hand-held shooting under telephoto and low lighting situations.
In addition, the camera’s newly employed vari-angle, TFT color LCD monitor can be
rotated up to 270° vertically and 180° horizontally, allowing photographers unrestricted
shooting at high and low angles. The included multi-functional wireless remote control
makes it easier to take self-portraits and movies whenever and wherever. And,
because the LCD provides high-speed, real-time viewing at 60 frames per second,
there is minimal lag time between the on-screen display of moving images and the
press of the shutter release.
The DiMAGE A200 comes equipped with an 8-megapixel 2/3-type progressive
primary-color CCD with 8.0 million effective pixels for super-high-resolution. The
Konica Minolta 7X optical GT lens ensures that light gets to the CCD sensor with
maximum fidelity.
Plus, with its proprietary new advanced LSI engine and
CxProcess™ III image-processing technology, the DiMAGE A200 provides high-speed
and stress-free image processing with low power consumption. And, its ability to
suppress noise and provide exceptionally accurate color reproduction means that
users get high-quality images every time.

Konica Minolta will introduce a new image editing and enhancing application software,
the “DiMAGE Master”, to the market with the launching of its world’s first digital SLR
with body-integral anti-shake technology, Maxxum 7D, as well as the new digital EVF
camera, DiMAGE A200. To satisfy the needs from DSC users for a more practical
software with advanced and easy-to-use features, such as filing , editing, processing
and printing of images, the DiMAGE Master is an optional software application to
improve creative workflow for advanced users. The newly developed 3D Lookup Table
(3D-LUT) technology for RAW processing enables more accurate color reproduction,
and can process any RAW images taken by a Konica Minolta digital camera.
Diversified operations, such as viewing, classifying, correcting, printing and more, can
be performed in the three main operating windows.
Boost Work Efficiency:
-Organizer Window
Users can browse images quickly with its instant thumbnail display. Focus checker
quickly enlarges a small portion of an image with just a click of the mouse, it’s as
simple as checking films on a light box with a magnifier to confirm focusing results.
Images can be classified into four customizable categories with just clicking a button.

-Examiner Window
Advanced and unique tools are available for accurate and effective comparison that
helps to select the best shot from several images, such as which were taken under the
same scene. The selected images can be interactively displayed and examined in
detail on the base of quantitative analyses of exposure, histogram, white balance and
focus.
-Photofinisher Window
The DiMAGE Master’s Photofinisher windoe provides a sophisticated platform for
image retouching with professional and user-friendly functions. Each editing screen for
such as white balance adjustment, tone-curve tuning, can be opened from the tool
menu in the Photofinisher window. The variation pallet allows an image to be corrected
by comparing it to other slightly corrected images that are automatically displayed
surrounding the original.

Main features:
-3D-LUT color conversion
It enables more accurate color reproduction by converting RAW image data precisely
in individual color with the newly developed algorithm.
-Customizable classification
Image files can be easily organized into four customizable categories just by clicking a
button or dragging and dropping.
-Focus checker
It enlarges a pointed portion of an image to confirm focusing results with just a mouseclick.
-Image comparison
The tools are available for comparing images side-by-side and interactively in details
on the basis of objective analyses of histogram, white balance and so on.
-Color management
The color management system using ICC profiles is built for color matching, for
instance, the ICC profile for QP paper renders the best color reproduction for use with
Konica Minolta inkjet paper (QP paper).
-Image correction jobs
It helps to save image correction settings for easy application to other images.

-Advanced sharpness correction
Sharpness can be appropriately enhanced by the precise and flexible adjustment of
spatial frequency response.
-Snapshot
Image corrections can be stored temporarily as a thumbnail next to the displayed
image.
-Apply processing function
It allows a batch processing of multiple corrected images and saving operations can be
executed in a lump.
